…via the ECB Support Coach Programme!

With assistance from Durham Cricket, the Junior Section of Hartlepool Cricket Club is looking to hold a Support Coach Programme sometime in March, 2023.

Details of the Support Coach Programme can be found here :
https://www.ecb.co.uk/be-involved/coaching/coaching-courses/cricket-support-coach

The pre-requisites to undertake the Support Coach Programme are : you need to be at least 16 years old; you have undertaken the ECB’s online Safeguarding Young Cricketers training; and an ECB DBS Check needs to be completed.

The Support Coach Programme is ideal for parents and careers, plus existing, or past players at Hartlepool Cricket Club, who are looking to volunteer at Park Drive and to help support our existing ECB qualified Coaches.

David JB Thompson, (Junior Chair), said : “The Support Coach Programme is designed to help develop confidence and equip those undertaking the course with the knowledge, understanding and applied skills to enable them to support our qualified Coaches during coaching sessions. The emphasis is upon learning how to create a safe, enjoyable and welcoming player-centred environment. The SCP is an excellent way to start a cricket coaching journey. The plan is to hold the three hour course at either Park Drive, or at High Tunstall College of Science. Hopefully, a number of the parents and carers who attended our highly successful Junior Registration evening on Wednesday, 11th January, 2023 will be interested in this fantastic opportunity. For those who undertake the SCP, the Junior Section will meet the cost of the course. It would be great if at least three volunteers were to come forward from each of our different age groups”.

If you are interested in undertaking the Support Coach Programme, so that you can volunteer to help with the delivery of Junior cricket at Hartlepool Cricket Club, then please contact Chris Smith, (Director of Coaching), for further information and to register an interest. Chris can be contacted on 07790308410, or chinos.smith@gmail.com

Expressions of interest are sought as soon as possible, so that the final candidates to undertake the Support Coach Programme can be selected and confirmed. A minimum of 12 participants is required to enable the course to be delivered.
