UKCC1 Assistant Coach

The Coach Education Team are currently planning the coaching syllabus for the Autumn of 2010.  If you are interested in enrolling on a coaching course, please ring the DCB Office on 388111 to register your interest.

The UKCC1 (Assistant Coach) course is aimed at inexperienced coaches who will be able to ‘assist more qualified coaches to deliver aspects of coaching sessions, normally under direct supervision’. This role may include running warm ups, cool downs, small sided games and small group work. The course is essentially designed for parents and volunteers starting on the coaching pathway.

The UKCC1 course will help coaches prepare for, deliver and review cricket coaching sessions. It will enable them to:

· introduce and develop the game of cricket to people of all ages in a safe and enjoyable way

· develop and improve players (as people as well as cricketers)

· develop coaching skills, knowledge and qualities

· demonstrate competence against UKCC/National standards for coaches

Safeguarding Courses

In the ‘90s increasing numbers of high profile cases of child abuse in sport motivated sports organisations to change what had been a very reactive approach to child protection. Since then there has been a widespread acceptance across the sector of children’s right to enjoy their sporting activities in a safe environment – to have fun and be safe. Sports organisations also recognise their responsibilities to be alert to concerns about children’s welfare and protection in the wider community. Sports organisations have put in place child protection policies and procedures to ensure that everyone knows what to do if they have a concern; safe recruitment practices for those working with children; and codes of conduct for all. It is therefore vital that everyone working with children, or responsible for children’s activities, is given access to opportunities to increase their awareness and confidence in responding appropriately should concerns arise.

The course is aimed at prospective and experienced coaches (this is a pre-requisite course for all coaches who wish to enrol on UKCC courses) and club welfare officers (this course must be taken in advance of the time to listen course).

This course is also a requirement for coaches wishing to attain Derbyshire Coach Mark.
