The 2nd edition of the Coaches’ Refresher and ICC Level 1 Practical Assessment is a follow-up to the maiden one which took place in November 2024.
The event, which took place on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th August at the Achimota Cricket Grounds saw 13 participants, consisting of 4 females and 9 males, drawn from 5 regions; Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Central and Volta.
The course aimed to empower our dedicated hub coaches who have gone through the mandatory ICC online foundation course with the requisite practical knowledge and to assess each of the participants on key areas such coaching practices, basic bowling objectives, batting fundamentals, fielding basics, wicket-keeping and effective session planning.
A refresher was incorporated to recap and reset their coaching practices on the opening day to provide guidelines and terminologies surrounding coaching. All participating coaches were duly certified at the end of the course.
The top three performers also earned a spot to participate in the upcoming Level 1 Coaching Tutor Course to be hosted here in Ghana on 28th & 29th August, 2025, under the auspices of the International Cricket Council.
This initiative underscores the commitment of GCA to developing coaching excellence and the general growth of the game in Ghana.
