Just a reminder with Junior and Senior winter nets

Just a reminder with Junior and Senior winter nets approaching you'll understand the need for a First Aid trainer to be on site (although the Coach is leading the session it doesn't mean they are a qualified 1st Aider........ they are different skills/qualifications).

So the best way to guarantee the session is run safely, with someone there who can help when required) is by you being trained.

We have two courses coming up on Wednesday 13th November at The Spicers Sports Ground, Cambridge Road, Sawston.

The first course starts at 1.45pm, the other (for those that work or can't make the daytime course) starts at 6.15pm.

The course is led by the brilliant Emma Walker and will take about 3 hours to complete.

We have just 1 place left on the course starting at 1.45pm, if you would like to book one of those please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/b4RZzk

We have 5 places left on the course starting at 6.15pm and to book please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/RmRYPE

The cost of the course is £40 and is designed to break even and represents great value, when compared to what other sports charge for exactly the same training.

Cambs Members of the ECB Coaching Association or m

Cambs Members of the ECB Coaching Association or members of the Association of Cricket Officials. Please take note of this message sent out by the ECB this afternoon:-

Ahead of the 2025 season, the ECB will be updating how memberships are purchased and managed for members across the network.

From 28th October 2024, the ECB is changing its payment processor for Direct Debit payments. Stripe Payments UK Ltd will now be responsible for all Direct Debit collections from this date. Collections will no longer be made by NatWest.

The good news is that you do not need to take any action to continue receiving the benefits of Direct Debit.

Please be assured the only change you will notice is that with effect from 28th October, Stripe Payments UK Ltd will collect your Direct Debits on behalf of England and Wales Cricket Board Limited instead of NatWest and therefore ECB LTD will now appear on your Bank/Building Society statement.

There is no need for you to complete a new Direct Debit Instruction, as details of the change will have been supplied to your bank, which may also independently notify you.

In addition, you may also see a comment on your bank statement advising you of the final payment under the old name/details and the first payment under the new name/details.

In future, if there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit, England and Wales Cricket Board Limited will notify you at least two working days in advance of your account being debited, which may be different to the notice period you have seen in the past.

You will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Direct Debit Guarantee, as detailed below.

If you have any questions about this change, please call the ECB customer service team on 0121 446 2710 or visit our help centre.

Yours in Cricket,
ECB Memberships Team

The date of our Grounds Association Get together h

The date of our Grounds Association Get together has had to change.

We will now be meeting on Sunday, 17th November at Burwell&Exning Cricket Club's Ground in Burwell, starting at 10am.

As always the session will be a combination of practical work and sharing of knowledge and experience from different Club grounds keepers.

Over the last year the group has grown from 15 willing soles to over 30 Grounds keepers from across the County..... and with Cambridgeshire having more than 80 Clubs we'd love to see a few more.

In addition to the Get Together sessions, the existing members stay in contact via a Watts App group, which shares news items, equipment maintenance advice and a quick warning system if (as happens from time to time) clubs in the area get broken in to.

Also Clubs can make savings, by joining together to bulk purchase seed, loam and fertiliser. Of the Clubs that took part this year each club made a saving compared to their purchases in 2023.

Lastly, it is a chance to get our Grounds Keepers together and say thank you. Our Grounds Keepers are a hardy bunch and after the wet winter and spring faced an uphill battle each week to get a brilliant pitch ready for the weekend, they had the job of End of Season renovations, allowing their squares to be in tip-top shape while they hibernate for winter. This work means prep for the 2025 season has already started.

The morning isn't just reserved for the primary Ground keeper, but the team at each club so if you are involved on the ground in any way come and join us!

Are you a Club Volunteer who wants to develop furt

Are you a Club Volunteer who wants to develop further their Coaching skills and experience or are you an experienced player who has started to notice players are asking you for advice and they are benefitting in both confidence and in skill level from your advice and you'd like to do more.

Well on Sunday, 27th October our next ECB Core Coach Development course starts at 9.30am at Comberton Village College.

Every club in Cambridgeshire needs more coaches to help deliver a wide range of coaching to their young people learning the game. There is also an ECB statistic that says for every 1 new coach 10 new players are created.

So by qualifying as an ECB Core Coach you will help bring the game to the next generation of players.

The course is a mix of on-line modules which you can take at home and face-to-face modules aimed at helping you build your confidence in delivering player-centred coaching sessions.

We only have a small number of places left, so if you want to get involved, we'd love to see you. Click on the link to book your place - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/G2xryX

Next Sunday we are running a brilliant ECB Support Coach Course on the lovely grounds of Chippenham Cricket Club (a beautiful ground worth visiting any time of year!).

The Support Coach course is designed to give learners the knowledge, skills and confidence to support qualified coaches.

While an ECB Support Coach is not qualified to lead sessions independently, they are an important part of any club looking to develop and further expand the number of players they have, whether that be in Men's, Women's, Boys or Girl cricket..... and we know many clubs in Cambridgeshire have this objective.

The course combines both online work (2 modules each lasting 10-15 minutes) and 1 x 3 hour face-to-face module which looks at how you communicate with those attending a training session, support batting, bowling and fielding drills and most importantly keep everyone safe and ensure everyone has fun!

You must be 16 and prior to certification you must have completed the Safeguarding in Specialist Roles training and have a valid ECB DBS.
Support Coaches really do make a difference to the game and this course is a great place to start your coaching journey!

So, the specific details of the course are:

ECB Support Coach
Date – 29th September
Time – 10.00am to 1pm
Venue – Chippenham Cricket Club, Parkside, Chippenham, Cambs, CB7 5PS
Cost - £40

Here at Cambridgeshire Cricket we are running two

Here at Cambridgeshire Cricket we are running two First Aid course on Wednesday, 13th November at the Spicers Sports Ground Pavilion, Cambridge Road, Sawston from one starting at 1.45pm, the other starting at 6.15pm.

At each game or training session we never know what might happen and in each season there is invariably something happen at each club when First Aid is needed to be provided.

We are aware from some clubs, there was concern last season where they felt exposed. The closed season is an excellent time to take stock and get members trained to cover any shortfall and make sure your club has sufficient members trained.

Our training is delivered by the brilliant Emma Walker, who will provide all participants with the confidence and knowledge to step forwards and make a difference when someone else really needs them.

On the course starting at 13.45 there are just 2 places left - to snap them up please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/b4RZzk

On the course starting at 18.15 there are 10 places left - to book onto this course please click on this link https://booking.ecb.co.uk/RmRYPE

Club Safeguarding Officers (CSO) are vital members

Club Safeguarding Officers (CSO) are vital members of the club and key to making an environment safe, welcoming and friendly for everyone to enjoy the game of cricket.

As well as holding a valid DBS certificate, CSO need to complete three sets of training:
- Online ‘Safeguarding for Specialist Roles’
- A ‘top up’ online module – ‘Safeguarding for Committee Members and Club Safeguarding Officers’
- Face to face ‘Safe Hands' workshop which is run by the local County Cricket Board

Below are dates of training courses that cover Point 3 and are aimed to provide you with the knowledge that will make your life as a CSO easier, the courses are great for getting to know other Club CSOs, sharing experience and proves you are supported by Cambridgeshire Cricket and by the ECB as well.

These courses should be updated every 3 years and in Cambridgeshire we are aware that many CSO training will expire and needs to be refreshed and we are aware that Club Safeguarding Officers change.

Course 1
The date is 25th February 2025 starting at 6.15pm

Please remember that as part of your Club Affiliation Process each club agrees to comply with the ECB Safe Hands Policy and therefore each club should have a fully qualified CSO by the start of the 2025 season.

It is also good practice for Clubs to have a full trained deputy CSO.
