England's Bowling Coach Otis Gibson Passes the Apprentices
Oct 22, 2009
Congratulations to the Cricket for Change 2009 Apprentices who have passed their Level One Cricket coaching badge which was presented to them by England's Bowling Coach, Otis Gibson.
At the start of October 2009, many Cricket for Change young players embarked on a course to become qualified cricket coaches. This would be a major achievement for all involved and the course was exactly the same as a mainstream course so the budding coaches had their work cut out.
The 4 day course was very intense with the coaches learning not just what to coach but how to coach cricket and having done a multiple choice test, child protection certificate and plenty of self reflection.
During the assessment all of the young coaches delivered fielding, batting and bowling games with vigour, determination and a lot of clarity. Then the tutors from Middlesex County Cricket Board told all of our guys that they had passed which sparked an array of celebrations including a Freddie Flintoff style “5 wicket celebration”.
Essex MLD player Ruzivo said “This is fantastic, I have worked so hard for this!"
All Cricket for Change staff proud are of their achievements. I would like to say a special thank you to all Cricket for Change staff for their efforts and to congratulate Charlie Stack, Ruzivo Kamuwiro, Jasmine Patel, Chris Lodge, Daniel Mynott, Craig Wadey, Kathryn Briddock, Ben Clayton and Ryan Jones on their qualification.
Special thanks must go to Reg Horne at the MCC Indoor School for once again letting us use their facility and I hope the relationship continues to grow from strength to strength.
