Best Management Software for Professional Cricket Academies
Handling private coaching, lane rentals, and academy squads? Find software that helps you maximize your nets and minimize admin time.
From "Nets" to "Networks"
A professional cricket academy is complex. You have hourly facility rentals (lane hire), 1-on-1 private coaching, and group squad sessions all happening at once.
- Resource Management: Managing your "assets"—coaches and nets. Double bookings here cost money.
- Seasonal Variance: Off-season clinics vs. in-season competition management.
- Player Pathways: Tracking a player from "Little Blasters" to the "Elite Squad."
