MICA - Coach Education Programme

Recently, highly successful coach education sessions were held at SBCC's base in Melbourne. Tailored programs, designed to meet the needs of the Selangor Cricket Association in Malaysia and the President of the Swaziland Cricket Board, provided a great example of what is available to those interested in coach education.

Coaching presenters included Test players - Merv Hughes, Graham Yallop, and Ray Bright, and other former Australian and State players. Shaun Brown (Melbourne's leading private coach), with over 30 years experience will have a big role in the success of the program.

The academy "C.E" programme is world class with a committed team of presenters and a uniquely Australian perspective.

Pricing

As all programmes are tailored to suit each international group and taking into account specific needs, fees are determined after all requirements are presented.

The final price of the programme is strongly determined by the following factors:

• The number of days and nights the visitors will use our accommodation venue.
• How many coaches you intend to send and therefore the number of self contained villa rooms that are required.
• The number of face to face sessions required with general staff.
• The number face to face sessions required with the ex-Test players.

Please note: Food and drink are not provided at the Academy. Past groups have utilised the cooking facilities at University Mews with their association providing a daily allowance.
