Sky Sports Extends Sponsorship of ECB Coach Programme

Thirty three thousand  coaches have graduated from the Sky Sports ECB Coach Education Programme since the scheme was launched four years ago. The latest figures, which include 10,000 coaches who qualified in the last year alone, were revealed as ECB announced that Sky Sports will continue its sponsorship of the programme for a further three years.
Former England coach and Sky Sports commentator David Lloyd said: “This is a fantastic programme and I’m not surprised it’s delivering such impressive results.  There are teaching modules to suit all ages and abilities and the quality of training gets better and better.  Everyone at Sky Sports is proud of the association and I’m pleased this will continue for another three years.”    
The Sky Sports ECB Coach Education Programme aims to attract and train coaches at all levels of grassroots cricket.
