Catch IT

Catch IT Academy Programme (2 weeks)

This two-week Wicket Keeping Academy is designed to build technical foundations and instil confidence behind the stumps. Through a progressive structure, it focuses on the core skills needed to keep at any level - combining footwork, reactions, and spatial awareness to create keepers who are calm, clean, and commanding.

Week 1: Build your base - set, move, react

The opening week is all about setting solid foundations

  1. Own Your Set-Up: Develop a strong, balanced base to move efficiently in any direction.1.

  2. Standing Up: Fine-tune movement and hand speed for spinners and slower bowlers - be sharp, stay clean.

  3. Reactions and Hand Speed: Train quick-fire reactions and crisp glove work - every take, every chance.

Week 2: Consistency & Control

Now the focus shifts to controlling the space around the stumps.

  1. Standing back: Focus on technique when standing back - track the ball early, stay soft with the hands, and collect cleanly.

  2. Own the stumps: Build confidence moving around the stumps - to ensure every throw is a great throw.

  3. Hitting the ground: Master low takes and diving stops - commit to getting down fast and making every save count.
