Why your child isn't improving

Club Practice Repeats
The Same Mistakes.

Twenty kids. One net. One coach watching from 40 metres. Nobody corrects your stance. Nobody explains why you keep edging to slip. Nobody gives you a reason. You show up, you bat, you leave the same batter you were.

Private coaching changes what that actually looks like. Not for everyone — for serious juniors and adults who want a specific, measurable outcome: to bat better.

One hour of focused 1-on-1 coaching delivers what six months of group sessions can't — your specific problem, identified and corrected, in a controlled environment with a bowling machine and zero distraction.

What you actually get

A System.
Not Just a Net.

Every session is structured, progressive, and aimed at a specific outcome. You leave knowing exactly what changed, exactly what to practise, and exactly what's next. There is no guessing.

01

Batting Diagnosis

Session one identifies your exact technical problems — grip, stance, backlift, footwork, weight transfer. You leave with a written report. Not a vague pep talk.

02

Bowling Machine Precision

Controlled delivery, exact pace, repeatable line and length. You train against the same ball until you own the shot. No randomness, no wasted balls.

03

Session-by-Session Progression

Each session builds on the last. Your development is tracked. You see what's improved and what's next — the way a professional programme should work.

04

Zamah Continuity

Between sessions, Zamah keeps the coaching alive. Daily drills, quizzes, and challenges built on the exact same principles we work on in the net. Training doesn't stop when you leave.

Included with every coaching package

Most Batters Forget
80% of a Session
by Tomorrow.

The biggest gap in cricket coaching isn't what happens in the net — it's what happens between sessions. Most juniors walk out of a great session and within 48 hours the technical cues fade, the habits slip back, and they arrive next week starting from scratch.

Zamah closes that gap. It's a gamified batting training app — think Duolingo for cricket — built entirely around the coaching principles used in every Newton Cricket Academy session. Daily drills, a 300-question quiz bank, streaks, and a global leaderboard that keeps your player engaged 7 days a week.

  • Daily batting drills tied to session content
  • 300-question batting quiz bank
  • Streak tracking and daily goals
  • T20 Match Mode simulator with scoring
  • Global XP leaderboard — compete worldwide
  • Coaching philosophy built into every question

Common questions

Before You Book

What age groups do you coach?
+
From age 8 upward, including adult players at any level — complete beginners through to provincial and professional standard. The first session assessment establishes exactly where you are and what you need.
Does my child need their own equipment?
+
No. We have equipment available for sessions. Over time we'll guide you on choosing the right bat and pads for your player's size and developing style — that's part of the coaching relationship.
How often should we book to see results?
+
Serious juniors aiming for school first team or club cricket benefit most from twice a week. Once a week produces solid progress but takes longer. The assessment session will give you a specific recommendation based on your goals and current level. Zamah fills the gaps between sessions.
What exactly is Zamah?
+
Zamah (zamah.app) is a gamified cricket training app built by Jared — think Duolingo for cricket. It includes daily batting drills, a 300-question quiz bank, streak tracking, T20 match mode, and a global leaderboard. Every question is built on the same coaching philosophy used in Newton Cricket Academy sessions. It's free to download and try.
Where exactly is the facility and how do I find it?
+
We're inside Ruimsig Athletics Stadium in Roodepoort. The entrance is a grey metal door under the grandstand — look for the Newton Cricket signage. Once inside you'll find two full-length indoor nets with LED lighting and a bowling machine. If you get lost on your first visit, call 082 817 8677 and Jared will guide you in.
Do you offer group or school coaching?
+
Yes, for small groups of 2–4 players at R250/player/hour. Coaching is done in individual rotation — not generic group instruction. We don't take large school groups — the focus stays on each player's specific development, which is what makes the difference.
What if my child has a specific technical problem I want fixed?
+
That's exactly what we're here for. Bring it to the assessment session — describe the problem, show the footage if you have it. The first session will identify whether it's the cause you think it is or something else entirely. Most batting problems have a root cause that isn't obvious from the outside. That's why 1-on-1 coaching exists.
