Cricket Leinster (Central Dublin) Area Welcome to Coaching Course

The Cricket Ireland Welcome to Coaching Course is a starting point for people to get into Coaching. The one-day course is ideal for Primary/Secondary School Teachers, volunteers, assistant coaches within junior club teams. Most Head Coaches for teams in clubs would be UKCC Level 2 qualified (which is the next step from a Welcome to Coaching course).

• Participants would be expected to develop their own coaching practices, principles and philosophies on coaching.
• Further development of small-sided games and drills specific to cricket.
• Offers options on the ‘type of practice’ that can be done e.g. fixed, variable, game-based learning.
• Develops understanding to the needs of the players.
• Raises awareness of dealing with poor behaviour.
• Shows coaches how to deliver 60 minute long sessions.
• Introduces coaches to the “Coach’s Toolbox” e.g. Instruct, Explain, Demonstrate, Analyse, Evaluate, Feedback, Questions, Praise.
• Resources and follow up notes emailed to the participants following the course.
• Cricket Ireland Certificate on completion.
