Does anyone know of any decent coaches in the Durham area offering one-to-one sessions in the lead up to the new season? Looking for bowling and batting for my (soon to be) 15 year old.

I know Durham CCC do them but they're very expensive for 45 minutes and my lad didn't really enjoy it when he had a couple of sessions last year.

I've Googled but haven't seen anything local.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

He's at Evenwood. It's a fantastic club and they do look after him.

They're currently doing winter nets but they are unable to offer the one-to-one that he could do with. He's had a bit of coaching from a specialist bowling coach who has pointed out a few things that he needs to work on but he can no longer offer him a slot. Nobody at the club has the same level of expertise in that area.

He's a pace bowler who bats a bit.

Al message ash thorpe for you he's the head of park view academy based at the Riverside and captain at Chester le street, see if he can recommend anybody in you're area ,
My sons at hetton Lyons and we have a pace bowling player/coach Chris Ralston who came over from South Africa, he also coaches at Durham girls .Al ask him aswell he's a great lad , but you're right slots are very hard at the moment.

You could try contacting Steve Chapman. He's with Bishop Auckland CC so local for you and he does 1 to 1s. Top lad.
