Twenty-five Commence the Level 1 Certification Coaching Course

Cricket West Indies (CWI) continued their Coaching Education Course at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence on Friday, May 19, 2023.

Twenty-five (25) participants attended the first day of the CWI Level 1 Coaching Certification Course which commenced on yesterday.

Theory sessions were held in the President Suite of the GNS, Providence, under the tutorship of Coach Developers, Brendon Ramlal from Trinidad and Tobago, and Junie Mitcham from St. Kitts and Nevis.

To support this effort, the participants viewed a number of videos on the styles of coaching to enable them to comprehend the reasons for the use of the recommended implicit coaching approach.

The day’s sessions address matters relating to the coaches’ lesson plans and the value of an organized approach to coaching, as well as a player-centered approach to coaching that included a significant focus on safety and mentorship.

Coach Developer Brendon Ramlal spoke about the environment and how it impacts batters. He explained that every person has the necessary skillset which needs to be harnessed at a young age. Further, the instructor highlighted the uniqueness of each player, and the importance of coaches knowing their players and how they are likely to react to the learning environment created by coaches.

Today, the potential CWI Level 1 Coaches are expected to undergo several practical routines geared at enhancing their capacities to deliver their coaching duties in an effective manner.

The CWI Level 2 Certification Coaching Course commenced on Thursday with 22 participants.

Ravi Rampaul whose flight from Trinidad arrived on the start date of the course, was able to join the Guyanese potential CWI Level 2 Coaches to make the group an aggregate of 23.
