The Dorset Cricket Board have organised a Dorset W&Gs Champions course to run on the 4th and 15th of April at Lytchett Manor Sports Centre, BH16 6JD.
Even though it is called a 'Champions' course it is open to anyone in the W&Gs game to attend. This course is being put on at a heavily subsidised price to those that wish to attend. A Coach Support Worker course will run on Day 1, this is aimed at developing a candidates skills in supporting a coach during a session. Day 2 is aimed at training clubs on umpiring and scoring. The 2 days are separate from each other so if someone wishes to attend just Day 1 of the course they can do, similarly if they just wanted to attend Day 2 of the course they can as well. If they want to attend both days then they will need to sign up separately for each day.
With a number of clubs hosting or playing in W&Gs competitions over the summer where umpires and scorers are needed the Umpiring and Scoring day will be perfect for volunteers from host clubs to attend or for the W&Gs players to attend themselves in case they are required to umpire any matches in the summer.
We are able to provide this course to the W&Gs clubs through the ECB funding we have received to support W&Gs cricket in Dorset in 2020. This course is available to anyone involved in W&Gs cricket to attend and the only cost is £20 for the Coach Support Worker day.
Please feel free to pass this information to any of your women members, players or officials. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the game with the aim of assisting teams to become more self sufficient in running their own matches or training in the future.
