Skills Development Programme for Junior County Players

County Boys and Girls see a return of the LCB Skills Development Programme which is back for 2012.

As an addition to our existing programmes the LCB Performance department is continuing the Skills Development Programme to complement the County Development squad sessions.

The programme will commence during October and run through to December 2012. The boys programme will target County players in the U13s – U15s age ranges. Players will attend sessions in their specific skill set of batting, pace bowling, spin bowling and wicket keeping. Fielding skills will be covered in the County Squad Development sessions. Stephen Titchard the LCB Performance Manager will lead the programme with a team of specialist coaches.

Skills Development Programme for girls will continue from the U13s – U19s age ranges. Players will be selected from the County age group programme that have the potential to progress within our system.
