ENGAGE Fitness is proud to help support the future of Scottish sport by partnering with academies to provide a training base for their development.
Cricket Scotland
The Cricket Scotland Performance Academy launched in November 2019 to support the development of young male and female cricketers and encourage the continuing development of the sport across the country.
The university provides strength and conditioning coaching and gives academy members access to the ENGAGE gym facilities, where a two-bay net lane has been installed.
Players who are selected for the academy will have the opportunity to apply for a course at Edinburgh Napier, including a jointly funded PhD studentship in an area related to cricket. Athletes and coaches will access the university’s Centre for Developing Athletes, including its dual career policy to support their academic studies.
Schools, community groups and other cricket clubs will also be able to use the two-bay net lane in ENGAGE at certain times to encourage even more participation in the sport.
