A list of fully registered academy members will be published on the relevant groups each month and a strict rollcall for attendance will be taken by the coaches before each training session. Only fully registered members will participate in training and all upcoming events including matches as well as the busy CPL calendar (see below). If there are any members experiencing any issues and/or difficulties, please make sure to get in contact with Kuda Samunderu on 0710063839 or kuda@pinnaclese.org to arrange alternative solutions so that the kids do not miss out.

All registered members are encouraged to make full use of their complementary 1on1 Cricket Sessions as well as The Mental Skills Sessions which are vital for the holistic development of our young cricketers. The Mental Skills Sessions in particular, will set apart the top players and performers as well as transcend into their daily life in areas like their studies and social life. Please note, only sessions booked on the website are valid. Refrain from booking sessions via whatsapp etc.
