Each candidate then has the opportunity to complete 6 observed sessions at their Club, with further assessment taking place through Group Coaching and a Multiple Choice Questionnaire.

Steve Paige, Cricket Scotland’s Head of Community Development commented that “This is a great opportunity for those wanting to coach juniors to learn from the best tutors and coaches in Scotland.  The only way to improve the quality of junior players in Scotland is to develop the next team of coaches, we expect these courses to fill up quickly and I'd encourage those wishing to coach to book on as soon as possible”.
