Bursaries

Coaching is a challenging and enormously rewarding role within our game. Players need expertise, support and passion at every level of their development.

No matter whether you are putting something back into the game you love, progressing your career, helping out at your local club, or simply providing more support to your child, there is a reason for everyone to get involved in cricket coaching.

If you or someone you know is thinking of joining the coaching family click here to find out which programme is right for you.

Bursaries funded by the generous support of the England and Wales Cricket Trust are intended to increase the diversity of learners taking their first step into coaching, gaining a qualification or taking the next step on their coach development journey.

Groups that have been identified to increase the diversity of learners accessing coach development programmes are:

·       Potential coaches/coaches that are female

·       Potential coaches/coaches from ethnically diverse communities

·       Potential coaches/coaches with a disability

·       Potential coaches/coaches experiencing financial hardship.

 A bursary can be awarded to learners that register on ECB Support Coach, ECB Foundation Coach or ECB Core Coach programmes between 1st February 2024 and 31st January 2025 and complete the face to face modules.

 Anyone wanting to access coach development that is experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 100% of the national price of the programme.

 Once an applicant receives confirmation they will need complete their programme registration using a discount code to redeem their bursary.

 Anyone wanting to access coach development that is female, from an ethnically diverse community, has a disability who is not experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 50% of the national price of the programme.

 Once an applicant receives confirmation they will need to complete their programme registration and make full payment and upon completion of the face to face modules will receive a refund to redeem their bursary.
