ECB Coach Development supports the development of coaches at all levels of the game, to ensure they’re able to provide players with the best possible experience of playing cricket and the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding of the game to help them fulfil their potential.
The ECB offers a range of world-leading learning experiences and qualifications to suit people coaching at all levels of the game, from those volunteering at their local club to professional coaches working in an elite, international environment.
All of the courses are designed around the players you work with and their stage of development.
Coaches working with players under 18* must obtain or renew their safeguarding qualification every three years.
To renew Safeguarding Young Cricketers (SYC) online and for free please contact John Cook the County Safeguarding Officer.
As an alternative coaches may attend face to face Safeguarding and Protecting Children (SPC) workshops which can be booked via the UK Coaching website (usual cost around £30).
Coaches working with players under 18* must obtain or renew insurance cover, an ECB Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and first aid certificates every three years.
