Sponsors/Investors

We are currently in the process of looking for sponsors/investors.  After the loss of our generator, which was stolen a few years ago, we are looking to get the MP Sports Cricket Ground  connected to the grid.  Unfortunately, this is no small task and we have been quoted £6,500 for the connection alone.  This does not cover the cost of the groundworks and the electricity kiosk that we would need to connect it to.

Founder and Director, Manoj Parmar is an ex-first class cricketer from Saurashtra in India.  Mr Parmar's main aim is to inspire future generations of young cricketers to achieve their maximum potential and to help children become more active.  For the past 36 years, he has worked tireless to offer a high-quality coaching and competition programme in and around Thame.  He is determined to introduce children to the world of sport and offers a vast array of sporting opportunities at the ground.  MP Sports Cricket Academy offers a comprehensive list of activities throughout the year including, indoor cricket matches during the winter; soft and hard ball practice; international courses; and diving catch practice at the local pool. The ground currently boasts two full sized cricket grounds and has brand new grass nets.  Since its creation in 2009, the club has continued to grow, supporting 27 state schools in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and catering for children as young as six, up to adult. The academy has a membership of over 100, with 400 children attending cricket camps over the summer.  Clubs from across the county attend tournaments throughout the year and cricket teams/companies rent the ground for private matches and corporate events.

With such a vast network, sponsorship at MP Sports Cricket Academy is a great way to advertise your products or services to a whole new group of people.

If you are interested in sponsoring us or investing in the cricket academy, or know of a company that may be, please do let us know.

Thank you
