BE A COACH OR BECOME A BETTER ONE!
Coach Education Programme 2014-2015
ECB Coach Support Worker (replacing the Level 1)
The UKCC Level 1 courses have now been replaced by two introductory courses called ECB Coach Support
Worker and ECB Cricket Activator Courses. Full details of our Coach Support Worker courses can be found
below and we will be running various Cricket Activator courses throughout 2015, full details will be sent to
clubs when courses have been arranged.
ECB Coach Support Worker
The Coach Support Worker Course is ideal for candidates who want to help and support an already
qualified coach (e.g. Level 2 or above) in the delivery and organisation of games and sessions. This course
is ideal for candidates who do not have the time, inclination or sport specific knowledge to qualify as a
coach. This vital role supports the coach in action and development of players predominantly in the club
environment.

in the delivery of high quality practical cricket coaching sessions within a club environment.
Commitment - Attend a 6 hour competence-based workshop

ECB Certificate in Coaching Childrens Cricket (UKCC Level 2)
Coaching children is a challenging and enormously rewarding role within the coaching pathway. Players
need expertise, support and passion at every level of their development; this course is designed with your
players' needs at its core. In turn, the experiences, tasks, practices and sharing of ideas which you
experience during the course are design to help equip you with the tools you need to meet your players'
needs. Just as players learn quickly, so do coaches. The challenge for all coaches is to learn as they
develop, just as players do.
Who Should Attend - Coaches who are going to Coach Children from 6 to 13 years of age. They may be
new coaches, existing UKCC1/ECB L1 or Young Person and Adult coaches who wish to access ‘child
specific’ content. Coaches MUST be aged 18 at the start of the course.
Commitment - Coaches will be required to attend 8 x 3 Hour Modules, complete ‘off-course’ home-study
‘online E-modules’ tasks in between modules and six sessions of supported practice usually in your own
Club Coaching environment.

pathway. Players need expertise, support and passion at every level of their development; this course is
designed with your player’s needs at its core. In turn, the experiences, tasks, practices and sharing of ideas

players' needs. Just as players learn quickly, so do coaches. The challenge for all coaches is to learn as they
develop, just as players do.

Age’ Cricket. They may be new coaches, existing UKCC1/ECB L1 or children’s coaches who wish to access
