FGS Plant Hard-Ball Masterclasses

Back by popular demand, Kent Cricket is again running a five-week Hard-Ball Masterclass course in the Ames Levett Indoor School, starting Wednesday evenings from 22 November – 20 December 2023, sponsored by FGS Plant.

Courses are available for budding cricketers aged between 9 & 17, split into two age categories, to improve their skills with bat & ball over the Winter.

Facilitated by ECB-qualified coaches, Kent Men first-team players, including Club Captain Daniel Bell-Drummond, will be showcasing specific skills and providing coaching support each week. All abilities and genders are welcome to attend.

All aspects of cricket will be practised across five weeks of learning: batting, bowling & fielding.

The price is £130 for the five-week course, which translates to just £26 per session, as well as receiving a personalised Kent Cricket x FGS Plant training t-shirt.

Confirmed Kent Men first-team players* who will be mentoring are:

  • Daniel Bell-Drummond (Club Captain, 2021 Vitality Blast winner, 2023 Men’s Player of the Year)
  • Jack Leaning (2021 Vitality Blast winner, 2023 Men’s Fielder of the Year)
  • Joe Denly (2007 & 2021 Vitality Blast winner, 2022 One-Day Cup winner)
  • Grant Stewart (2021 Vitality Blast winner & 2022 One-Day Cup winner, 2023 Men’s Bowler of the Year)
  • Joey Evison (2022 One-Day Cup winner, 2023 Men’s Young Player of the Year)
  • Hamid Qadri (2022 One-Day Cup winner)
  • Nathan Gilchrist (2022 One-Day Cup winner)
  • Jaydn Denly (2023 Men’s debutant)

There will also be plenty of opportunities for selfies and autographs with each player across the course.
