MLCA began with a handful of kids, a bag of balls, and a simple idea — that every child in Middlesex-London deserves a place to belong, to be coached with care, and to fall in love with cricket. What started on chilly evenings and borrowed nets soon grew into a year-round academy built on joy, structure, and safety - where every straight drive, clean take, and high-five celebrates growth and confidence.
We believe cricket should be accessible to everyone. That’s why a significant portion of our fees and sponsorships is reinvested into cricket kits and subsidized tournament participation, lowering the cost of an otherwise expensive sport for kids and parents. At MLCA, we’re here to grow the whole person, not just the player.
