Bell-Drummond leads star-studded line-up for FGS Plant Hard-Ball Masterclasses
Monday 23rd October 2023
Newly-appointed Club Captain Daniel Bell-Drummond will be joined by seven of his teammates in inspiring the next generation of Kent cricketers, with the return of FGS Plant Hard-Ball Masterclasses this Winter.
Back by popular demand, Kent Cricket is again running the five-week course in the Ames Levett Indoor School, starting Wednesday evenings from 22 November – 20 December 2023.
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 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)
