Private Coaching


At Back2Basics, we offer specialist 1-on-1 coaching to players of all ages and abilities. We provide expert coaching that is tailored to the player’s specific needs and requirements. Forget about waiting for your turn to bat, don’t bowl for 90 mins and get an 8 min bat, come and get 1-on-1 expert coaching, you will notice the difference.

With expert technique analysis, we can quickly identify your strengths and weaknesses. From this a specific program can be developed and implemented by our expert coaches. Through core skill development and consolidation, we are able to improve not only the player’s technique but also empower them to take control of their game to ensure future success.

Sessions are 1hr and are held in local indoor or outdoor cricket nets in Hamilton depending on weather and preference.

Spin Bowling


Nitin Bansal is an experienced coach and is able to provide coaching in the form of one-to-one sessions, groups, spin bowling clinics and also can come to your club/school and help your spin bowlers.

Holiday Clinic


Our school holiday cricket clinics where players can learn and improve their skills whilst making new friends and having lots of fun. Why not bring some friends along and have some fun these school holidays.

Holiday clinics are 2 or 3 day clinics which run 9am-12pm during school holidays which are run at an indoor facility.

Consultant Coaching


We offer a consultant coaching service to consult to teams, clubs or schools and offering expert coaching in a group or team environment. Nitin Bansal, is a Cricket New Zealand Level 2 accredited coach, and is available to share his passion for the game with your team/club/school. The focus would be on:


  • improving player technique

  • developing new skills

  • improving teamwork

  • building confidence

  • enhancing self esteem

  • achieve your team’s goals


For example, it could be on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis throughout the season where we conduct a session with your team/club/school and ensure that all players are continuously improving and that team spirit is strong within the group.

We would focus on individual technique correction and improvement whilst improving fielding in a team focused environment. We can also facilitate "Coach 2 Coach" sessions where we are able to coach coaches in all aspects of the game.

Group Coaching


Group Coaching Sessions are another form of coaching that we provide. Whilst the players carry out what is essentially a net session, the coach is able to identify and address each player’s specific technical improvements.

The coach can take an individual aside and work with them one-on-one or offer improvements whilst still participating in the group session. The group environment allows the coach to see a player performing against their peers and in a team environment. It also promotes teamwork and a team focus whilst helping each other to improve and achieve individual and team goals. Players can learn from each other, develop new friendships whilst receiving expert coaching.
