The GMHP Academy is the culmination of 35 years passion and love of the game  by a sports mad, cricket obsessed young man who had a vision for himself and cricket in south Africa.

Coming from a cricketing and sports centred family, Graham McMillan has dedicate his life to the development of his first love, cricket. Starting out as a sports teacher in his early years, and then in a corporate capacity with the  ICC and Cricket Namibia, his vision for the game for Africa is that talent is harnessed, developed and natured so that every person has the opportunity to realise his potential both on and off the field. Sport was Graham’s ticket  out of a small mining town, and he is committed to uplifting and developing others through the game.

Our journey began in 1987 in South Africa, a sports mad country that prided itself as being a top-rated country on the field. South Africa at this time only allowed access to top-flight sport to a minority of its population. During this unequal period in our history we worked in various spheres in South Africa and Africa to assist and promote with cricket development to all.

We have extensive experience in developing and implementing training and coaching programmes as well as “coach the coaches” courses and cricket administrators courses at a club, regional and national level.

Sport is of course much more than just on-field success and involvement, with deep rooted ties within communities. Sport invokes peoples passions and emotions, propelling them to strive to be the best they can be.

Unfortunately, sport is not a level playing field, there is often poor governance, resulting in true potential being left undeveloped. Our experience is that sport remains inadequately resourced, poorly managed and it’s true value has not been accessed in any real meaningful way.

All our programmes are geared towards not only the growth and development of cricket skills, but also to developing the person within.  This is all geared in such a way  to unleash the true human potential in sport and life. We have the experience and resources to ensure that we afford everyone the best possible opportunity to excel due to all the cogs been in place and working!

You are never too young nor to old to play cricket, so start your journey with us today!

With our track record, professional approach, world class coaches and facilities we can offer every cricketer, your or old, the best opportunity to reach their potential!
