Questions parents ask
Before you book.
What ages do you coach?
Children from 4 to 18. Sessions are planned around the age and stage of the child in front of us, so a six-year-old and a fifteen-year-old are never given the same session.
Where do the sessions happen?
We come to you — at home, at school, or at a venue you already use. We currently travel across Nairobi, Kiambu and Machakos.
Do you coach children with special needs?
Yes. We adapt pace, session length and communication to the child. Tell us what your child needs when you book and we plan the session around it. It never affects the price.
What does it cost?
KSh 1,300 for a one-on-one in-person session, or KSh 2,400 for a group of three or more. There is no registration fee and no term commitment — you book sessions as you want them.
What does my child need to bring?
Nothing but themselves. We bring boards, sets and equipment. For cricket, comfortable clothes and closed shoes are enough, and beginners use soft balls.
Can you run sessions for a whole school?
Yes. Choose "a school" on the booking form and tell us roughly how many learners and their ages, and we will come back to you with a plan and a price for the group.
How do we get started?
Send an enquiry or message us on WhatsApp. We call you back — usually the same afternoon — to agree a day, a time and a venue. Nothing is charged until a session is confirmed.
