Cricket coaching recommendations
Having coached the England captain Alastair Cook, I have worked across the complete spectrum of coaches and players. Ben France is a passionate and highly motivated cricket coach who displays an outstanding work ethic.
We have been working in partnership with BFC for the last six months. The sessions they have provided through Sam, one of their coaches have been excellent, they have the perfect balance of lots of different challenges and skills. We can see the huge improvement and benefit to our young players.
After not playing cricket for over a decade I approached Ben about some 121 coaching before I committed to rejoining a club. I can say with pride that the 121 coaching Ben France cricket offers is now the highlight of my week, he and his coaches are welcoming, positive and incredibly encouraging.
Ben, along with his other coaches, has been leading the coaching at our Club for the last two seasons and we are very much looking forward to welcoming back this season as well. Overseeing up to 30 children and leading other coaches from Ben France Cricket
Ben has worked with both my sons in both group and one to one sessions over the last three years with a tremendous positive impact on their skill level. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben France Cricket to anyone seeking to improve their cricketing skills
