GKC proved to be one of the event’s most popular stands at this year’s edition which was held at the beautiful Sandringham Farm in Stellenbosch from 24 to 26 March.

Our Batfast Simulator and Speed Arm attracted over 200 people.

“We had great fun at the show. We were really busy on both days with the people really enjoying our state of the art equipment, GKC Coaching Director Ryan Van Niekerk said.

Each player had six balls to face from the Bat Simulator to score as many runs as possible.

“This was totally free of charge. One could face a range of different types of bowling, fast, slow and spin. People found it really entertaining, Van Niekerk said.

He continued, “We also had many parents have a go. Fathers took on their sons and many mum’s got involved as well.”

Meanwhile the Speed Arm gave people a chance to test out exactly how strong their throwing was.

“We also had plenty of questions about what we offer at GKC and how we can assist individuals,” Van Niekerk said.

“We are looking to getting out to more areas around the country. We want to create a big network within the private coaching sector,” he concluded.

The tournament consists of 8 teams which includes South Africa’s six franchise sides as well as Zimbabwe U19 and the CSA U17 Invitational Team.

Johannesburg based players such as Josh Richards, Jacob Miltz, Mitchell Van Buuren had good performances at the week as well as Cobras representatives Gavin Kaplan, Ricky Vasconcelos, Jesse Christensen, Will Sendin and Daniel Moriarty.

“We have worked with all these players over the past few years and it is always great to track the progress,” Ryan Cook who was involved as coach of the CSA U17 outfit.

“The standard of cricket at the tournament was of a high quality and this makes the pipeline for South African cricket stronger. Watching players progress through a system from year to year is exciting especially those who you have worked alongside for many years,” he added.
