What do our coaches have to say about coach connect?
Thank you. Pitched perfectly and very inclusive, not intimidating.
First session I’ve been to about coaching women, rather than just dumbing down coaching.
Excellent session – great takeaway for club cricket
Nicky Clarke / Workforce Manager
Nicky joined GCF from Somerset Cricket Foundation, where she spent 4.5 years gaining valuable experience supporting clubs and leagues, in cricket operations, and with volunteer workforce development. At GCF, Nicky is responsible for supporting the development of the people who make recreational cricket happen, covering everything from grass to game!
Nicky has spent many years supporting the WEPL Board, providing expertise in using Play-Cricket, player registration, and managed migration to clubs across the West of England. She is also a qualified coach, umpire, and scorer who has been lucky enough to score at the county ground in Taunton on a few occasions, including England Lions v South Africa in 2022.
Nicky’s home club is Weston-super-Mare, where she is a long-standing volunteer and has been integral in rebuilding the women’s and girls’ section following Covid. On the rare occasions she’s not doing something cricket related, she has two boys who prefer the social side of cricket to the playing side, she likes to read, run (slowly), and is a half-marathon survivor.
