This will enable those Clubs who have volunteers willing to assist in some activities the facility to attend a course to gain an insight into the rudimentary workings of coaching children. Sussex appear to be saying Yes the ECB courses are good but for some individuals the course is too intense- too detached from the simple, mundane tasks which some Club volunteers require. For those who wish to develop their coaching the ECB course remain available.


Details of the 2007-08 Coach Education Programme were released in July and the subsequent response has been very positive, with all 3 UKCC Level 2 courses now full with waiting lists.
There are still places available on the remaining UKCC Level 1 courses and also on all IntroductoryCourses.
Please note that from 1st January 2008 the Introductory Course is no longer an ECB course.
However, this course will still run and the content delivered will be based on the same syllabus, by ECB qualified tutors.
We are not able to give you the ECB resources on the course and you will not get an ECB Attendance certificate.
We will, however, be producing a Sussex Cricket Board attendance certificate for you.
If you would like more information regarding this or would like to discuss it, please contact Andy Hobbs on 01273 827104 .
Running along side these at different venues around Sussex are Safeguarding & Protecting Children
(previously named Good Practice & Child Protection) and First Aid courses.
There are additional spaces available on these if you need to attend.
Finally, a ‘Time 2 Listen’ course is being run in Chichester on 7th February 2008.
This course is for Club Welfare Officers with current certification in child protection training, and is a requirement for Clubmark accreditation.
