I would like to take this opportunity to share my feedback regarding the 121 Spin Bowling session with Tom Homes, an ECB Level 3 coach, conducted through InTouch Academy. I have had the privilege of observing Tom's journey over the years—first as a player during his time at the Surrey Academy program, then as the highest wicket-taker in Surrey Cricket Championship 2025 Premier Division for Ashtead Cricket Club, and at the same time as a coach who has been guiding my son with Spin bowling at InTouch Academy, Ashtead Cricket Club, and Epsom College. Having witnessed his growth both as a player and a coach, I can confidently say that Tom is truly exceptional.

Tom is an outstanding coach, and I deeply appreciate the time and effort he has dedicated to providing personalized 121 Spin sessions. His guidance has been instrumental in helping my son achieve significant progress in both technical and tactical aspects of the game. Over the past few years, my son has made remarkable strides under Tom's mentorship. Tom designs his sessions with the player's needs at the forefront, ensuring rapid progress and development to a high standard. He tailors his approach to align with modern demands while maintaining an enjoyable and engaging atmosphere.

His sessions not only focus on skill development but also challenge players in decision-making, which makes the training highly transferable to match situations. Tom consistently reinforces positive behaviour, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-worth in individuals. For instance, he provides constructive and encouraging feedback that motivates players to improve.

Tom has a keen ability to identify and nurture strengths while effectively addressing weaknesses. His sessions are both demanding and enjoyable, creating a positive experience for both players and parents alike. Tom's coaching style is engaging and motivating; he ensures that players push their limits, identify areas for improvement, and work on strengthening them to become not only better cricketers but also well-rounded individuals.

Working with Tom has been transformative for my son, helping him unlock his true potential and strive to be the best spinner he can be. I wholeheartedly recommend Tom Homes and InTouch Academy for their exceptional coaching abilities.

Special thanks to Matt Homes and Ashtead CC for their support.

So glad we came across these guys. My son has been working with in-touch for nearly a year and honestly he’s enjoying every single minute. Both Tom and Henry are engaging and completely engaged. Which is easily taken for granted when dealing with an u12 player. The hour long journey home in the car is just a babble of excitement from my son. He’s constantly quoting words of wisdom from the coaches who have vastly improved his technical and more important his mental approach. Thanks for working wonders.
