Area Cricket 2013-14 - Important Announcement
Over the past two weeks we have been in dialogue with club representatives and Area Head Coaches regarding the new Performance Pathway proposals we recommended for 2014.
It has become clear that, while there are those who see merit in the new approach, most stakeholders are not supportive of the changes.
For this reason we feel that the new Performance Pathway structure cannot be adopted for the coming year and, in consultation with those involved in Area cricket, have made the decision to run Area cricket again in 2014 to the same template as in previous years. Ian Prior (North), Paul Williams (East), Dave Carlisle (South & Central) and Brad Klosterman (West) will continue as Area Head Coaches organising and running the programme.
However, as there are a number of supporters of some elements of the proposed structure and I believe everyone involved feels that Area cricket could be improved for the future, it has been decided that a consultation process will be carried out over the next year to review the current programme and agree modifications or enhancements for the future. Russell Haggar (Knebworth Park CC) has kindly agreed to work with the Board and lead the consultation process.
We will establish a section on the Hertfordshire Cricket website so that comments and feedback can be easily captured and also introduce a bespoke e-mail address at “hertscricket.org” which will be available soon to make it as easy as possible for clubs, coaches and parents to offer feedback.
If you have any questions at this time then please do not hesitate to contact us.
