The program will be launched with an Elite Level camp by ECB Level III Coach Ian Pont that starts on July 27th.  The camps will be held at DreamCricket Academy's indoor training facility in Hillsborough, NJ.   Outdoor sessions will be conducted at a Central New Jersey cricket ground.

Ian Pont - ECB Level III Coach - Elite-level Camp (July 27th - 30th: 7PM to 9PM)

The Academy's visiting international coach, Ian Pont will be conducting an Elite Level camp between July 27th and July 30th.  This 4-day evening (7PM to 9PM) camp has been designed for cricketers who already play club cricket or have undergone some training in cricket.  The cost of this camp is an unbeatable $99!

The camp follows the time-tested methodologies that Mr. Pont, an ECB Level III Coach, uses at his international camps in Potchefstroom, South Africa and at his own Mavericks Cricket Institute in England.   Through participation in Coach Pont's camp, cricketers learn how to fine-tune their skills and improve their game to the next level.  Topics covered at this camp include defensive and aggressive play, tactical and technical coaching, shifting momentum when needed, shot selection and shot execution.   

Those wishing to enroll in these camps can reserve their spots by e-mailing sales@dreamcricket.com or calling DreamCricket Academy at 877-HIT-A-SIX.  That is 877-448-2749.

Coach Daley is a highly respected coach in the Atlantic Region who firmly believes that cricket provides skills that youngsters can use in their lives.  Discipline, motivation, goal orientation and confidence are some of the core qualities that get emphasized owing to the sport's emphasis on teamwork.  The beginner camps will focus on basic skills of batting, bowling and fielding in a fun setting.

Advanced Beginner Camp (July 19th-23rd and August 2nd - 6th: 7:30PM to 9PM)

Advanced beginners are those who have some basic understanding of cricket having already played a bit of cricket either recreationally or as part of an academy, school or maybe they have participated in a previous camp.

Coach Earl Daley will conduct sessions in two separate camps for advanced beginners - July 19th - July 23rd, August 2nd - August 6th: 7:30PM to 9PM.  These camps cost $65 for five-days.

DreamCricket Academy is also planning a camp by Ajit Tendulkar (brother and mentor of Sachin Tendulkar) between August 9th and 14th.  Details of that camp will be announced once details are finalized.
