About Smashing Point Sports Academy
Smashing Point Sports Academy (SPSA) runs cricket coaching for children aged 4-16 in Dubai, with its Regular Coaching groups split into four levels: Little Champs, Rising Champs, Fundamentals and Titans. Each group session lasts 2 hours with a maximum coach-to-student ratio of 1:8, and parents get progress updates, session highlights and video feedback through the OnForm app. Keener players aged 7-16 can move on to extra programmes such as Squad (selected each term), Pace Foundation & Spin Clinic, Batting Skill Acquisition and Pro Fielding & Wicketkeeping, while ages 10-16 can join the match-focused Compete Program. The coaching team is led by a Director of Cricket who is a former Kerala Ranji Trophy captain, with ICC- and BCCI-certified coaches. Training runs at an air-conditioned indoor centre in Dubai Investment Park 2 and an outdoor, floodlit ground at the Sudani Club in Oud Metha. The academy also runs badminton group coaching for ages 4-16 at DIP 2. A free trial can be booked online.
The activity
Cricket, explained
Cricket coaching for children usually starts with throwing, catching and simple batting games, then adds bowling technique, fielding and match play as skills grow. Sessions tend to run in small groups in nets or on a ground, so each child gets plenty of turns with the bat and ball. Along the way kids build hand-eye coordination, balance, teamwork and patience, and learn to handle both winning and losing. Many academies take children from around age 4 and group them by age and ability, with more specialist batting, bowling, wicketkeeping and match programmes for older, keener players.
Who it's for
Children aged 4-16 in Regular Coaching, grouped as Little Champs, Rising Champs, Fundamentals and Titans. Specialist programmes (Squad, Pace Foundation & Spin Clinic, Batting Skill Acquisition) are for ages 7-16, Pro Fielding & Wicketkeeping for 7+, the Compete Program for 10-16, and the RCL & RPL match leagues for 6-9. There is also a Giants Program for adults 17+ and badminton group coaching for ages 4-16.
What to expect
A Regular Coaching session lasts 2 hours in a small group with at most eight children per coach, covering batting, bowling and fielding skills. At the DIP 2 indoor centre you train in air-conditioned nets with bowling machines and seating; at Oud Metha you play outdoors on natural-turf and astro-turf nets under floodlights. After sessions, coaches share progress updates and video feedback with parents through the OnForm app. Your first step is a free trial or free assessment, booked through the academy's online form. Kit requirements and fees are not published, so ask the provider when you book.
