Further Information

The Level 2 course will be suitable for you if you have played cricket and have knowledge of some of the rules and techniques involved in playing the game. The ECB Coach Course is designed to help you “prepare for, deliver and review cricket coaching sessions”.

This role may include:

• Planning coaching sessions
• Leading coaching sessions on developing player’s technique
• Running games to promote learning
• Developing ways of improving player’s fitness and concentration
• Managing net practice

Course Requirements:

• 8 x 3 hour modules.
• Practical Coaching Assessment
• Multiple Choice Questionnaire
• Proof of attendance on ‘First Aid’ and ‘Good Practice & Child Protection’ courses
• A cleared CRB through the ECB
• Supported coaching practice - this requires the coach to be able to work in a coaching environment and deliver a series of coaching sessions. This may be in a club or school environment that may be provided by county boards in cases where coaches have no existing options. Coaches should be able to be supervised by a more qualified coach whilst doing their supported practice. This will give you an opportunity to develop your coaching skills ‘out in the field’.

Club Coach Award

The Dorset Cricket Board are not running the Club Coach Award in the 2010/11 Coach Education Programme. If you are interested in attending the course then please contact Rob Newton on rob.newton@dorsetcricketboard.co.uk to enquire about the possibility of attend another Counties course.

This course is available via invite only. The District and County Head Coaches identify coaches in the club, district and county environment that are suitable to attend the course. If you are interested in being put forward for the Coach Development Workshops and the Club Coach Assessment then please contact your District Head Coach.

The ECB Club Coach qualification is designed for coaches working in club and school environments who have access and responsibility for the development of players in addition to improving and driving forward their coaching skills. It is designed to provide an extra tier to the coaching pathway to those coaches whose role does require them to progress to, or do not have the time or opportunity to access the ECB Head Coach (UKCC3) course. It is also seen as a significant preparation step for coaches wishing to progress to the ECB Head Coach (UKCC3) course since it covers important themes that will be developed further at Level 3.

Prerequisites:

• Attendance to all 6 ECB Coach Development Workshops (CDW) if UKCC2
• ECB Level 2 coaches wishing to do the Club Coach qualification do not have to attend all the CDW’s but may decide to attend specific workshops as a way of preparing for the Club Coach assessment. (Note: The assessment is focused on the skills and knowledge within the 6 CDW’s)
• An ECB Coach (UKCC2) qualification or an ECB Level 2 qualification
• ECB Coaches Association Membership (the benefits of membership are numerous and include insurance cover as well as being able to access top quality coaching resources that supplement information delivered through the CDW’s. Please refer to www.ecbca.co.uk for more details on membership)
