Personal Cricket Coaching in Pune

Personal cricket coaching in Pune is the fastest path to measurable improvement. In a group batch, even at PKPF's 1:10 ratio, feedback is shared across 8-10 students. In personal coaching, every ball bowled in the net, every rep of technique work, every discussion about game sense is yours alone. The improvement rate for focused technical problems — a flawed bowling action, an inconsistent batting grip, a mental block around short-pitch deliveries — is significantly faster in one-on-one coaching than in any group setting.

What Personal Coaching Sessions Cover

Because personal coaching is customised to each student, no two session plans are identical. Coach Prasad begins with a structured intake assessment — watching you bat, bowl, or field — to identify the two or three technical areas with the highest return on focus. Sessions then rotate through those areas with progressive difficulty until the technique is embedded under pressure.

Common focus areas for personal coaching students at PKPF:

• Customised training plan: written session-by-session plan so you know exactly what to work on and why — not reactive coaching but a structured path
• Video analysis: Coach Prasad uses video review to show you what your action or batting technique actually looks like versus how it should — high-value, hard to replicate in a group setting
• Position-specific coaching: openers, middle-order batters, fast bowlers, spin bowlers, wicketkeepers, all-rounders — each has a different priority stack; personal coaching follows the right one for your role
• Accelerated improvement: at 1:10 you get six or seven chances in an hour; at 1:1 you get sixty. The session hours are used entirely, not shared
• Cricket career-path guidance and consulting: for students at crossroads — state trial preparation, pursuing coaching as a career, understanding the route to IPL or India age-group, or exploring support roles (scorer, analyst, team manager) around professional cricket

Why 1-on-1 Coaching With Coach Prasad

The quality of personal coaching is entirely dependent on the quality of the coach. Coach Prasad Jagannath Kanade's background is unusually strong for Pune:

• 25+ years of professional cricket coaching with 500+ students developed
• MRF Pace Foundation Role Model — 3 consecutive years under Dennis Lillee — the most rigorous fast bowling methodology in the world
• Ex U17 & U19 Maharashtra State Team Coach — he has sat in selection rooms and knows what raises and kills a cricketer's state chances
• Bowling Coach for U14 Maharashtra State Team
• Expert Faculty, Maharashtra Speed Star Fast Bowler Talent Hunt
• Played Ranji / Deodhar / Wills Trophy for Maharashtra — his technical knowledge is from competitive match experience, not textbooks

Personal coaching at PKPF is not a premium version of the group batch — it is a fundamentally different engagement where you are getting the full depth of Coach Prasad's analytical attention on your specific cricket.

Who Personal Coaching Is For

Personal cricket coaching at PKPF suits a range of students:

• Serious state aspirants: players at U19 or senior level targeting state selection who need intensive technical focus in the 2-3 months before trials
• Adults with schedule constraints: working professionals and students with irregular schedules who cannot commit to fixed group batch timings
• Players with a specific technical problem: one persistent flaw — run-up timing, front-arm pull, bottom-hand dominance — that hasn't been fixed despite years of group coaching
• Parents investing in high-potential juniors: a 12-year-old with clear talent who benefits from focused development beyond what a group can provide
• Career guidance seekers: players at 22-25 deciding whether to pursue cricket professionally, as coaches, or in support roles — the consulting portion of personal coaching covers this directly

Scheduling and Availability

Personal coaching sessions are scheduled around Coach Prasad's group batch commitments. Availability varies week to week. The best approach is to WhatsApp 091454 95858 with your specific requirements — age, what you play, and what problem you're trying to solve — and Coach Prasad will confirm available slots. Sessions are typically available early morning (before 7 AM), mid-morning (after group batches end at 9 AM), or early evening windows. Monday is the academy's rest day for group batches; a personal 1-on-1 session may be possible by prior arrangement — WhatsApp to confirm.

Cricket Career Consulting

A unique offering within PKPF's personal coaching is direct career consulting. This is a one-on-one conversation with Coach Prasad about your options in cricket beyond your current playing stage. Topics include:

• Understanding the Maharashtra state cricket selection pathway (district → state age-group → senior)
• What realistic IPL pathway looks like and what age and performance benchmarks are typically required
• Coaching as a career: BCCI certification levels, how to build a coaching practice, what earnings look like at different levels
• Support roles: scoring, analytics, team management, groundsmanship — how these professional roles work and how to enter them

These conversations are practical and honest, drawing from Coach Prasad's own experience navigating professional cricket from player to coach to academy founder.

How to Start

WhatsApp 091454 95858 with your name, age, what you play (batting/bowling/all-round), and what you're trying to improve. Coach Prasad responds personally to every personal coaching enquiry. The first session is a structured assessment — treated as the same free trial offered to group batch students — so there is no financial commitment until you've experienced the coaching and decided it is the right fit.
