A successful cricket coach must firstly be passionate about the game and must be in a good position to promote and coach it to others. Cricket tradition and values should be taught in addition to the technical aspects of the game. It is important to recognise the benefits of being involved in the sport and the enjoyment, social and fitness benefits that can result. Winning is not everything and this is especially the case when coaching kids cricket. Here we will discuss the skills that make up a successful coach.
Organiser - The role of a coach can be considered a management role and organisation plays a key part. Training sessions and matches will need to be planned, venues booked, equipment prepared and players/parents must be kept informed of what is happening and when.
