How to Make Your Winter Training Count
As the new cricket season approaches, many young cricketers are spending hours in indoor nets.
They are batting, bowling and putting in the work.
But effort alone does not guarantee progress.
Without a clear understanding of what pre-season training is actually designed to achieve, winter sessions can easily become repetitive rather than purposeful.
That is exactly why we are running a live online workshop designed to help ambitious players prepare properly for the season ahead.
The session — Making Cricket Pre-Season Count — is designed to help players understand how to structure their training so that what they do in winter actually translates into match performance.
Why Pre-Season Preparation Matters More Than Most Players Realise
Pre-season is often treated simply as a chance to “get some practice in”.
But in reality, the habits developed during winter often shape how players perform once competitive cricket begins.
During this period, players are developing:
- Technical habits
- Decision-making patterns
- Confidence and rhythm
- Physical readiness for the season
The challenge is that many players increase training volume, rather than improving training quality.
This is why some players look excellent in nets but struggle to produce the same performances in matches.
Our workshop is designed to help players understand how to train with greater purpose and direction.
What Players Will Learn in This Workshop
This session has been designed to give players clear, practical guidance they can apply immediately in their next training session.
After attending, players will leave with:
- A clear understanding of what pre-season training is designed to build
- A simple framework for structuring nets with purpose
- Greater clarity around how skill development transfers into matches
- Personal training intentions to guide winter sessions
- Practical actions to apply immediately in their next net session
- Answers to their own questions during the live Q&A
The aim is not to ask players to train more.
It is to help them train smarter and with greater clarity.
Who This Workshop is For
The session is designed for ambitious cricketers aged 13–18 who want to approach the upcoming season with a clear plan.
It will be particularly valuable for players who:
- Train regularly in winter but feel unsure if their practice is improving performance
- Want clearer structure and purpose in their nets
- Are preparing for club, school or county cricket this season
- Want guidance from experienced coaches on how to prepare properly
The principles discussed apply to batters, bowlers and all-rounders alike.

Approach the Season with Clarity
Winter training represents a significant investment of time, energy and money for players and families.

They are the players who train with the greatest clarity and purpose.
If you want to approach the upcoming season with a clearer plan for your preparation, this workshop will give you the tools to do exactly that.
