The Japan Cricket Association are keen to create more opportunities for coaches in Japan to develop their skills so that the game can continue to grow throughout the country.

As the partnership with Cricket Victoria has now extended into high performance we are keen to use these coaches not just to improve our players, but also our coaches.

In 2017 alongside a Level One Coaching Course to be run in the summer, we will also be inviting coaches to assist and learn at our National Team training camps by way of providing practical experience.

During August we will also provide the opportunity for coaches to attend the junior camps that are running in Sano. These will be free to anyone with a Level 1 Coaching Certificate or above.

We ask that anyone interested in developing their coaching fills out the following form before April 21st. You will be contacted at a later date to inform you of what day is best for you to attend.
