Cricket Academy for Kids Near Haridwar
Finding proper, beginner-friendly cricket coaching for a young child near Haridwar can be difficult, especially coaching led by certified professionals rather than informal setups. Our Junior Cricket Program at Ayush Cricket Academy in Chidderwala is easily reachable from Haridwar and built specifically for children aged 6 to 14, covering Under-12 and Under-14 age groups, with a coaching approach that focuses on getting the basics right before anything else.
This program is a good fit whether your child is picking up a bat for the very first time, or already plays casually and needs proper technique before habits become harder to correct.
Why Haridwar Parents Choose Us for Their Kids
Many Haridwar families struggle to find local coaching that goes beyond informal practice sessions. Our junior program gives your child access to BCCI and NIS certified coaches, real turf and astro wickets, and a structured approach built around age-appropriate learning, something that is genuinely hard to find within Haridwar itself.
What Your Child Will Learn
Batting Basics
Grip, stance and simple shot technique, introduced step by step so your child develops a proper foundation rather than relying only on natural instinct.
Bowling Basics
Simple run-up, basic arm action and line and length, taught gradually so young bodies are not put under unnecessary strain too early.
Fielding and Catching
Ground fielding, catching practice and basic throwing, an area many young beginners miss out on if they only focus on batting and bowling.
Fitness and Coordination
Age-appropriate activities in our indoor gym that build coordination and basic strength without heavy training loads meant for older players.
Match Understanding
Simple game awareness like running between wickets, basic fielding positions and scoring, taught through practice games rather than lectures.
A Safe, Beginner-Friendly Environment
Young children need a coaching approach different from teenagers or adults. Sessions are supervised closely, group sizes are kept manageable, and coaches focus on encouragement over criticism. Parents visiting from Haridwar are welcome to observe sessions, especially in the early weeks, so you can see exactly how your child is being coached before committing further.

Turf, astro and cemented wicket nets, indoor and outdoor
Full-size ground for practice matches
Bowling machine, introduced gradually as skills develop
Indoor gym for basic fitness and coordination work
Floodlit evening sessions for parents who prefer after-school timings

Batch Timings
We run separate batches for younger children so they are not mixed in with older or more advanced players. Evening batches are available for children attending regular school during the day, which works well for families traveling from Haridwar after school hours.
If Travel Is a Concern
