Cricket Young Leaders

Target Audience: 14-18 year olds

The aim of the Cricket Young Leaders Award is to raise the profile of cricket within a Young Leadership role, inspire Young Leaders to get actively involved with cricket and help provide additional support for Kwik Cricket tournaments.

Get Involved Certificate:

Once a candidate has completed 10 hours of voluntary time the individual can choose to receive a 'Get Involved' certificate.

This certificate can then be used for evidence in logging volunteer hours for a range of volunteer and sports leadership awards e.g. Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, CSLA, JSLA

Candidates wishing to attend any of the following Courses must have a Valid CRB and be available to attend an Emergency aid and Safeguarding and protecting Children workshop prior to the commencement of the Course.

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:

• manage a net (under direct supervision from a more qualified coach)

• understand the advantages and disadvantages of working in a net environment

• run alternative activities in a net environment

• introduce, run and adapt a cricket circuit

• introduce, run and adapt Pairs cricket

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.

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:

bullet Practical solutions to common problems.
bullet Demonstrations
bullet Communication and questioning (2 hours)
bullet Observation skills (combined with batting and bowling skills).
bullet Organising larger group practices (differentiation 2 hours)

These courses are non certificated but will assist current UKCC1 coaches progress to UKCC2.
