We are excited to introduce Jacques, the Founder of XFC Sports and Head Coach of XFC Cricket.

Recently, he had the honor of working with the Australian Test squad during a cricket camp in Dubai, further underscoring his expertise in the sport
XFC Cricket is built on four key elements:
The Players: Our primary focus is on ensuring that players understand the importance of teamwork while helping them reach their full potential.
The Parents: It’s essential for parents to recognize that the emphasis lies on the player, not on them. We strive to educate parents about the type of support players truly need.
The Coaches: We are committed to recruiting dedicated coaches who can significantly contribute to the players’ development and provide diverse perspectives to enhance the coaching experience.
The XFC Community: We aim to foster an environment that distinguishes us from other cricket academies. Our vision is to work collectively towards a much larger goal that transcends the typical coaching framework.”
Join us as we continue to build a vibrant cricket community!
