What Parents Say

Parent Reviews

“The coaches taught our sons discipline, sportsmanship, and the mental resilience needed to succeed on and off the field. Both boys were given the opportunity to captain the Under 11 team — and in 2023 we toured the UK together as a family. Memories that will stay with them for a lifetime.”

Shivanthi & Malinda Perera

Parents of Shenul & Denith — SES Centre

“Since Saaketh enrolled in 2021, his growth as a cricketer has been phenomenal — not just in skill but in fitness and mental strength. DCCA’s overseas tours to South Africa, UK, and Australia gave him exposure no classroom could ever provide. We strongly believe his cricketing future is in safe hands.”

Sudhir & Sowmya Mohandas

Parents of Saaketh — SES Centre

“Since 2014, Desert Cubs has been an institution that makes learning fun. The MasterClasses with Jonty Rhodes, Chaminda Vaas, and Rumesh Ratnayake gave Akshat advanced-level insights money cannot buy. The coaches are not just technically brilliant — their calmness and humility have made him a better person.”
