2 INTRODUCTION

There has been an extensive review of ECB Coach Education and a new ECB Coach Education Programme will be available from September 2013. The general structure of Coach Qualification and Development will remain similar to recent years, with certificated courses to suit all ages and abilities. An integral course programme for teachers is also planned for Autumn 2013 – details to be announced in the next few months. ECB Coaching Qualifications will still be governed by UKCC Certification.

In addition to these New ECB Course Opportunities outlined in the following pages, Cricket Wales is pleased to announce an increase in its own available Wales Coach Workshops for 2013/2014. As well as continuing to offer the Technically and Practically based 4 Workshops introduced in some Regions last Winter – we have devised a further 3 Workshops to add to our extensive Programme for this Winter Season – “Batting: Advanced Skills and Knowledge”, “Bowling: Advanced Skills and Knowledge” & “Captaincy and Tactical Awareness”. These Workshops, exclusively available in Wales, are all 3 Hour Courses and will provide invaluable Technical, Tactical & Cricket Awareness information to all Qualified Coaches,

The shift in ECB Course Direction and Content is driven by the desire to make coaching more “Player-Centred”. One of the biggest changes is to offer two “entry-points” for coaches wishing to become a fully qualified coach – a coach can either attend the Certificate in Coaching Children Course or the Certificate in Coaching Young People and Adults Course – both courses carry the same level of Certification – but crucially allow a coach to be trained in disciplines more suited to working with players of a specific age range – therefore making a coach more aware of a players specific needs.

From September 2013, full Coach Qualification (allowing a qualified coach to work alone) will begin at “Certificate” level and will be underpinned by two shorter courses aimed broadly at training people to “support” fully qualified coaches – “Coach Support Worker” and “Cricket Activator”.

Information and Course Dates regarding the above courses can be found in the following pages.

8 WALES COACH WORKSHOPS 2013/2014

The Cricket Wales Workshops were devised in early 2012 in order to provide all Qualified Coaches in Wales with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the development needs of our young players in Wales. It is fair to say that whilst all Qualified Coaches pick-up a huge amount of knowledge from their initial Qualification Course(s) – it is extremely difficult to retain that knowledge or even grasp its full meaning on that first course!

The 7 Cricket Wales Workshops do provide a full range of Technical, Tactical & Cricket Awareness information that the great majority of coaches will need to be aware of when working with players of different skill levels and ages.

The Workshops are largely “active” sessions and seek to give coaches the opportunity to not only listen to some of the most experienced and qualified cricketers, coaches and tutors in the UK, but to also discuss their own coaching experiences and views – as well as practice some of the techniques/pratices learned!

All workshops are 3 hours in length.

WORKSHOP COST - £15 Per Workshop
