For those of you at the Presentation event on Saturday you will be aware we are keen to build a really strong group of coaches across the club, supporting all levels of play. The latest round of coaching courses are now being advertised on www.cricketscotland.com/participation-news/coach-education/ and we would really like to be able to support our players by putting a number of people through these programmes.

If you are a player or not please email me at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you would like to be considered to be put forward for one of these courses. A synopsis of the courses is contained below.
