Otago Country Cricket Philosophies & Job Descriptions
The OCCA is fully aligned with New Zealand Cricket’s and Otago Cricket’s strategic plans around various ‘Age & Stage’ and ‘Balance is Better’ philosophies and as such it is important that our volunteer coaches, managers and people involved understand these philosophies.
At Junior and Youth District Cricket Level, District coaches are required to have completed Police Vetting and Vulnerable Children Modules online via the NZC system. Coaches also require a minimum of an Advanced Foundation Coaching Certification for Year 8 teams down and a Development Level Coaching Certification for Year 9 and above teams e.g. the Year 9/10 and Year 11/12.
If your level of certification is below the required level you will need to work with Sam Bastin at Otago Country Cricket to upgrade your certification to the required level prior to going to any cricket festivals or tournaments with a district team.
Enthusiasm to learn, coach and manage the players through the season is obviously a big part of the job as well.
