Howell Cricket Academy
Located in sunny Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty the Howell Cricket Academy provides coaching and development of players at all levels. John Howell believes that if players are exposed to top level coaching they will progress to a higher level.

Programmes have been designed to enhance players cricketing abilities, identify areas for improvement and to help players develop as individuals. An important and unique feature of the programmes offered by the Academy is the emphasis placed on developing qualities like respect, integrity, self-discipline, goal-setting, creativity and the determination to succeed. Programmes are delivered in a fun and safe environment.
The Howell Cricket Academy believes everybody deserves a chance at receiving coaching and has programmes in place through the Charitable Trust to ensure that all including the underprivileged receive quality coaching.
Students receive coaching from experienced Howell Cricket Academy coaches and other quality coaches in New Zealand. Coaches who have taught at the academy include Mike Shrimpton well regarded in NZ as one of the leading coaches. He has an extensive coaching background having just recently concluded his term with the White Ferns and the NZ Cricket High Performance Centre at Lincoln University. Ex-Black Caps coach Denis Aberhart is another who has contributed.
"Most of my life has been spent playing, coaching and teaching the game of cricket. Coaching youth is especially challenging and a rewarding experience. No two players are ever the same. At our academy, coaching cricket is not limited to the technical aspects of hitting or bowling a ball, but is aimed at developing a cricketers’ mental approach to the game. Many of the skills players learn through our programmes will carry with them through life – determination, maturity, creativity, integrity and respect."
