Introduction

Berkhamsted Cricket Club (BCC) is seeking a new coaching team for the 2025 season. The club has previously employed a Head Coach who is emigrating and a specialist coach dealing with men and women playing groups respectively. We have an ambition to secure (1) a new Head Coach and (2) two other coaches to work alongside the new Head Coach to continue the progress made in recent years in improving both senior and junior playing standards. All coaches would ideally be qualified to participate in the league formats for both the men and women however this is not a pre-requisite. We see all roles being for more than one season allowing medium-term development.

BCC currently has approx. 80 senior members and 420 junior members including 105 girls. We also run All Stars with 60 children. For more information, please visit www.berkhamstedcc.com

In the 2024 season, the club enjoyed three league promotions and a number of the junior teams were county champions. The first XI are now in Division 1 of the Herts Saracens League and have aspirations to become a Premier League team.

We are looking to contract coaching staff with a minimum of Level 2 (Core Coach) qualification with ambition to progress. Ideally, the Head Coach will already be qualified to Level 3 standard.

All coaching qualifications, residency and safeguarding certification will be required along with references from previous clubs/roles.
