COACHING THE COACHES

PROGRAMME INFORMATION

Kingsgrove Cricket Academy is dedicated to improving as many cricketers as possible. We think one of the best ways to get to as many cricketers as possible is to improve the standard of coaching coming from the people who spend the most time with these cricketers …. The team coach or parent.

So we have designed a programme to improve the knowledge and skill of the club or team coach. This higher level of coaching will then filter through and help to improve more cricketers across the board.

This course will compliment the skills and ideas learnt in the Level 1 courses and take you into the art of team training be it Junior or Senior cricket.

The programme has been created by one of Australia’s leading coaches of the last 35 years Barry Davison who has coached all age groups from Under 8’s through to Club Coach of some of Sydney’s championship winning Grade Clubs. He has covered all levels of cricket and knows them inside out.

The Course will run over 2 x 3 hour sessions, See below for dates.

Some of the Components to be covered during the courses include :
- The Science of Coaching

- Fundamental Principles of Batting, Bowling, Fielding, Wicket Keeping

- Planning Practice Session

- Common Errors

- Combined Drills

- Team Management

Clubs are invited to book in bulk numbers (4) to qualify for club discount.

DATES :
Course 1 - 14th and 21st (or 22nd) of August 2010
Course 2 - 15th and 22nd (or 21st) of August 2010

View Barry’s Coaching Profile

SSJCA enables the development of our junior players by introducing three levels of representative cricket. Initially, as a young cricketer, SSJCA runs a development squad for our Under 10 players. The players receive specialised coaching focusing on batting, bowling and fielding over a number of Sunday’s. At the conclusion of the program, the players are split into 2 teams and compete against each other under Rep Cricket conditions.

Secondly, SSJCA participates in the President’s Cup in ages 11 through to 16. It has proved a very popular introduction to representative cricket to many a player whom has missed out on selection in the NSWDCA.

Thirdly, young SSJCA cricketers aspiring to the highest levels first do so by gaining selection to teams entered by the Association in the NSW Districts Cricket Association (NSWDCA) annual competitions. These competitions today feature teams from Sydney and regional areas such as Newcastle, Illawarra, Central Coast and the ACT.

Of these players, the best are selected by Cricket NSW to be Emerging Blues and by the Sutherland District Cricket Club to play in the AW Green Shield.

In total, the SSJCA will provide 168 spots for our players to represent the Shire.
