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 Support coach courses will run in spring 2022 locally at clubs. To enquire about hosting a course in late March or April at your club, please contact Ross Atkinson (Details Below)
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.
