Colts Need U10 Coaches for 2011

Wickman has been working on the Clubmark development plan for 2011. It's painful stuff with numbers which is like asking Wickman to pull his own teeth. In the process though, he has seen some phenomenal progress in the Colts set up. By Christmas time the club will have 17... yes SEVENTEEN qualified coaches. This is an amazing achievement and is a tribute to the time and dedication that everyone in the set up is putting towards the future of the club.

But in a strange quirk of the numbers we find ourselves short in one age group - the Under 10s. Sam - head coach - currently level 2 qualified and perhaps heading on to level 3 this year - today spoke to Wickman and outlined the issue:

A serious issue we have is the coaches coming through the ranks, particularly at the younger age groups. We have an acute problem with the group that will be next year’s U10s. This is the year they start playing their first competitive league cricket and the coach of this year’s U9s, has said he is not able to commit to running that side next year.

Over the next few months both Surrey and Middlesex run their coaching programmes. Most of our coaches have done Level 1 but we need more, particularly to work with the young ones where it is really important they are taught the correct techniques from the outset. If any of the adult players would like to get involved it would be really appreciated. We are looking for those who can help coach on Sundays and also those who can help manage the teams on match days (usually weekday evenings) and umpire.

Wickman urges you, if you were thinking about how to give something back to cricket and to the club to consider this. Richard Cole has signed up and will go through the ECB Coaching programme during the Autumn but as you can see here the need is broader...

More Accolades...

HWRCC Colts section have won the West Middlesex Colts Association Spirit of Cricket Award for 2010. Every club in West Middlesex (there are about 15 that play colts cricket) votes on the team that they have played during the season that has best exhibited “Spirit of Cricket”.

All age groups from U10 to U17 are included in the vote and it’s a great award to win for the club because it reflects on the sporting ethos and the excellent team spirit that runs throughout the WICK. We will be collecting the trophy at the area awards on Friday and it will be added to the trophy cabinet with pride!
