CAT recently conducted a Basic Cricket Coaching Course in Uttradit the northern area of Thailand from the 22nd to the 25th of July, 2010. A total of 27 participants from all over Thailand attended the cricket coaching course. The participants were given an introduction to the sport of cricket with the special attention paid to the coaching elements. Considering that this was the first time that most of the participants had been exposed to cricket, the participants absorbed all the material decimated to them by CAT resource group rather well. The course was conducted by CEO of Thailand cricket Mr. Mohideen A. Kader, Narumol Sirisuwan and Women’s national team captain Sornarin Tippoch. CAT hopes to see all those that took part in the course to implement cricket in their own province and help to promote cricket in Thailand.
The course instructor said “all of them had good sporting back ground but were new to cricket. We are hopeful that many of the participants would introduce cricket in their respective provinces with a view to participate in the National Youth Games next year.”
CAT is looking at building practice and playing facility in Uttardit. Uttradit will host the National Youth Games next year and will be fielding teams in both women and men category.
