December 2010 India Camp Testimonials
One of the best experiences of my life, I will remember this for a long, long time..the people I met and the coaching I experienced was fantastic.
Zach Richmond-Dixon
It was a great experience playing on those turning pitches in India. We were given advanced drills with loads of bowlers eager to bowl at us all day. From a weakness, the sweep shot has now become a strength for me and I love playing this shot now. I returned from this trip as a better and more confident player. Thanks a lot for such a great camp.
