Cricket has a long and successful tradition at Malvern College
We provide pupils with an environment where those with cricketing talent and ambitions to play County Cricket can find the very best support, coaching and facilities. We have a range of teams for both male and female pupils from 13-18.
Coaching
One-to-One coaching for our sports scholars and those in the XI squad is given throughout the Lent term. This involves one-hour individual sessions with either the Master in Charge of Cricket, Professional or Worcestershire CCC coaches. Individual training programmes are also tailored to help improve performance. All coaches involved with our teams have ECB qualifications and many have played at a high standard themselves.
Cricket Pathways
Malvern has strong links with Worcestershire CCC, with many of our cricket scholars involved with either the Worcestershire Academy Programme or Emerging Players Programmes. The training programme with the Academy and EPP is extensive involving nets, nutrition, fitness and lectures. We, the College, work closely with the county to make sure our students are getting the right balance between their Cricket and academic work. We also have students who are involved with other counties (Gloucestershire and Hereford) and the College makes sure that they are getting the correct amount of Cricket through One-to-Ones coaching seminars and nets.
