Coaching Bursaries

Start your coaching journey today with a Coaching Bursary

Coaching is a challenging and enormously rewarding role within our game. Players need expertise, support and passion at every level of their development.

No matter whether you are putting something back into the game you love, progressing your career, helping out at your local club, or simply providing more support to your child, there is a reason for everyone to get involved in cricket coaching.

Bursaries funded by the generous support of the England and Wales Cricket Trust are intended to increase the diversity of learners taking their first step into coaching, gaining a qualification or taking the next step on their coach development journey.

If you or someone you know is thinking of joining the coaching family click here to find out which programme is right for you.

Groups that have been identified to increase the diversity of learners accessing coach development programmes are:

  • Potential coaches/coaches who are female
  • Potential coaches/coaches from ethnically diverse communities
  • Potential coaches/coaches with a disability
  • Potential coaches/coaches experiencing financial hardship.

A bursary can be awarded to learners who register on ECB Support Coach, ECB Foundation Coach or ECB Core Coach programmes between 1st February 2025 and 31st January 2026.

Anyone wanting to access coach development who is experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 100% of the national price of the programme.

Bursaries will be refunded to the applicant upon attendance at the face-to-face modules.

Anyone wanting to access female coach development, from an ethnically diverse community, has a disability who is not experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 50% of the national price of the programme.

Once an applicant receives confirmation, they will need to complete their programme registration and make full payment. Upon attendance at the face-to-face modules, they will receive a refund to redeem their bursary.
