Hertfordshire Cricket

.

Hertfordshire Cricket are working in conjunction with the Saracens Herts Junior League to provide a female only ECB Support Coach Course. This is a fantastic opportunity for females to begin their coaching journey, be a role model, and inspire girls to play cricket. The course is just 3 hours long and it will teach you how to support players whilst working alongside the club’s lead coach.

This course is for females only and there are just 18 spaces available. HJL will fund the cost of the course (£40) to individuals who are linked to a club in Hertfordshire; whether they already have a girls’ section playing in the HJL, or are looking to take the first step in getting a girls’ team up and running at a club in Herts. Individuals/ clubs will be required to pay for the course in advance, and on completion of the course a BACS refund will be issued by Hertfordshire Cricket.

Cricket needs more female coaches to help grow the game, and this is a great opportunity to get going!
