GCS × Striide

The experience is world-class. Now the pathway is too.

GCS has spent nearly two decades building the relationships, venues and coaching that give players a competitive advantage. Striide adds the missing piece, a personalised digital home that makes that advantage permanent.

The gap

Great cricket experiences expire.

Not because the coaching was wrong, but because nothing carried it home.

The camp ends

A world-class week produces a spike in ability that fades within a month at home.

No shared record

The touring coach, the home coach and the parent each hold a different, partial picture.

No next step

Players return inspired but without a structured plan for the eleven months in between.

No visibility

Talent surfaces at a GCS programme and then disappears back into an unseen local system.

The joint player journey

Five stages, one continuous record.

GCS owns the experience. Striide owns the continuity. Together they form a pathway a player can actually follow.

  1. 01

    Assess

    A baseline profile and clear goals before a single ball is bowled.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    A digital pre-camp plan so players arrive ready, not just present.

  3. 03

    Experience

    GCS coaching, camps and tours in world-class conditions.

  4. 04

    Progress

    Structured feedback and the next pathway, not a one-off high.

  5. 05

    Get Seen

    Evidence, trials and opportunity matching through myStriide.

Five pillars

A complete cricketer is built, not born.

Every GCS programme and every Striide plan is organised around the same five pillars, so what a player learns on tour is what they train at home.

Pillar 01

Technique

Batting, bowling, fielding and keeping refined to professional standards, then rehearsed digitally between sessions.

Pillar 02

Tactics

Match craft, game awareness and situational decision-making, taught by coaches who have built international pathways.

Pillar 03

Strength

Cricket-specific strength, agility and endurance programming that continues at home, on tour and between camps.

Pillar 04

Mental Resilience

Temperament, focus rituals and pressure simulation, the difference between a good player and a repeatable performer.

Pillar 05

Nutrition

Fuelling, hydration, match-day meals, sleep and recovery, personalised to body, climate and workload.

Inside the app

From grassroots to greatness, in the player's pocket.

This is what every GCS player sees before they arrive, while they train and long after the flight home.

01 / 04

Every day has a plan

Streak, daily goal and the drills recommended for that player, so the eleven months between programmes have structure.

What Striide adds

Before, during and long after the programme.

Pre-camp preparation

A digital block issued weeks before arrival: conditioning, mobility and skill priming so day one starts at pace.

In-camp companion

Session plans, cues and daily reflections logged against each player, the coach's whiteboard, in their pocket.

Post-camp pathway

A personalised programme across all five pillars, sequenced for the player's home week and season.

Coach visibility

The home coach and the GCS panel see the same plan, the same progress and the same gaps.

Parent clarity

One place to see what a player is doing, why, and what changed since the last block.

Get seen

Consent-based profiles and evidence that travel with the player when trials and opportunities appear.

The joint offer

Packaged for how you buy.

For boards & counties

A measurable programme, not a trip report. Pre-tour readiness, in-tour logging and a post-tour development record per player, exportable to your own system.

For schools & academies

Extend one tour into a season-long curriculum, with coach oversight and parent visibility built in.

For individual players

Keep the correction alive. A personalised plan across technique, tactics, strength, mental resilience and nutrition, for the days you're not in Mumbai.

Striide

Included with every GCS programme, no separate subscription for the duration of your camp or tour.

Squads continue on a member rate afterwards, arranged through GCS rather than bought separately.
