GECKO CRICKET SPORTS - Key Persons
Parent of Rutwick 15 years old Parent comment "Over the course of a number of years now, Gecko Cricket have successfully developed my son Alex's cricketing abilities to the point that he is regularly invited to participate in representative squads and an MCC programme. Gecko have consistently dealt admirably with the ups and downs of a young boys character and latterly, with the arrival of hormones. Gecko's breadth of expertise mean that Alex has always had sound and progressive coaching whether batting, bowling off spin or bowling fast. Gecko have always treated him with courtesy, respect and that difficult art of combining serious practice with a sense of fun. Alex insists on using nothing but Gecko clothing and equipment and he refuses, point blank, to use anything other than Gecko bats. Alex has never had a poor one." Bob Gilbert

Parent Parent comment "My 12-year-old son has attended many Gecko group courses and 1-2-1 sessions over the last couple of years and always comes home happy and inspired. His cricket has progressed well and he now represents Gloucestershire at district level. The excellent standard of coaching available together with a willingness to design a session to individual requirements makes Gecko a great choice." Andy Sampson
Parent Chairman Poulton Cricket Club "I first met Ryan in 2012, when he had just started Gecko Cricket - he has been coaching our youth, ladies, and seniors ever since. Gecko has raised the standard of play in each age group and now regularly provides one-to-ones to many of our club members. The feedback I get from parents is always positive. The difference Gecko's team has made in 3 years is huge and bodes well for the future of our club as sharper young players now don Poulton CC's kit, incidentally, also provided by Gecko." David Dunn
Chairman Poulton CC. Newent Cricket Club "Gecko Cricket has helped our club beyond measure this year, including pre-season indoor evening training sessions. As a club, we have never out-sourced coaching requirements, but as an expanding club, it became necessary this year, particularly for our youth sections. We were so delighted with the pre-season results that we booked the services of Gecko Cricket, in particular Bruce Ballance, for the entire season and purchased much of the youth kit/equipment from Gecko also. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Gecko Cricket, whom we approached at very short notice before our requirements commenced, and we had no real method statement to offer them, the out-sourcing was new to us, but they rose to challenge admirably. And the guys have a great sense of humor to boot!" Andy Hayes
Youth Development Officer Parent comment "Ludo has been doing Gecko courses, Masterclasses, and having 1-to-1 coaching for years. If he could spend every moment of every day with the Gecko team he would do! They make it enormous fun and they have worked with him to improve all aspects of his game. Their bats are well balanced and well made and they have a lot of different types depending on what you are looking for. Their pads are also particularly good, very light and comfortable and highly protective. Gecko Cricket is a class act, an amazing combination of highly professional and fun." Harriet Rhys Williams
