David Shepherd Cricket Trust and Youth Association announce funding package for colts winter training
We are delighted to announce that the David Shepherd Cricket Trust and the Devon Youth Cricket Association have agreed a package to help clubs with their winter training for colts.
Dave Bayliss, Chairman of DYCA said, “We know how important training for the colts is over the winter months. But it can be very difficult to organise it in a cost-effective way. Therefore, we have worked with David Shepherd Cricket Trust to find a way that removes some of the financial risk for clubs and which hopefully will mean that more young players across the county get the chance to train and improve their skills this winter. The David Shepherd Cricket Trust have come up with the funds to make this idea work and we are really grateful to them.”
The package on offer is really simple:
The first 10 clubs to submit 10 fully completed application forms for membership of the Trust will be awarded £600 to put towards winter training for their colt section.
There are a few small requirements to make sure that the support provided goes towards achieving the aims of the Trust:
- The funds must be used for coaching colts and helping more young people to start to play cricket (e.g. paying coaches, hiring halls, equipment for skill development). They are not to be used to purchase playing kit.
- At the end of the winter, each club that is awarded a grant needs to provide a short report to the Trust explaining what they spent the money on and the results they have achieved.
- The application forms must be fully completed including the standing order mandate
Mark Ansell, Chairman of the Trust said, “We are here to help more young people play the great game of cricket and to help the talented to become the stars of tomorrow. Supporting winter coaching for colts across the county fits brilliantly with our objectives and we are delighted to work with DYCA to make this happen.”
The programme opens today 3rd October and membership forms can be downloaded from the Trust website www.dsct111.org.uk/joining-donating/sign-up/
