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. 3 ECB COACH EDUCATION DevelOPMENT MAP 4 ECB COACH SUPPOrt WORKER The Coach Support Worker Course looks to focus on the potential role of a “Coach’s Assistant” and will include: • Simple Laws of the game • Safety and risk assessment • Organising warm-ups and cool-downs Course Content • Roles and responsibilities • Working relationships with coaches • Game and activity management • Setting up activities and practices It is likely there will be a basic Assessment of candidates carried out during the 6 Hour Workshop Who Should Individuals wishing to assist under the direct supervision of ECB qualified coaches in the delivery Apply of high quality practical cricket coaching sessions within a club environment.
