Somerset County Cricket Club is excited to announce the launch of this winter’s South West Coaching Programme (SWCP), a free coach development initiative aimed at enhancing the skills of cricket coaches throughout the South West.

The SWCP has been designed to offer a comprehensive approach to coach development, combining both theoretical knowledge and practical application to ensure participants gain valuable, hands-on experience.

This initiative focuses on providing coaches with the tools and insights needed to effectively develop young cricketers, equipping them with strategies that go beyond traditional coaching methods. By bringing together coaches from across Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, the programme seeks to create a collaborative learning environment that will support the long-term growth of coaching standards in the South West.

Coaches who are passionate about working with young players and who are eager to develop their skills will find the SWCP to be an ideal opportunity to further their professional development while contributing to the future of cricket in the region.

The closing date for applications is 11:59 pm on Friday October 18, 2024.
