Websites' I Manage: PaulGriffiths.info, SurreyDowns.Org, BridgeHouseBrecon.Co.uk, MandalinaatMahsam.Com, CricketCoach.info

 

Super Highway:

Yes - would like my own 4 5 or 6 lane "super" cricket high way in Horley, based on the one England Use at Loughborough.

 

As i think Horley is forgotten a little by those in Kennington. So I am supporting Surrey Cricket in the Community  where I am able and where I live. If I can move to a full time role in coaching cricket I would.

 

In the short term looking to attend a Club Coach assessment and course to allow me to become a tutor for Surrey Cricket for the UKCC Level 2 and 1 courses they run twice a year, outside of the UK's Cricket Summer, and..

 

Level 3

This will further my application to be considered for the UKCC Level 3 perhaps this year 2009 for the course and  the assessments. ECB UKCC Level 3 course now confirmed. for information click here

 

All designed to allow me to be an all round coach, with an ability to coach from 5 years old...

 

Fun:

To conclude, I would ask you to ensure you have fun in all your cricket, and ensure that you respect all who you meet, not just in Cricket.

 

The game of Cricket is a Great Game so keep it that way at all times on and off the field.

 

Paul
