ECB Resources For Clubs
The ECB produces and publishes many things that can be of significant importance to Clubs. Sometimes however, those articles and documents can be difficult to find on what is a very busy website.
On this page, Kent Cricket Board will bring together links to the more important areas and publications that can be found on the ECB web site.
If you believe something should be linked and you can’t find it here, please do let us know at this email address.
Sport:ed Summer 2007 - For Clubs and Coaches
System Manager
Post a Comment
EmailDetails of the new Kent Sports Development Unit education programme, Sport:ed have been released.
It is hoped that this new format will make it easier to determine the workshops that are relevant to coaches and the ones more directed at Clubs, particularly for those working towards Clubmark. This current schedule will run until mid-July with the next programme running from September until December.
Details of the next Sport:ed programme will be published in August.
Please note that whilst Club Connect Card Clubs are entitled to discounts for these workshops, each club will be limited to 3 spaces per course so as to ensure equal opportunity across the county for clubs to attend.
The document you will need to apply for any of these courses is available for download by clicking this link.
