Coaching
You can learn more about how to coach your son or daughter play cricket by
taking a Volunteer's coaching course or by becoming an ECB Coach. The club will
provide the funds for you to do this and arrange the courses provided that you
will help coach the players in return.
Volunteer’s Coaching Course
Not everyone needs or wants an ECB Coaching Qualification but are keen to help
young children develop skills and enjoy the game of cricket.
Petersfield CC have ECB qualified coaches working with children but also need
help because of the numbers we work with. It is with this in mind that a course
for ‘Volunteers’ has been developed.
It is based on activity, fun and information that may also encourage candidates
to jump on the next rung of the coaching ladder! Who knows?
What could be most important is that they will help provide a regular flow of
talented players essential to the future of the club.
ECB Coach

and consists of the following
