Upskilling the Bay of Plenty's cricket coaches will not only mean enhancing the skills of the players, it will also improve the game as a whole in the region.
That's what Bay of Plenty Cricket manager Tai Bridgman-Raison hopes will ultimately be achieved through coaching clinics being held in the region, starting today.
The 2018/19 Bay of Plenty cricket season gets under way today with the Northern Districts Road Show visiting the Western Bay of Plenty this evening, which will involve Northern Districts High Performance staff helping to upskill coaches and umpires.
The ND Cricket Roadshow will see the ND High Performance team facilitate coach education sessions, leading into the 2018/19 cricket season.
Bridgman-Raison said ND spin bowling expert Cliff Dickenson would be on hand to share his knowledge this evening, describing him as someone with a lot of experience and knowledge that would only benefit Bay of Plenty coaches, which would, in turn, benefit players and the game.
