SURREY CRICKET

COACH EDUCATION PROGRAMME 2007/2008

Surrey Cricket recognises that Coach Education plays a pivotal role in the overall development of cricket within the county. We will run various courses throughout the winter months to expand and improve our existing coaching base.

These courses (15 hours + assessment) will help you to assist more qualified coaches, delivering aspects of coaching sessions, normally under direct supervision. This may include running warm ups / cool downs, small sided games and small group work. The target audience for this course is:

The role of the ECB Coach Award (UKCC 2) holder is to be able to “Prepare for, deliver and review coaching sessions”. This course (24 hours + 10 hours supervised coaching + assessment) will help you to be able to:
