Ready to see your child and their sixes soar? Then you need to hurry up and secure a spot!
Now preparing for its 2023-24 campaign, Zayed Cricket Academy (ZCA) has opened programme registrations. Starting on 4 September, the 12-week Term 1 programme will be hosted at the Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub (ADCSH).
Today is also the last day to get a 10% discount with the Eid early-bird offer, so all the more reason to rush and score.
The best part of this season? ZCA programmes have been expanded, with the academy now operating seven days a week.
“We are stepping up our programmes to engage more budding athletes, both girls and boys, in the exciting sport of cricket, from junior levels, while ensuring elite players can progress their talent and ambitions and hopefully go on to represent Team Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s national teams,” explained Matt Boucher, CEO, ADCSH.

“We have been extremely encouraged by last year’s success which saw over 250 youngsters, including 25 girls play cricket at ZCA. Our girls programme has been expanded for the coming season with the aim of having a female team represented in the Team Abu Dhabi campaign by the end of next year.”
ZCA has long created a niche for itself as the UAE’s premier cricket academy, evident with the official launch of ADCSH’s Player Pathway Programme last season. The programme provided players in the capital a route from grassroots cricket through to the UAE senior national teams.
Multiple academy players have gone on to represent the UAE in age-group cricket. Ethan D’Souza, now 17 and having been with the academy since seven, made his U19 bow earlier this year before graduating to the UAE senior team.
ZCA hopefuls start from U6 and progress up to the U19s, while there are adult cricket opportunities beyond Team Abu Dhabi.
It’s time you let your child shine!
