UKCC1 Coaching Assistant
The course is aimed at beginner coaches who will be able to
‘assist more qualified coaches, delivering 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 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
Training Methods Workshop
This 2-3 hour workshop has been
designed to help coaching assistants manage (under direct supervision from a
more qualified coach) players within a net environment. It will also enable
coaching assistants to consider when players would benefit from working in
the nets as well as providing alternative training activities.
It will enable coaching
assistants to:

supervision from a more qualified coach)

disadvantages of working in a net environment
• run alternative activities in
a net environment

Coach Development Workshops
The primary target audience for
the new Coach Development Workshops are coaches who have attended the new
UKCC2 course. These workshops are designed to act as “stepping stones” for
individuals who wish to work towards attending either the UKCC3 course or
the Club Coach Course (available from September 2007).
Coaches can also access these
as CPD (Continual Professional Development). A certificate of attendance
will be issued for each workshop attended.
These workshops will include
content similar to the previous ECB Level II course but new developments
have meant that we can include some updated information that we feel is
valuable for coaches at this level.
CDW 1 – Developing
Batters
Club Coach Award
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.
The prerequisites for
coaches wishing to attend a Club Coach Assessment Day are:
• Attendance at all 6 ECB Coach
Development Workshops*
• ECB Level II coaches wishing
to do the Club Coach qualification do not have to attend all the CDWs 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 CDWs).
• An ECB Coach (UKCC2)
qualification or an ECB Level II qualification
Qualification Details:
The assessment will be based
upon information delivered in the Coach Development Workshops and a Club
Coach Information Booklet containing additional information specific to the
Club Coach role which will be sent to coaches before their assessment day.
Coaches will be assessed on
their ability to observe and analyse players through video analysis. They
will also be assessed on how well they are able to work with a small group
of players on tactical development in a net situation.
During this net session, they
will be assessed on their ability to apply information shared through the
workshops. This includes communication skills and the ability to observe and
analyse player performance in practice scenarios.
UKCC1 Development Courses
To assist the development of UKCC1 Coaches to UKCC2 the DCB
will be offering 5 workshops on the following areas. The lack of training
opportunities between UKCC1 and 2 has highlighted the need for these bespoke
2/3 hour courses to run to support assistant coaches gain the necessary
skills required to become a high level UKCC2 candidate.
The workshops will be on:
