01
High Level Training Module
SCA teaches the old-style game that is gradually disappearing elsewhere. The academy uses an orthodox training module to give young cricketers insight and intense technical knowledge of the game.
Methodology
The 4 Pillars of SCA
Every session at Cross Maidan rests on the same four foundations — the academy’s own training model, worked on together rather than in separate terms.
02
Tournaments
In association with various clubs and companies, the academy runs tournaments so cricketers get scope to improve their skills and techniques — and to build confidence by playing competitively.
03
Fitness & Mental Health Programs
SCA looks after a cricketer’s overall progress. Alongside physical conditioning it runs fitness and mental health camps, with sessions on the psychology of the sport led by experts including Mr. Sanjay Rahate.
04
Interactive Sessions
Young cricketers are given a platform to interact directly with cricketers and sports experts, so they understand the game from the point of view of people who have played it.
Competition

Through the academy’s club and company associations, its players get a shot at MCA official selection tournaments.
