A small frame and a long innings

A small frame and a long innings

How a junior batter at the Keshav Puram nets learned to leave the ball before he learned to hit it.

At reddycricketacademy the answer we trust is the one you can see from the boundary. A useful academy in Delhi has a coach who stays, a group small enough to be corrected, and a fee card that matches the receipt. The centre is in Keshav Puram, at 80A, Lawrence Rd, near Tyagi Public School, Block B 3, Keshav Puram, Tri Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi, 110035.

Parents often ask whether a famous name on a poster means a famous coach in the net. It does not. Ask who throws on Tuesday. Ask what happens when a player is late. Ask what the 90-day absence rule does to a registration of ₹3,000. Those answers tell you more than a ranking.

A first month should include a trial, two photographs, proof of residence, and a uniform if you take the registration. Summer nets run from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm and winter nets from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Private work, if you need it, is ₹2,500 a session or the block prices on the private page.

Bring water. Tell the physio about a sore joint before the session, not after a spell. If the shirt does not fit, exchange it within 7 days while it is still unworn. If the month is wrong for school exams, cancel before it starts so you are not paying for an empty place.

If this note matches a player you are responsible for, call +91 9990851633 and name the age and the skill you want watched. The desk will say whether the next open net is a regular group, a pair session at ₹4,000, or a camp.
