Coaches play a crucial role in developing and inspiring the next generation of cricketers across all levels of the game. Cricket NSW is committed to providing ongoing support and education to help all coaches be the best they can be.

Coaching a cricket team is a rewarding experience and a great way to contribute to players having a fun, enjoyable and rewarding experience whilst participating in Junior Community Cricket. Cricket NSW in partnership with Australian Cricket is pleased to provide a wide variety of resources and accreditation programs to support coaches throughout NSW.
