Coaching Master classes with Test and First class cricketers
Pro Coach Cricket Academy along with the Yorkshire CCC 1st team players will be running a series of master class coaching sessions at different venues across Yorkshire during October half term. This is a great way for young cricketers to learn from the stars of the game.
The batting sessions will be run by Yorkshire and ex-England all rounder Anthony Mcgrath. Anthony has nearly 15 years experience in the first class game and has scored over 19,000 runs for Yorkshire in all forms of the game. He has also played for England in both Test matches and One Day Internationals.
The fast bowling master classes will be run by Steve Patterson. Steve has been an integral part of the Yorkshire squad for the last few seasons and this year has demonstrated his ability with 5 wickets against Somerset, including the prize wickets of Justin Langer and Marcus Trescothick.
The spin bowling/wicket keeping sessions will be run by Yorkshire's David Wainwright and Gerard Brophy. Both have become vital members of the Yorkshire team with David enjoying most of his success in the shorter form of the game. Gerard has established himself as Yorkshire's number 1 keeper and received his county cap earlier in the season.
