Community coaches introduce people to cricket and help them stay involved. Many begin as volunteers before moving into paid delivery or development roles.
What you will do
Deliver inclusive activities, manage groups, communicate with parents and partners, and create safe positive experiences.
Where you could work
Workplaces vary by role and level, including clubs, schools, community programmes, governing bodies, academies and professional teams.
Common entry routes
Common routes include volunteering, recognised training, supervised experience and progression through increasingly demanding environments.
Working arrangements
Cricket work often includes evenings, weekends, seasonal peaks and travel. Full-time, part-time, contract and voluntary arrangements all exist.
Paid and voluntary work
Entry opportunities are often voluntary or expenses-only. Paid work becomes more common as responsibility, qualification and experience increase.
Career progression
