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.

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.
