Volunteer Recognition
Volunteers are essential to the effective running of the game of cricket
and ever year hundreds of people give up their time to help grow the
game at grassroots level.

Coaching
A new structure to the New Zealand Cricket Level 3 Coach Education
Programme was introduced in 2011. The programme is run over two
years and involves 15 selected coaches from around the country. The
programme involves a mixture of face-to-face workshops which are
facilitated at the NZC High Performance Centre at Lincoln University
and a number of different activities which the coaches are required to
complete over the two-year period to enable them to complete the
programme.
The new New Zealand Cricket Level 2 Coach Education Programme has
been facilitated throughout the country and has been a huge success
with over 60 new coaches going through the new programme.
During the year New Zealand Cricket facilitated the training of over 1500
coaches at the development level, and 156 coaches at Level One and
Level Two.
