The Dragon 4 coaching course starts next Sunday, November 16, at Thornton Hall, Steynton, between 3 and 5 pm.
Subsequent Dragon 4 dates are November 23 and 30 and January 4, 11 and 18, 2004.
The total cost of the course is £18. Cheques should be made payable to the PACC and sent to the secretary, Ray Kane, at 14 St. Davids Road, Pembroke, telephone 01646 682106.
This level is achieved usually (but not essentially) after players have successfully completed the previous Dragon levels and/or had some experience of junior cricket with their clubs. A better understanding of the requirements of the game is required; batting strokes must be played correctly, bowling must be accurate and effective, and the fielding skills should show quite considerable improvement. Knowledge of the laws and ethics of the game are also emphasised.
The course tutor will be Welsh advanced coach, Bob Simons, who is the county juniors representative cricket organiser (tel. 01834 861200).
