Coach Cricket in Australia

Sport Lived can organise for you to coach cricket in schools in Australia. We run programmes to Melbourne and Brisbane between October and December, or January and April.

During your coaching programme you will coach school teams where you will organise training sessions during the week and prepare your team for matches against other schools.  Most people coach U13-U16 teams. Coaches get between 10 and 15 hours of work per week and are paid between £7 and £12 per hour. Coaching sessions are usually held between 3-6pm Monday Thursday and between 8am - 12pm on Saturday mornings.

You will live in 4 star apartments with people playing and coaching cricket and other summer sports including tennis, rowing and swimming. Most people stay in 2 bedroom apartments and all Sport Lived participants stay in the same complex.

We recommend that people interested in coaching cricket in Australia obtain an ECB Level 1 coaching qualification. More information on this qualification and centres where coaching courses are being run can be found at the ECB website: www.ecb.co.uk and also on the ECB Coaches Association website www.ecbca.play-cricket.com

You will need to obtain a First Aid qualification.  We recommend that people obtain a basic First Aid qualification from an organisation such as the St John’s Ambulance.

Please Note: If you are unable to obtain a cricket coaching or First Aid qualification prior to you departure please let us know. Some schools are happy to employ people provided they have playing and coaching experience. We can also enrol people on a coaching and First Aid course when you arrive in Australia.

Should you wish to play as well as coach cricket during your programme, we have affiliations with lots of good clubs and can arrange for you to join a club.
