Typical monthly fees
| Level | Monthly fee | What parents usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | ₹1,500 to 3,000 | Group nets, basic coaching, few matches |
| Mid-range | ₹3,000 to 6,000 | Smaller groups, turf wickets, regular matches, fitness |
| Premium | ₹6,000 to 15,000 | Known coaches, video analysis, bowling machines, tournaments |
Big cities such as Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru sit higher. Many academies also charge a one-time registration fee, often ₹2,000 to ₹10,000.
What parents pay for
Parents rarely leave because of the fee alone. They leave when they cannot see progress. The academies that charge more and keep children longest usually do three simple things: regular match play, a progress update every month, and a coach who knows every child by name.
How to set your fee
- Know what nearby academies charge, and what they offer for it.
- Know what local families can afford. School fees in your area are a good guide.
- Raise fees for new joiners first. Existing families accept a smaller rise, with notice, when they can see progress.
- Collect on time. Late and missed fees quietly cost many academies more than a fee rise would bring.
The hidden cost: children who leave
Every child who leaves early takes months of fees with them. For many academies, keeping players is worth more than any fee increase. Knowing exactly why they leave is half the problem solved.
