Message from The National Cricket Association 3 The National Cricket Association, founded in 1968 has several objectives, two of which are especially relevant with reference to this publication. They are as follows: - to encourage the playing of cricket in accordance with the Laws of Cricket and in the best traditions of Sportsmanship; - to administer a coaching scheme on a national basis on behalf of the Cricket Council. The National Coaching Scheme is highly regarded by all cricketing nations as being in the vanguard of educational and coaching methods at all levels. Additionally, two separate Proficiency Award tests are run and administered by the NCA for primary and secondary school children. This instruction booklet is intended as a basic guide to students in secondary schools wishing to follow the basic GCSE or equivalent course as set out in the syllabi by the various examining boards. However, anyone wishing to delve deeper into this subject should consult the list of books for recommended reading, or if over the age of 18, consider enrolling on a locally run Coaching Award Course. Further information on the latest educational and coaching ideas are published in ‘Cricket Coach’, the journal of the Association of Cricket Coaches, or in ‘Cricket World’, an independent publication which provides a forum for NCA official policy and news. Introduction to the Module Module Objectives: After completing the Module students should be able: - to understand the basic principles of the skills of the game, tactics, field placement and umpiring signals - to apply this knowledge to improve their performance and enjoyment in both practice and the game - to discuss the development of the game in recent times. Method: Teachers should provide: - encouragement, support and motivation to students studying this module - access to facilities for practice and also suitable for the game bearing in mind the ability of the players - the opportunity for students to discuss and study any topics not fully covered in the module due to lack of space, e.g. advanced techniques, the Laws etc.
