JUNIOR COACHING MANUAL

For the 2012/13 season, Queensland Cricket has released the Junior Coaching Manual.

The manual gives junior coaches an 'easy to understand' approach to coaching children between the ages of 5 and 12.

The Manual includes:

  • Tips on Coaching Children
  • The Basic Skills of Cricket
  • Season & Session Planning Templates
  • Warm Up Games
  • Skills and Drills Activities
  • Modified Games
  • MILO in2CRICKET 10 week program.

"The biggest benefit is that the diary offers junior coaches a place to start their coaching journey" said QC Coaching and Education Coordinator, Brody Grogan.

"It also holds useful information about utilizing parents and volunteers and learning from other coaches."

In addition to having examples of training sessions ready for use, the manual also houses many blank session planning templates to encourage coaches to create their own sessions.

The manual is designed to fit in the palm of your hand, and is ring-bound from the top. This makes the manual easy to use whilst at training or at the game.

The Queensland Cricket Junior Coaching Manual costs $16.

Please print out, fill in and post the order form here to Brody Grogan, Queensland Cricket, PO Box 575, Albion 4010. Or fax to 07 3262 9160   

Please note: Each MILO in2CRICKET Coordinator and Level 1 Coaching Course Participant will receive a Manual as part of their resources in 2012/13.
