Santhoshsussex Cricket Academy Llp

We set up the academy over in Nedumpalapara, right next to the government school. It's a decent spot for cricket because there's enough space for the nets and the kids to run around without hitting any windows. Most days you'll hear the sound of the ball hitting the bat from quite a distance. We started this because we all just really like the game and wanted a place nearby to practice properly. It gets quite dusty in the summer and when the rains come, we have to spend a lot of time covering the pitch. It's a lot of manual work, honestly. We aren't some big corporate sports center with air conditioning. It’s just grass, dirt, and a lot of sweat. The local kids come by after school and we spend hours out there. Sometimes the parents hang around and chat while we work on bowling techniques. We've got a small shed for the gear and a few benches for people to sit. It’s nothing fancy, just a local spot for people who want to play. We don't have a big marketing budget or anything like that. People just show up because they see us out there every day. It's a good community feeling. We might get some better equipment next year if things go well, but for now, we make do with what we have. It is just about playing the game we love.
