Outstanding New Cricket Training Facility – A Must-Visit for Keen Cricketers!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this brand-new cricket training facility, which opened its doors on 1st April 2025, and I was thoroughly impressed.

Booking a session couldn’t have been easier — the process is simple, quick, and efficient. The facility offers 1-hour slots from 10 AM to 8 PM, giving plenty of flexibility to fit around your schedule.

From the moment you arrive, everything is geared toward making your experience smooth and enjoyable. There’s ample parking right outside the entrance, and you’ll be warmly welcomed by Amanda, whose outstanding support and friendly attitude truly enhanced the experience.

The training environment is excellent, with superb lighting that ensures great visibility for batting practice. The store is also well-stocked with all the essentials, making it easy to pick up any last-minute gear you might need.

Each 1-hour session easily allows for four rounds of batting practice (around 25 balls per round), which is perfect for a productive and intense session. The bowling machine is highly versatile and allows you to tailor your practice to your needs — you can adjust the line, length, speed, spin, variation, and even the delay between deliveries.

Excitingly, there are already plans to expand the facility to four full-length lanes, which will even allow bowlers to have a proper run-up, further enhancing the training experience.

Overall, this is a top-class facility that’s perfect for cricketers of all levels. I highly recommend giving it a try — you won’t be disappointed!

Newlands Sports is the place to visit if you value exceptionally good service, experience and knowledge when looking to purchase sports equipment. They primarily specialise in cricket, hockey and rugby, but also stock equipment for football, racket sports and fitness and nutrition products. I have shopped with this ‘cricket family’, business for years now, and always leave with everything I need plus more! Amanda is a pleasure to deal with. She has consistently supported us whilst purchasing girls and women’s cricket equipment over the years .. I don’t think there’s anything she doesn’t know about cricket! The store is situated in Langley Moor Durham with parking just outside. During busier times I recommend parking in the Tesco car park opposite (30 second walk), or Lidl car park (1 minute walk).

Excellent service from the store owner, very upfront with everything I asked and very knowledgeable, will definitely be back for more items when required

Helpful member of staff, excellent choice of equipment. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic…. Brilliant shop, very knowledgeable staff, great products some of which are hard to find elsewhere. Super customer service.. will 100% be buying from here again. Faultless.

Really friendly staff, had loads of bat, spikes and pad brands which is good to see as you don’t get many cricket shops who can offer the wide array of items as newlands can. Got exactly what we needed.

Great family run business with plenty of knowledge and excellent customer service
