Coaching Courses

These courses are:

  • Have a Go/Kiwi – this course is targeted at coaches in the Nursery and Year 2-4 grades. This course is non-examinable and is run over one night providing coaches with skills, drills and games that will provide enjoyment and skill development for the players.
  • Coaching a Cricket Team (CACT) – this course is targeted at hard ball grade coaches but is also applicable to the Year 4 grade. This course is non-examinable and is run over two nights focusing on the basic principles of coaching a cricket team and providing skills and drills that coaches can implement into their practice sessions.

Both these courses are free to our club coaches. I have completed both these courses and found them very helpful and informative and would recommend them to all our coaches.
