Bay of Plenty Cricket is widely regarded the most successful NZ minor association in the last decade. Multiple Northern Districts Fergus Hickey Rosebowl titles and four successful Hawke Cup defences suggest the association has one of the best player pathways in the land.
A key part of the pathway has been top-quality coaching, which has seen previous Bay of Plenty senior men's coach James Pamment progress to coach the Northern Knights in the NZ Cricket Domestic competitions.
Tomorrow and on Sunday, September 20, Bay of Plenty Cricket will run a NZ Cricket Level One Coaching course at Tauranga Boys' College. The level-one course is the first of three sequential courses in the NZ Cricket Coaching pathway.
Level-one coaching lessons are primarily designed for coaches stepping up to 11-players-a-side age group (9-18 years) cricket. It is expected that the prospective level-one coaches will have playing experience and/or knowledge of the game.
Level-one qualification is also a stepping stone for senior club coaches and a useful qualification for current players keen to play in the Northern Hemisphere during the New Zealand winter.
