Project Summary
We delivered two world-class cricket training environments at Strikers Academy (Super Kings Academy) in the San Francisco Bay Area: a 3-lane practice facility with tensioned perimeter netting, dividing nets, green/beige synthetic turf, and retractable nets for bowling-machine training; and a World Indoor Cricket Federation (WICF)–compliant Box cricket court with tensioned perimeter net, blue wicket with green surrounds, retractable dividing nets (convertible into 3 practice lanes), and a zip entrance.
