The Development of Excellence Committee within the LCB Executive structure has a
responsibility for overseeing the Development of Excellence programme throughout
the County.

The prime focus is on the County Age Groups boys and girls from Under 10 to
Under 19 level.
The U10 to U16 age group programmes and Emerging Players Programme (EPP) is
under the direction of Stephen Titchard (LCB Performance Manager). The U17 and
U19 boys age groups under the direction of John Stanworth (LCCC Academy
Director).
The committee is assisted in this by the Lancashire Federation who help organise
the Under 19s programme and by LSCA who assist boys age groups from Under 10 to
Under 15.
As part of the process of ensuring all potential players of the future are
identified and developed the LCCC and LCB jointly introduced the LEVELS OF
EXCELLENCE SCHEME.

Levels of Excellence Scheme
This Scheme monitors and develops young players through LEVELS 1, 2 and 3.
Level 1 develops players within the County age group development and match
programme.
Level 2 identifies players who show potential and performed well at County Age
Group Level, with a view to progress into EPP.
Level 3 players form the EPP which revolves around a player centred approach and
considers how best we can support the development of the selected young players
with elite performance potential.
As part of the monitoring process all players are expected to submit Log Sheet
records on all performances and these details are circulated to coaches and
managers on a regular basis. From these returns information about individual
performances of merit will be posted and in turn these will be used to identify
the Players of the Month throughout the coming season.
