Academy Pathways

Three lanes in.
One standard.

Every pathway at Foundry runs off the same technical framework and the same coaching panel — only the intensity, cadence and reporting change depending on where your child is starting from.

How Placement Works

From first phone call
to first lane.

01

Book an assessment lane

A 30-minute session with a senior coach — batting, bowling or both. No pressure, no obligation to continue.

02

Get a technical read-out

You leave with a plain-English summary of current level, and a specific recommendation on which pathway and lead coach fits.

03

Start on a trial rate

First block is offered at a reduced trial rate — see Pricing & Membership for current terms.

04

Termly review & progression

Every player is reassessed each term. Movement between pathways happens on merit, not on a fixed timetable.

Not sure which pathway fits?

The assessment lane answers that for you.

Coaches place players based on what they see on the day — not on age alone.
