In Dubai, Robin Singh opens a cricket academy.
DUBAI: In collaboration with Srinivas Babu, former India all-rounder and UAE coach Robin Singh opened the Robin Singh Relations (RSR) Cricket Academy in Dubai on Tuesday.
The academy bases its curriculum mostly on actual match experience rather than a lot of exercises and regular nets. Aspiring cricket players between the ages of 7 and 19 are to be assisted in developing into fully fledged athletes who can adjust to the demands of both domestic and international cricket.
At the inauguration event, Singh stated, “The academy is not just about producing cricketers.”
It’s about developing well-rounded, disciplined people who can compete on a global scale. It’s crucial to stay in the race, but we want participants to compete with themselves rather than other players.
Gems Modern Academy in Nad Al Sheba, Gems Metropole School in Al Waha, and Gems New Millennium in Al Khail will be the academy’s first three training facilities in Dubai.
Future plans call for constructing a cricket pitch just for the academy. In order to guarantee that players receive regular competitive exposure rather than being limited to training drills, Singh and his staff also unveiled a schedule full of weekly practice matches.
Furthermore, the programme has established alliances with English county clubs, which will provide fully financed scholarships to chosen youngsters.
To give students worldwide the opportunity to improve their talents, discussions are in progress to extend similar partnerships with cricketing heavyweights in South Africa, Australia, and India.
RSR Cricket Academy stands out for its meticulous approach to performance development. The academy will allocate resources to areas that are frequently disregarded in cricket training, in addition to the customary emphasis on hitting, bowling, and fielding.
These include:
“The game of cricket involves fractions of a second,” Singh clarified. Execution, listening, and observational skills are crucial. We want our athletes to be prepared for those moments that could change the course of the game, and every little detail matters.
Legends of cricket from around the world are supporting Singh’s ambitious ambition. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, a former captain of the West Indies, and Curtly Ambrose, a great fast bowler, will be joining the coaching staff. Their worldwide knowledge and perspective will be crucial. Students will be guided by some of the best cricket minds in the world thanks to their presence.
Singh also emphasised the value of integrating academics and athletics. In addition to playing cricket, we urge young sportsmen to seek studies. They must develop as people, not just as athletes, he stated.
The academy has implemented a thorough scholarship scheme to enable this. For worthy kids, this program will pay for both tuition and cricket coaching, guaranteeing that raw potential is not impeded by financial or logistical obstacles.
The project’s core message was encapsulated by Rajaram Krishnamurthy, the marketing head: “We are here for a purpose, not for need.” The goal of this program is to empower and open doors for Dubai’s upcoming cricket players.
