A GREAT FACILITY AND GREAT COACHING
My son has hired nets and had individual coaching from Ben at Norwich Cricket Centre. I’d highly recommend both. The quality of coaching and engagement during the sessions has been excellent and made real improvements to his game.
It’s easy to book and well priced with a bowling machine. Lanes and bowling machines have always been in top order. We’ll be regular customers! Thank you!
