Nottinghamshire Recreational Cricket

Nottinghamshire CCC are pleased to be able to open up registration for coaching courses in winter 2023.

Coaches play a vital role in enabling players to reach their potential. The ECB Coach Development Programme offers a range of courses to suit you and your aims - whether you want to coach children or young people & adults (or both).

These are the courses now available for bookings – along with registration links.

Further courses after Christmas - including a female-only Foundation 1 and a Core Coach course based in the north of the county, at Cuckney Cricket Club - are currently being finalised.

A handy guide is attached at the bottom of this page to help you determine what might be the most suitable course for you/the volunteers at your club.

For any questions on coaching course, please contact Jon Dyson on CoachDevelopment@dcfcricket.com.

Scoring Courses:

Registration is also now open for two scoring courses set up through the Nottinghamshire ACO. Online scoring courses for beginners are also available.

There are a number of skills required to become a scorer in cricket and we’re here to help you get to grips with all of them from the very basics, to advanced techniques.
