“After years of watching her brother play, my daughter Lily decided she would like to try cricket. I called Geoff to see if he could help get her started. We decided that the best option for her would be a pre-season training before we committed to a whole season of cricket.
Lily completed her first 10 session program and absolutely loved it, she went on to play the spring and summer comp. Lily has gone from strength to strength and with Geoff’s great direction and patience she has become a confident young cricketing woman.
We couldn’t be happier that our daughter has embraced the love of the game.
Thanks Geoff!” – More testimonials »
