WICB open fast bowling workshop to all Caribbean coaches

St John’s, Antigua – Coaches across the Caribbean with an interest in specializing in fast bowling will have an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the discipline. The West Indies Cricket Board is hosting a Fast Bowling Coaches Workshop at the Sagicor High Performance Center in Barbados on September 8th and 9th.

World renowned Biomechanist Dr Paul Hurrion, will join West Indies Head Coach Ottis Gibson and Sagicor HPC Bowling Coach and West Indies Under 19 Head Coach Roddy Estwick in delivering the two day workshop along with other specialists.

The workshop will address several areas critical to the fast bowling discipline including Biomechanical Principles, Assessing Actions, Video Analysis, Understanding Swing and Fitness for Bowling among several other areas.

WICB is funding the full participation of two coaches from each Territorial Board. However given the interest from other coaches the WICB has decided to also open the workshop to a select number of additional coaches.

Selected coaches will be responsible for their travel and accommodation. There will be no participation charge for the workshop.

The workshop will take place on September 8th and 9th and applications are open to coaches from across the Caribbean.

This Fast Bowling Coaches Workshop follows workshops for Territorial Development Officers and Youth Coaches, Umpires and Match Referees and development workshops for Under 15 and Under 19 players in the WICB Regional Under 15 and Under 19 Tournaments.
