Scorchers Academy is for our older cohort of junior players, or highly skilled younger players, who are ready to take on more advanced skills and concepts. This program is geared towards transitioning into our Representative program. It involves much more focused training on the micro-fundamental skills that will elevate a players game from good to great.
This program is for junior players at the top of their age group – if your child seems to struggle in these sessions, it will be recommended to move down to our Ignite sessions to build some more core skills before re-joining Academy.
