Coach Connects is a Cricket Ireland initiative for cricket coaches across the island of Ireland. Coaches are the front-facing participation drivers in our community and are a huge part of cricket development across the island.
The aim of the Coach Connects programme is to refresh, upskill and support coaches before they begin or return to on-field activities with themes on Inclusivity, Planning, and Coaching environments.
