Pitch A Net – Train Where It Matters Most
Experience match-day training—wherever you practice.
Pitch A Net is more than just another cricket net. It’s a purpose-built training solution engineered to replicate real centre-wicket match conditions. Developed by international cricket umpire Gerard Abood, this innovative system solves the long-standing issues with traditional practice nets—bringing professional-level training to clubs, schools, and academies.
After decades of observing cricket at all levels, Gerard saw how standard tunnel nets limited movement, created hazards, and fell short of delivering game-like conditions. Pitch A Net redefines how training should feel—safe, realistic, and efficient.
Why Pitch A Net?
Every element of Pitch A Net was designed with player performance and safety in mind. Built from years of practical experience, its unique design offers unmatched functionality and realism.
No Internal Poles
Traditional net systems rely on multiple vertical poles that interfere with the training zone. These poles often obstruct movement, pose a risk of ricochet, and make the net feel more like a cage than a practice tool.
Pitch A Net removes this limitation with a unique, engineered elevated truss design. The strong, overhead frame suspends the net entirely above the players, creating a clear, open training space free from obstructions. This design allows batters and bowlers to train safely, with freedom of movement that closely replicates an actual game setting.
Match-Like Simulation
Unlike tunnel-style or side nets that constrain player movement and offer poor spatial awareness, Pitch A Net is specifically built for centre-wicket simulation. The open layout improves decision-making, footwork, and shot selection under pressure. Players train in an environment that mirrors what they’ll face on match day, helping them build confidence and skill more effectively.
Quick Setup and Mobility
Pitch A Net has been engineered with lightweight materials and heavy-duty pneumatic wheels, making it highly mobile and easy to set up. Unlike bulky steel cage systems that require several people to assemble, Pitch A Net can be set up or packed down in minutes by just one or two individuals.
This portability reduces setup time and ensures more time is spent on training. Coaches and grounds staff benefit from reduced labour and flexible positioning.
Retractable Net System
The net is designed to lift off the ground during movement. This prevents snagging, reduces wear and tear, and simplifies transportation across different surfaces. The suspended net can be quickly lowered into position once moved, making the system not only functional but also long-lasting and easy to maintain.
Built for Coaches, Clubs, and Academies
Pitch A Net was built to meet the demands of a wide range of cricket training environments, including:
Elite coaching programs aiming for professional-level practice
Community and school clubs prioritising safety and realism
Ground managers and staff seeking quick, efficient solutions
Whether you are preparing junior teams for weekend matches or training elite players for representative competition, Pitch A Net provides the functionality, safety, and match-like feel to elevate every session.
