We welcome more coaches to support the increased number of junior teams and sessions we have delivered in the 2019 season and training and help is available. If you are interested then please contact the Club.

Currently the scheduled coaching courses in the West are as detailed below.

- A one day Coach Support Worker Course in the south of Glasgow on Saturday 5th October.

The course is designed to help to develop your confidence and equip you with the knowledge, understanding and skills to support a qualified coach during coaching sessions.

- A four day UKCC Level 2 Course (Coaching Children’s Cricket) at the same location starting on Sat 9th Nov.

Coaching children’s cricket (aged 6 – 13) is an enormously rewarding role within the coaching pathway.
