Scarborough is a town passionate about cricket. Therefore, it is no surprise that Scarborough College is a cricket school. The Cricket Centre of Excellence is a partnership between Scarborough College, Vitae Sports and Scarborough Cricket Club. Pupils benefit from first-class facilities, such as training and playing at North Marine Road, as well as first class coaching.
A tailor-made programme ensures that the needs of the players are met and addresses all aspects of what makes a successful cricketer. As well as aiming to get players to get involved in matches of a suitably high calibre, the programme also focuses on facets such as strength and conditioning and nutritional advice.
In addition, pupils choosing the Cricket Centre of Excellence will enjoy the benefits of a quality education at a leading independent school. If you would like to find out more or if you are keen to take the first step, then contact our Admissions Team. Our team can tell you about the admissions process, put you in touch with the Director of Cricket or start your application.
The real strength of the Cricket Centre of Excellence is its coaching staff. We are proud to have high calibre and enthusiastic coaches on our books. As a cricket school, we ensure the best possible mix of coaching staff are available to train, support and guide our students to become the best possible version of themselves. Scroll down to discover the mix of international, First Class and minor counties cricket experience that the players on the Centre of Excellence are exposed to on a weekly basis.
In early 2018 Ruth Strauss, wife of former England cricket captain Sir Andrew Strauss, was diagnosed with a terminal lung cancer that affects non-smokers. Ruth died in December 2018; she was 46 years old and mother to two children, then aged 10 and 13. In her memory, Sir Andrew Strauss set up the Ruth Strauss Foundation.
41,000 children experience the death of a parent every year in the UK – that is 112 every single day. Every year more than 6,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with non-smoking lung cancer. Over 57% are diagnosed at stage IV when there is no curative treatment.
The Ruth Strauss Foundation’s mission is two-fold:
To ensure that every family with a child facing the death of a parent from cancer is offered the professional emotional support they need to prepare the family for the future.
To facilitate collaboration and influence research in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers, so that together we find the causes sooner and improve outcomes.
