COACHING BURSARIES

There are still Coaching bursaries available for female coaches, coaches from BAME communities and coaches with a disability, which will cover up to 75% of the course fee and usually paid as a refund following attendance on a course.  Also, if there are some bursaries for financial hardship, which we can award a discount of the course fee and then a further refund after attendance.  All the info and link to application is on our website -  ECB Coach Development Bursary (lancashirecricket.co.uk). Ideally, applications should be received in advance of booking on a course, but we can still give bursaries after a course if necessary.  I would suggest even if they haven’t registered onto a specific course yet, they can apply for a bursary still.

ECB Support Coach

ECB Support Coach is a new coach development programme consisting of e-Learning and face-to-face modules that will help you take your first steps into coaching cricket.

This programme has been designed to give learners the knowledge, skills and confidence to support qualified coaches. An ECB Support Coach is not qualified to lead coaching sessions independently and therefore must be supervised by a qualified cricket coach.

More information about the course can be found here: (ECB Support Coach PDF)

ECB Foundation I Coach

ECB Foundation I Coach is a blend of e-learning and face-to-face modules led by ECB Coach Developers will explore what coaching looks like, the impact you can have as an ECB Foundation I Coach, the skills you can help players to develop and how you can learn from your experiences.

By committing yourself to this programme and becoming a qualified coach you will become an important part of the ECB’s coaching family that works together to help players improve, have fun, be safe and learn at every stage of their development.

More information about the course can be found here: (ECB Foundation I Coach PDF)

 

 ECB Core Coach

The ECB Core Coach programme will become an entry level qualification for coaching cricket in England and Wales alongside ECB Foundation I Coach. This programme is one part of a wider strategic response to needing more coaches on the ground able to inspire and develop players.  ECB Core Coach will replace the ECB Certificate in Coaching Children’s Cricket and ECB Certificate in Coaching Young People and Adults’ Cricket provision.

More information about the course can be found here: (ECB Core Coach PDF)

 

ECB Advanced Coach

This programme has been designed to build on your experiences and give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to help players improve their game as well as developing a wide area of expertise when coaching individuals, units and teams.
