Cricket Coach Education and Development
Whilst coaching cricket around the world, the Gary Kirsten Coaching Team found an increasing number of coaches wishing to upgrade their skills and toolkits of their trade without having a platform to achieve it.
In many countries, the coach education pipeline is thwarted with red tape and barriers to entry and hence Gary and the team set out to create a platform for coaches to develop and learn their profession with a deeper understanding through an accessible online course which aims to teach coaches the basics and intricacies of the game in a holistic manner to maximize the potential of the players they are working with.
With up to date content, expert insight and an engaging interface we seek to enhance your journey as a Coach and we look forward to helping you grow yourself and the players you interact with.
Why Online Education?
Service
As with many technologies, the ability to learn and qualify yourself in many fields in the modern world, can take place digitally – hence we launched our CoachEd Cricket courses online in order to give coaches around the world accessibility to the information as well as accreditation and certification for those wanting to further their career.

The Gary Kirsten Cricket Team have developed cutting edge content for cricket coaches to engage with. Not only are you guided through the process by Gary Kirsten himself but the expert teachers are available to tutor you and respond to any questions regularly.
