ACC Level 1 Coaching Course – Khao Yai 2010

Over the last weekend CAT organized with the ACC a five day ACC Level 1 Coaching Course, from the 4th till 8th of June . The course was conducted by ACC Development Officers Aminul Islam and Rumesh Ratnayake. Course like this one will help CAT meet the increasing demand for cricket coaches from local schools around Thailand.

Cricket in the past two years has taken major steps forward and with the inclusion of cricket in the Makhamwan Games (National Youth Games) cricket uptake is only going to increase. Due to the fact that each province hosting the games is required to field a team for every single sporting discipline. With more provinces coming onboard CAT is constantly searching for means of increasing the local number of coaches.

CAT has the luxury of having certified ACC Coach Educators and has made good use of them by hosting CAT Level 0 and Level 1 Coaching Courses. This ACC Level 1 Coaching Course is the next step in the journey for those who have successfully completed the CAT Level 0 and 1. It gives them the opportunity to learn from the experiences of ACC Development Officers Aminul Islam and Rumesh Ratnayake and take their coaching skills to the next level. The five day course was held in Khao Yai at the CAT Center of Cricketing Excellence. 16 participants from Bangkok, Khon Kaen, Pattaya, Phuket, and Chiang-Mai attended the course.
