> Message to Presenters Congratulations on being identified and selected as a presenter of the Level One (Development) Coaching Course. This course is registered with the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), designed by Cricket Australia and delivered by States and Territories who are registered to provide ongoing support and training to you, the presenter, ensuring that minimum standards are maintained. The future success of Australian Cricket will be determined by the quality of coaching delivered at all levels of the game. Coaches create the learning environment which provides an inclusive and fun experience with maximum participation. The shift in coach education has fundamentally been a move from “What to Coach” to “How to Coach” focusing on engaging participants in a variety of ways to enable the Coach and player to learn implicitly through self discovery. This Course Presenters Manual is a refreshed version from the 2007 published copy and requires existing presenters to become familiar with the new content. In particular it highlights our focus on being proactive to educate our coaches on Well Played – Australian Cricket’s Playing Policy and Guidelines, in addition to introducing our new flagship resource - the Cricket Australia Coaching Guide CD-Rom. Please take the time to read and plan for teaching coaches how to assist in providing inclusive coaching environments through the use of the T.R.E.E. methodology. This will be assessed in the candidate’s workbook and thus requires you to now include this section in the course. Australian Cricket’s Education & Training Representatives have established the vision of developing outstanding cricket educators. We acknowledge that you, the presenter, have an enormous direct impact on the quality of coaches we develop and indirectly on the growth of playing participants at grass roots level. We thank you for your continued support of Australian Cricket as we strive to achieve our vision: Cricket – Australia’s Favourite Sport. Long Live Cricket!

COURSE PRESENTER’S MANUAL
> Introduction This document refers to the Level One (Development) Course, appropriate to all beginner coaches normally coaching at Have A Go Programs, Primary or Secondary Schools, or Junior/Senior Cricket Clubs. In effect, the document more closely defines what we already do in delivering our courses. It deals with the topics we cover, why we cover them, the key points for each topic, appropriate references, possible presentation styles, various assessment strategies for each topic, and an overall assessment checklist and evaluation forms for use in assessing the course itself. It highlights two major changes introduced over recent years: • Implementing Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBT), and • Attempting to ensure the Ethical Behaviour of coaches through an agreement to conform to the Cricket Australia Coach’s Code of Behaviour. • CBT relates to the need to assess coaches in terms of a defined minimum competency: what the coach does not simply what he/she knows. CBT is not about passing/failing. It is about working towards demonstrating the appropriate coaching attitudes, behaviours and skills to warrant being regarded as a “Level One (Development) Coach”. The competency expected of a Level One (Development) Coach is that he/she can: “plan, prepare and conduct a training session in a safe and appropriate environment using a range of specified coaching skills.” AND “plan, prepare and conduct a match day program in a safe and appropriate environment using a range of specified coaching skills.” Each State and Territory, therefore, needs to assess each coach against this standard. THIS MANUAL This manual aims to provide guidance to two key groups in Coach Education in Australian cricket: • State/Territory Cricket Association Coaching Managers and, • Cricket Australia Level One (Development) Course Presenters GENERAL INFORMATION Course Provider details: Name: Cricket Australia Address: 60 Jolimont Street, Jolimont, Victoria, 3002 Telephone: 03 9653 9999 Fax: 03 9653 9911 Email:

COURSE PRESENTER’S MANUAL
> Competency Based Training Delivery Course Workshop Participants attend workshops/presentations over a minimum of 14 hours. Customisation of Courses Where an entire group has pre-existing skills, the State/Territory Coaching Manager has the discretion to tailor the course to the participants and emphasise (or spend less time) on particular sections. This may apply most readily to trainee and trained primary and secondary school teachers. Similarly, where a State/Territory Coaching Manager is aware of major difficulties experienced by individuals or groups (perhaps through limited access to course or distances to be covered by candidates to attend) a decision can be made to deliver components of the course through use of the Coaching Guide CD Rom, Australian Cricket Coach Manual and Workbook followed by a full day practical course and assessment.
> Recognition of Prior Learning There will be no honorary accreditation. All coaches must satisfy the competencies of each particular level of accreditation as it applies to Australian cricket. All applications for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) complete with supportive documentation must be forwarded to the State/Territory Coaching Manager who will then make a determination. The onus of proof of RPL is on the applicant insofar as he/she needs to state which competencies he/she possesses against the stated competencies outlined for the Cricket Australia Level One (Development) NCAS accreditation course. A non-refundable fee of $100 payable to the State Foundation/Trust will apply for all RPL applications to cover administration costs. If successful, costs of accreditation will be carried by the applicant. Details of all candidates granted exemptions must be forwarded to the Cricket Australia Education and Training Manager. Credits for prior learning study or coaching principles The Level One (Development) Course in Australian cricket is an integrated course (i.e. the General Principles and the Sport-Specific Components are integrated into the one course). Therefore prior knowledge in technical areas of, for instance, communication, planning or physical conditioning, are regarded as less important than being exposed to these areas of expertise as they apply to Australian cricket. Since there is no sport-specific component for Level One Cricket, credits for prior learning in a noncricket environment are not recognised, unless the candidate also meets the credits for sport-specific knowledge (below). Credits for sport-specific knowledge Candidates possessing evidence of having achieved the following standards may gain exemption from certain practical components of the Level One course: • Coaches and players with Australian senior representative teams with experience of two years or more • Coaches and players with State senior team with experience of four years or more Candidates may only gain credit for course elements that relate to how to perform skills/or knowledge of basic tactics. No credit will be given for topics related to how to coach the skills or tactics unless competence in that area can be demonstrated or proof has been provided (e.g. RPL above).

> Reaccreditation UPDATING
Accreditation automatically expires after two years. To reaccredit as a Cricket Australia NCAS Level One (Development) Coach, a coach must: EITHER Complete another Cricket Australia accredited course within two years OR Reaccredit by meeting the following requirements: • Complete the online reaccreditation process at http://cca.cricket.com.au entering your username and password before clicking the reaccreditation button. • Complete the statement of coaching including proof of active involvement in the coaching period • Update personal details • Attend a Cricket Coaches Australia seminar or workshop. Refer to Appendix A (page 39) for a copy of the Cricket Coaches Australia Reaccreditation form.
> Competency Statements At the completion of this course the coach will be able to: 1. plan, prepare and conduct a training session in a safe and appropriate environment using a range of specified coaching skills, and 2. plan, prepare and conduct an appropriate match day routine in a safe and appropriate environment using a range of specified coaching skills. The Coach will also be aware of, and agree to conform to expected ethical behaviour as outlined in the Cricket Australia Coach’s Code of Behaviour.
> Cricket – Inclusive and Embracing As detailed in ‘Well played – Australian cricket’s playing policies and guidelines’, Cricket Australia aims to improve opportunities available to non-traditional participants in cricket, including people with disabilities. Coaches have an important role to play in helping increase the opportunities available by including people with disabilities in games and activities. If required, games and activities can be modified to make it easier for people with disabilities to participate with their peers. Coaches can adopt the TREE principle (refer to Cricket Australia Coaching Guide CD Rom) by changing the: • Teaching/Coaching style • Rules • Equipment • Environment A coach must be able to organise, observe, analyse, communicate and provide solutions and strategies – a good coach must also be inclusive. Being an inclusive coach means offering programs and experiences that meet the individual needs of every player. Coaches will already possess many of the qualities and skills required in order to cater for people with disabilities – eg being able to adapt programs for those players with an injury or who are developing their skills and fitness at a different rate to others in the group. Inclusive coaching therefore is no more than good coaching practice. In all instances, coaches should focus on what the person can do rather on what they can’t - think ability, not disability. The Cricket Australia website provides contact details for national sports organisations for people with disabilities (www.cricket.com.au).

Practical Presentations
Practical
and Assessments
Each coach will be required: 1. To submit their SAMPLE TRAINING SESSION (SUMMARY) Form. 2. Perform a PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION using the other coaches (half of the group) as your players. This demonstration needs to present: • the Sample Training Session (above), including: - Introduction - Warm Ups - Skill Development - Cool Down/Conclusion 3. The checklist for the Practical Assessment is in both the Workbook and this booklet. Please study it carefully. The PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION is to take a maximum of 15 minutes
ASSESSMENT PROCESS OF PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT The ideal system of practical assessment would be to see each coach undertaking an individual assessment while involved in a Have A Go, CricHit, Junior Club or School Program. This should address both the “training” components of a session and the associated “match program” through an arrangement with an authorised assessor. Within an introductory program (Have a Go, CricHit or Kanga Cricket) the match program would need to be conducted according to Well Played – Australian Cricket’s Playing Policy and Guidelines. Where it is not possible or practicable to assess coaches ‘in the field’ it is suggested that a practical assessment session be incorporated as part of the Coaching Course Program. Coaches who attend Cricket Australia Level One (Development) Coaching Courses are required to submit a training outline and to demonstrate their ability to teach a nominated skill for the assessor. The assessor should be in a situation to assess the competency of the coach, but more importantly to identify coaches who would require extra assistance prior to satisfactorily completing their Level One (Development) accreditation. Candidates who have unsatisfactorily presented their practical assessment would need to be given appropriate feedback and re-assessed at a later stage, preferably by the same assessor.
LEVEL ONE (DEVELOPMENT) COACHING COURSE

COURSE PRESENTER’S MANUAL
> Assessment ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS The expectation would be that to be recognised as a Level One (Development) Coach necessitates: • satisfactorily participating in and completing the course • submitting a “Training Session Outline” • satisfactorily completing the workbooks • being viewed by the appropriate assessor and provided with constructive feedback • agreeing to abide by the principles of Well Played – Australian Crickets Playing Policy and Guidelines, and • agreeing to abide by the Cricket Australia Coach’s Code of Behaviour (Ethical Behaviour) Ethical Behaviour relates to not simply a coach’s ability to perform the tasks of coaching (skill teaching, awareness of safety issues, etc), but specifically to the manner in which a coach “behaves” and interacts with others, particularly those directly within his or her care. It arises specifically through concerns about the granting of “accreditation” to a coach whose behaviour is not appropriate or sanctioned within the scope of the accreditation (“a safe and appropriate environment”). This may refer to totally inappropriate behaviour (molestation, abuse, intimidation, etc.) or to other aspects of behaviour referred to in the Code of Behaviour. Cricket Australia considers that all coaches should be required to agree to abide by the Cricket Australia Coach’s Code of Behaviour as part of the accreditation requirements. This would hardly be a “legal” document or contract, but an indication of intent to conform to stated standards of behaviour. Failure to then conform would provide the necessary background for a Club/School to encourage the coach to adjust his/her behaviour, and establish the basis for an appropriate series of actions leading to removal and perhaps withdrawal of the coach’s accreditation, should that be necessary.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT Under Competency Based Training and Assessment all coaches must undergo a practical assessment procedure regardless of the age group that they are coaching. However, written testing, portfolios, diaries, oral questioning, simulations, projects and other forms of assessment may all play a legitimate role in confirming a coach’s accreditation. The Key Principles remain. Any assessment needs to be: • VALID (assesses what it claims to assess) • RELIABLE (consistent from learner to learner and from one context to another) • FLEXIBLE (able to meet the needs of coaches in their own environments) and • FAIR (does not disadvantage particular candidates).
