For players serious about getting better.

High-quality coaching for players who want to learn, develop, and perform at their best.

Creating opportunities for cricketers to improve

Edinburgh Cricket Academy (ECA) was founded by Scotland international cricketer George Munsey, whose development took place outside the traditional pathway.

By seeking external high-quality coaching and opportunities to work on his game, George progressed from outside the age-group system to international and franchise cricket.

That experience sits at the heart of ECA. We provide ambitious players with opportunities to access high-quality coaching, develop their game and create their own pathway to progress.

George still uses ECA for additional coaching and training alongside his international and franchise commitments. It’s why ECA exists: to create more opportunities for cricketers to train, learn and get better.
