Aldridge Cricket Academy Launched with Sussex County Cricket Club
A new initiative to increase the number of youngsters playing cricket in the Brighton and Hove area was launched at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove, on Wednesday 9th May, the first day of Sussex's clash with Lancashire in the LV=County Championship.
It is hoped that the Aldridge Cricket Academy will eventually produce players competing at the highest levels.
The venture is a unique partnership between Brighton Aldridge Community Academy (BACA), its sister school Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA), and the Sussex Cricket Board, supported by Sussex County Cricket Club. Facilities are being developed at both schools, with plans for the development of an all-weather pitch at BACA's Falmer site being advised upon by the professional club. The Sussex Cricket Board is providing a qualified coach, Adam Maharaj-Newman, a Sussex Premier League player with County level experience as a junior.
Sir Rod Aldridge
I established The Aldridge Foundation in 2006 after retiring from Capita, the business I set up which became one of this country’s most successful companies.
My Foundation harnesses entrepreneurship for social change. I want it to help young people reach their potential, and improve their communities, too.
