Cricket at Trichy YMCA Sports Academy
The cricket program under the YMCA Sports Academy in KK Nagar is a flagship initiative aimed at nurturing young cricketing talent and promoting the sport within the community. This project is managed under the able leadership of our dedicated chairpersons, Mr. Earnestravi and Mr. David, who are deeply committed to the growth and success of the academy’s sports programs.
At the heart of the program is our highly skilled and enthusiastic coach, Mr. Balaji, whose passion for cricket and dedication to coaching have been instrumental in shaping the abilities of our young players. Every day, approximately 40 students attend rigorous training sessions both in the morning and evening, demonstrating impressive discipline and eagerness to improve their game.
The training regimen goes beyond just the technical aspects of cricket. Coach Balaji emphasizes a holistic approach that includes physical fitness, mental toughness, strategic thinking, teamwork, and the values of fair play and sportsmanship. This comprehensive approach ensures that players are not only equipped with cricketing skills but also develop important life skills that will benefit them on and off the field.
The YMCA cricket team proudly represents the academy in numerous tournaments and friendly matches throughout Trichy city. Participating in these competitions provides the players with valuable experience and exposure to competitive cricket, fostering their growth and confidence. Over time, our team has built a reputation for sportsmanship, discipline, and competitive spirit, earning respect from peers and opponents alike.
Beyond the technical training and competition, the program serves as a community hub where young people from diverse backgrounds come together, build friendships, and learn the importance of teamwork and mutual support. The YMCA Sports Academy’s cricket project is not just about creating skilled players but about inspiring a lifelong love for the sport and encouraging healthy, active lifestyles.
Looking ahead, the academy plans to expand the program further by organizing more local tournaments, inviting guest coaches for specialized workshops, and providing opportunities for talented players to advance to higher levels of cricket. With continuous support from the leadership team and the dedication of our coach and students, the YMCA cricket program is poised to make a lasting impact on the sporting landscape of Trichy.
Skating at Trichy YMCA Sports Academy
This program is guided by a qualified coach from the Trichy Skating Association, bringing professional expertise, structured training, and strong mentorship to our students. With their support, our young skaters are building solid foundational skills in balance, speed, coordination, and confidence.
Currently, we have around 10 enthusiastic students enrolled in the program. Each one brings energy and dedication, making this an inspiring beginning for what we believe will grow into a vibrant and successful skating community at YMCA.
While this is still in its initial phase, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The YMCA sees this as more than just a sport it's a movement to encourage fitness, discipline, and teamwork among youth. We are proud to say that this effort is already setting wheels in motion for greater achievements in the future.
We invite more students and parents to explore the opportunities this program offers and be a part of our journey as we roll toward excellence in skating!
