Bursaries for Coaches
Coaching is a challenging and enormously rewarding role within our game. Players need expertise, support and passion at every level of their development. No matter whether you are putting something back into the game you love, progressing your career, helping out at your local club, or simply providing more support to your child, there is a reason for everyone to get involved in cricket coaching. If you or someone you know is thinking of joining the coaching family, please see below to find out which programme is right for you.
Bursaries funded by the generous support provided by Liverpool Victoria General Insurance Group Limited to the England and Wales Cricket Trust are intended to increase the diversity of learners taking their first step into coaching, gaining a qualification or taking the next step on their coaching journey. Groups that have been identified to increase diversity of learners accessing coach development programmes are:
A bursary can be awarded to learners that register on ECB Support Coach, ECB Foundation Coach or ECB Core Coach programmes between 1st February 2023 and 31st January 2024. Anyone wanting to access coach development that is experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 100% of the national price of the programme. Once an applicant receives confirmation they will need to complete their programme registration using a discount code to redeem their bursary.
Anyone wanting to access coach development that is female, from an ethnically diverse community, has a disability who is not experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary for up to 75% of the national price of the programme. Once an applicant receives confirmation they will need to complete their programme registration and make full payment and upon attendance at face-to-face modules receive a refund to redeem their bursary.
If you require a bursary please fill in this form. If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Eyers on [email protected] or 07557 956354.
