simply a couple of day training sessions, then the asessment.
you will simply learn how to coach and what to coach.  you will learn how to coach basic techniques and lead a small group successfully. you have to do a first aid course and a protecting children course aswell.
 its all quite basic and you have to be majorly bad to fail!!

Ah... well i'm 15, would you say too young to take the course?
I'd like to pursue coaching as a potential career, and already coach the lower years at my school.

15 is just about ok, they prefer you to be 16+ but i think you should be alright
just go on the ecb website and i'm sure there will be links to where you need to find out all the info.
you can fail, you just have to unimaginally bad at either technique or interacting with people.

Do you mean JSLA (Junior Sports Leader Award) if so you can usually do that through your school.

The ECB do not do coaching qualifications
It's The United Kingdom Coaching Course now ;D
UKCC level one is a good club coach
UKCC assistant is the 16+ and JSLA is done throguh school

Title: Re: level one
Post by: sultanofswing on February 01, 2009, 07:48:07 PM
its not the 'united kingdom cricket course' the course is run through sports coach uk  ;D
Level one is not a 'good club coach' it is an assitant coach award
Level two is a coach
level three is a head coach
there is a course to be a 'club coach' which you can do once you have done level two + 6 cricket development workshops ;D

how does that prove what you were saying?

a quote from the ECB CA website:
The ECB - under the direction of its Cricket Department - runs a National Coaching Scheme, which is designed to equip coaches with the necessary skills to deliver high quality coaching programmes at all levels of the game.

Up to and including Level 3 of this scheme is managed by Tim Lumb from the ECB Community Coach Education Office at Edgbaston. Level 4 and above is managed by Gordon Lord, ECB's Head of Elite Coach Development.

This shows that that cricket coaches are administered by the ECB although they have to meet certain standards set by Sports Coach UK.

The old ecb level 1 is not the new assistant coach award it is more equivalent to the ecb level 2 and can be converted into such with attendance at a conversion course

There is also above shown a 'ECB young leader award'
