Thank you for expressing an interest in the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) coaching qualifications.

Producing better coaches in order to produce better players is a major objective for the ECB and we are keen to do all we can to ensure your first experience of cricket coach education is as enjoyable and inspiring as possible.

As an aspiring coach, your welfare and development is a primary concern for us and we are keen that you select the most appropriate course for your own needs.

The ECB coaching philosophy relates to all of our courses and consists of the following

Good coaching is about:

• Coaching people not just cricket
• Helping people to grow and develop
• Being open and accessible to all
• Providing a safe and fun environment in which people, particularly children and young people, can enjoy their first experience of cricket, gain some success and be motivated to want to go on playing
