The Pace Battery |
|
|
|
The MRF Pace Foundation recognises promise in youngsters and scientifically hones their skills. This is apparent right from the selection process. The training extends over a period of a few years, during which the boys are given vital inputs on correct diet, exercise routines and net practices. These young cricketers graduate to represent State, Zonal and if exemplary, the National side, in a few years.

The training facilities at the MRF Pace Foundation include an Olympic sized swimming pool, and a Gymnasium structured to include specific work-outs tailor-made for pace bowlers. The grounds offer 4 different wickets to simulate actual match situations - slow, moderate, quick and artificial. A special team of personnel, including a sprint coach, sports medicine doctor and an expert dietician, trains the MRF Pace Foundation boys.
The extensive and intensive training programme lays equal emphasis on physical and mental development. The wards imbibe the underlying essence of mental discipline that distinguishes the champions from the others. A typical weekly schedule at MRF Pace Foundation
