Page 4 “Clearing the Boundary” Changes to Vetting Checks An update from the ECB Safeguarding Team You may be aware that significant changes are happening to the system for vetting checks. Some of these are taking place NOW. The Government has said that further changes will be happening in the Spring of 2013. We’ll bring you details in our next newsletter. For now, the main changes are to do with terminology and with the application form itself. These are detailed below:- • On December 1st 2012 the Criminal Records Bureau ( CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority ( ISA) have merged to from the Disclosure and Barring Service ( DBS). • The current CRB application form will be replaced with a new ’DBS’ Application form. The new form will reflect the change of name from CRB to DRS and a new logo, together with some wording and format changes. All key processes and information required to complete the application from remain unchanged. • DBS Application forms are available to use from the 1st December 2012. • You can continue to use any current stock of CRB application forms until 31st January 2013. • From 1st February 2013 only DBS application forms should be used. • Any old style CRB application forms received by TMG CRB ( who process the ECB’s applications ) after the 1st February 2013 will be invalid. If you have any old stocks of CRB forms these should be returned for the attention of Alison Faiers, at Lords, by the end of December 2012, and if you have any queries please contact the TMG team at safeguarding@ecb.co.uk . ECB CA Cumbria Coaches Conference 2013 - Saturday 9th March 2013 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Ullswater Road , Penrith, CA11 7EG In response to the feedback from previous conferences the theme of the 2013 Conference will be Spin, both bowling spin and batting against spin. We are delighted to have secured Gareth Breese (West Indies, Durham and Jamaica) and Ali Maiden (England Womens batting coach, Durham Academy coach). Please look on our website for more details and how to book Emerging Players Programme (EPP) The Emerging Players Programme sits at the top of the County Player Pathway, alongside the Cumberland County team. The primary objective of the programme is clear; if any player, girl or boy has the ability to play First Class/Super Four Cricket we will support their development through the EPP. A new initiative is about to be launched in partnership with Cumberland County Cricket Club, with the setting up of a County Development X1 Team Cumbria does not have the same resources as a 1 st Class County, in terms of finance and staff. We also understand the pressure everyone if feeling with the current financial climate. However, we have got the structure in place for a very credible EPP to develop players with potential. The 2012/13 programme has already started with Cumbrian players making visits to Durham and Lancashire Academies. The partnership with these first class counties offers our prospects the opportunity to make regular visits to develop their skills, supported by the academy staff and to test themselves against players of their own age group. We achieved considerable success with the development of Cumbrian players, most recently with Andrew Ireland's elevation to England's elite player’s squad, a fantastic achievement for a product of our EPP program. Lancashire are holding a spin academy with Gary Yates on the 21st of December with four talented Cumbrian spinners attending, Patrick Allington, Matthew Clark, Ben Sharp and Matthew Semple. This year’s programme with be led by Alastair McDougall with an under 13/14 trial taking place at Sedbergh school on the 16th of December. The programme will follow in the New Year after the selection process has taken place. Cumbria cricket would like to thank Steven Sharp and Steve Benson who have led our Cumbrian programme up to this point and have made an invaluable contribution to the development of many our young players. Many of you will recognise anarchic comedian Keith Lemon ( on the right ! ), but few will know Neil Boothby who is on the left in this recent photo. Neil is our new Commercial Manager who is driving Cumbria Cricket’s focus on attracting major sponsorship to help develop Cumbrian cricket. With severe pressure being put on every organisation’s financial position in the current economic climate, Neil’s undoubted experience in attracting sponsors will be invaluable. Neil is currently working at Lancashire Life magazine, following a very successful career at Macclesfield Town F.C. as their Commercial Manager. Neil, who plays cricket for Cartmel C. C., lives locally with his wife and will be focusing on the 2013 OSCA’s ceremony, which we believe we will be a cracking affair ! As usual the CCL website will have the news in due course …… maybe Keith Lemon will make an appearance ? Committed to Opening Pathways to Cricket; From Coast to Fells, Bay to Borders"
“Clearing the Boundary” Page 5 Changes to the way we train our cricket coaches come into being from September 2013. The following article has been kindly written for Cumbria cricket by Tony Robson, Training Manager, England & Wales Cricket Board, to let us all know what lies ahead. “Combining the brilliance and inspiration of the past, with the best of the present to equip players and coaches for the future.” From September, 2013 coaches will access qualifications by following a children’s coaching pathway or young people and adult coaching pathway. Clearly this may appear for some people, within and outside of our game, as a significant departure from what has gone before in terms of how we educate, develop and resource cricket coaches via ECB Community Coach Education. On the contrary, this current evolution is only possible based on the brilliance and inspiration of the past and existing position of community coaching (and coach education) within the game. Building on these excellent foundations we are now in a position to continually evolve and develop the coach education/ development experiences that we provide; based on this relentless pursuit of on-going improvement ECB CCED are now striving to enhance how we educate, support and develop: players, coaches and tutors. Therefore, the current evolution of the ECB CCED pathway is founded on the basis that: Different players have different needs; we understand this better than ever ECB’s duty is to educate and support coaches to meet players’ needs ECB will provide coaches with easy access to support based on who they are coaching and the needs they have Why is there no longer a ‘generic’ Level 2 qualification, and why has a distinction been made between coaching children and young people/ adults? There is a big distinction between how children learn and how adolescents and adults learn. In order to help all players take the most from coaching sessions, it is vital for the game to recognise how to create coaching sessions which are entirely centred around the needs of players and maximise learning and enjoyment. To help coaches have the best chance to learn the skills they need to do this, the new CCED pathway will focus a coaches attention on the types of player they work with, this means the new qualifications will grow all coaches understanding of how to create and run coaching sessions which are more focussed than ever on their own players. The ECB Player Development Model (PDM) highlights 27 different playing environments within England and Wales; via an analysis of the ECB Coach Development Model (CDM) it became apparent that we were expecting a cricket coach qualified via the ECB Coach Award (L2/ UKCC2) qualification to work across 15 of these different playing environments (from beginners in Primary School to those young players performing in County age group cricket). As such, we were asking those cricket coaches with the least amount of formal coach education (4 days) to meet the varying needs (Technical, Tactical, Physical, Mental and Lifestyle) of players across the broadest range of different participant environments. Reducing this significant challenge and encouraging coaches to develop expertise when working with specific participation groups has been at the forefront of this evolution. Additionally it is worth noting that: NEW COACHING PATHWAY INFORMATION • Over 50% of our participants in the game are children under the age of thirteen • Over 50% of ECB Coaches Association members and coaches surveyed (n2636) are working with players in the ‘EARLY’ stage of player development • Early experiences of sport have been shown to greatly influence an individual’s future involvement and engagement (scUK, Coaching Children Curriculum) • The development of fundamental movement skills early in childhood has a significant effect in the level and quality of physical competence attained in maturity (scUK, Coaching Children Curriculum) • Over 80% of sports coaches currently working within the UK are coaching children (scUK, Coaching Children Curriculum) It is clear that early experiences within cricket not only shape future participation within the game and sport generally, but they can significantly influence the quality of technical, tactical, physical, mental and social competence and performance that is attained in later stages of a players development; it is therefore obvious that cricket coaches working with children have a vital role to play in laying these foundations for future involvement and performance in our sport. Existing evidence demonstrates that the current and historical statusquo in sports coaching across the UK when working with children, is one all too often characterised by a tendency to focus on the adult format of the game, early specialisation in one sport in pursuit of excellence and the occasional prioritisation of short-term success and winning over the long-term development of young players.
