MLCA Seattle’s rise as a premier cricket academy is strongly backed by a high-caliber coaching team featuring international and professional expertise. Led by figures like Shadley van Schalkwyk-a USA national player who delivered standout performances at the T20 World Cup—and Rishi Bhardwaj, who serves as a national-level batting coach, the academy provides players with direct access to world-class mentorship.

With a coaching structure built on real match experience, tactical depth, and performance-driven training, MLCA Seattle has created an environment where players train under professionals who actively compete or coach at the highest levels. This unique combination of international exposure and structured development has positioned the academy as a key force in producing confident, match-ready cricketers across youth, elite, and women’s pathways.
