1-to-1 Cricket Coaches in Portslade

Private 1-to-1 cricket coaching in Portslade typically costs between £35 and £65 per hour. Coaches with academy or international coaching experience sit at the top of that range. Block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions almost always come with a discount — ask about it when you enquire.

Sessions typically run on indoor nets in winter, grass wickets and club nets in summer — around Portslade that includes Victoria Recreation Ground, Vale Park and Portslade Sports Centre, plus school and club sites when the coach has an arrangement in place. Southwick and Portslade junior football clubs feed a lot of 1-to-1 demand and close enough to Hove and Shoreham that most coaches cover all three. If your player has a preferred venue, mention it in your enquiry — CoachSpot coaches list the venues they can travel to, and many will meet you at your local club or park.

Any coach working 1-to-1 with under-18s in the UK should hold an enhanced DBS check and a current safeguarding certificate. On CoachSpot both are mandatory — a coach's profile can't go live without them, and the verified badge on the profile means we've seen and reviewed the certificates directly. Batters must use a properly fitted helmet with a face guard — good coaches insist on it, especially against a bowling machine.

• Ask whether they specialise in batting, bowling or wicketkeeping — most strong coaches lean to one • For pace bowlers, ask specifically about action analysis and workload management • Check they can film side-on and behind-the-stumps video — batting technique is impossible to fix without it On CoachSpot you can filter by Portslade and by cricket, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
