Our story
Producing proficient cricketers.
SCA flourished in 2016 with the determination and efforts of Coach Mr. Sunil Soni. Since then the academy has kept an open-door policy of student–coach interaction.
The orthodox training module is seen to be declining gradually elsewhere, but SCA uses it to give players insight and intense technical knowledge of the game, and to prepare them to be genuinely efficient professionals.
We are not just an institution for cricket, but an effort to make the future of cricket in India more brilliant and ingenious. We warmly welcome every lover of cricket who wishes to join us and improve their technique.
