Our Partners: Supporting Performance On & Off the Pitch
First Class Cricket Academy is proud to work with a select group of partners and sponsors who support the development of our players both on and off the pitch. From elite mindset coaching to widening access and opportunity, these partnerships play a key role in helping our cricketers reach their full potential.

CricketMind
FCCA is in partnership with former ECB Head of Coach Development Nathan Wood and his company CricketMind, providing access to specialist online mindset coaching and sports psychology for our cricketers to help them unlock their full cricket potential.

SP Commissioning
We are grateful to our sponsor, SP Commissioning, who has been supporting us for three years now. The aim of their sponsorship is to allow talented state school children from 11 to 18, who otherwise would not be able to practise enough, to improve their skills with us. Each year, SP Commissioning has sponsored 26 weeks of a 3-hour group session, which benefits 16 young people chosen by our head coach, Raj Chaudhuri and his team as future first-team Premier League potential players. Our motto is, ‘Less talking, more cricket’.
SP Commissioning have been extending the IT lifecycle for clients since 2002 by offering a range of computer recycling services which extract maximum value from redundant IT estate, while minimising costs of disposal such as data security and WEEE environmental legislation compliance.
We are also delighted to have a partnership with CricCounty Stores, who this season are providing six promising FCCA players with free kit. Read more about this here.
Utility Warehouse
FCCA has also established a link-up with multiservice provider Utility Warehouse. UW offers some of the UK’s cheapest energy deals and you can unlock more savings on your energy when you also switch your broadband and mobile plans to UW. Anyone signing up to UW through First Class Cricket Academy will get significant savings on their bills which will help them fund the cost of their child’s coaching through the academy. Stuart Ritchie and his team of UW Partners will be on hand to guide parents through the application process. Contact them via this link:
