Lancashire Cricket Board: LCS Courses 2013 LCS Courses 2013 ================================================================================ Dipesh Asher on 11/12/2012 09:59:00 The Lancashire Cricket Board are pleased to announce the 2013 Lancashire Coaching Scheme (LCS) courses. As the Governing Body for cricket in Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside responsible for promoting the game of cricket at all levels, the LCS gives young cricketers the opportunity to learn, improve and enhance their skills and knowledge of the game. It is available to both Primary (years 4, 5 and 6) and Secondary (years 7, 8 and 9) ages providing them with 8 weeks of coaching at foundation or advanced levels taking place at various clubs / venues across the County. The LCS is designed to bring coaching to you! At foundation level it will provide cricketers with tools to develop their basic technique whilst the advanced level will provide the opportunity for young cricketers to receive development plans and strategies using video analysis to improve their game. The LCS proved extremely popular in its pilot year last year and as a result we have 11 courses running through the winter in 2013 across the County. Andrew Hayhurst (LCB Director) said: "This programme has been extremely successful and we received a huge amount of interest during the pilot year. This stems from the massive increase in cricket participation amongst youngsters over the past few years due to the Chance to Shine programme and our own efforts. We are ever challenged by ECB to be more self sufficient and not rely on national programmes as a source of funding. We hope that this programme will prove even more popular with 38 courses available across the County providing opportunities for youngsters, in every region of Lancashire, at all levels, to access the game." Every person booked on the course will receive a FREE Lancashire Coaching Scheme training top which is to be worn at all sessions. Other merchandise is available to purchase at an extra cost which will include a hoody, cap and shorts. These can all be personalized with initials and will define the professionalism of the LCS.
