The Japan Cricket Association are today opening applications for the position of High Performance Manager to join our staff full time at the Head Office in Sano City, Tochigi.

The primary role of the High-Performance Manager is to develop National Teams and players that inspire the next generation of players and fans.
The focus of the role is to develop role model players as much as high performing ones. The role is also required to generate income, utilising the high-performance resources, to ensure that the high-performance programs can be sustained and further developed.

1. Develop, Run, and Monitor High Performance Programs for the Japanese National Squads (Men, Women & Academy/Under 19), while being Head Coach for one of the squads.
2. Providing Fee-For-Service coaching programs within the community to ensure there are funds coming into the JCA via expert delivery.
3. Develop coaches within Japan, especially Japanese speakers.
4. Start new programs and initiatives such as a “Talent Transfer Player Program” where people from other sports are targeted to take up cricket and nurtured into a new environment.
