VISITING English cricket instructors have been impressed by the level of cricket knowledge shown by local participants of the recently held Level Two coaching course in the capital.
A total of 24 local coaches took part in the ECB Level Two cricket course, which was conducted by English instructors Tim Dellor and Phil Relf.
Dellor revealed they were impressed by the level of cricket knowledge which had been shown by the local coaches.
“We had 24 coaches in the group and, without exception, they were all excellent.
“They came with great enthusiasm and they showed some great knowledge of the game and it really helped us as we ended up doing things that are actually beyond what is typically of Level Two in terms of the content.
“The group was terrific in the six days we were together and they really worked hard during the time” said Dellor.
He added:
“It was a course that is designed to have coaches learn more about the game and help coaches coach a wide range of players from youngsters who are just starting on the game all the way to decent players trying to break into good senior sides and it is helped coaches develop their skills,
“So we touched on batting, fielding, wicket-keeping spin and pace bowling and the we did organizational skills, leadership skills, communication skills, planning skills and other qualities you need to be a good coach.”
Dellor said that the country will stand to benefit from the coaching courses, which target grassroots cricket development.
“I am hopeful that this course will be helpful in developing the game and the players that they work with.”
