About the coach
Meet Jameel Stuart.
Former Barbados captain at U15, U17 and U19 - he captained Jofra Archer, and played alongside Shai Hope, Jason Holder and Carlos Brathwaite. A first-class cricketer in the West Indies, and still one of the leading run-scorers in UK league cricket.
Why I started JSCA
Talent wasn't the problem.
I loved cricket. I loved coaching.
But I kept seeing talented players held back by coaching that treated everyone the same.
Modern cricket demands something different.
So I built an academy around developing players - not just techniques.
People buy people.
/ The mission
Develop players - not just techniques.
/ What we believe
Players don't all move the same.
They shouldn't.
Every player deserves solutions built around how they naturally function.
Our job isn't to create textbook cricketers.
It's to create effective ones.
The record
