WCI Academy -- Where Winning Becomes a Habit!

Whichever age-group you play in, you'll find WCI to be the right platform where players just don't improve skills and temperament, they develop a winning mindset, leadership skills and confidence to succeed on and off the field -- and find friends for life. 

We're headquartered in Austin (TX) and are expanding to other cities across the U.S. 

We're the only cricket academy in Austin with a proven track record of consistent tournament wins. Join us today!

We're mentored and guided by World-Cup & IPL winning coach Gary Kirsten. Our coaches are certified by his CoachED programs at Level-2 to Level-4 Elite.

First, we deeply observe player's natural flair to play and evaluate. Based on that, we create an individual development plan (IDP).
