Tony Crompton
We are pleased to announce that the second EASB ‘Development Coach Award’ course took place in Macclesfield in March 2013. The course is aimed at those who have a genuine passion for, and understanding of, the game and are motivated to help develop the sport by passing on their enthusiasm and know how.
Tony said: The course had a rigorous pass criterion and carries the credibility of an internationally recognised coaching qualification with IBSF Approval. The meaningful content included:

Paul continues:
Our forward-thinking league decided to subsidise up to three places on this course, sadly only two were taken up but me and Tony have agreed with the league that the course must be a springboard for breathing new life into our league. Not only do we all strive to improve our personal games but we need to retain and recruit players to ultimately ensure the sustainability of our league.
We have therefore split the league in two for coaching purposes - I will be responsible for the Mere, Tatton, Brook Street and Shaw Heath clubs while Tony will service the Mobberley, Morley, Royal London, Wilmslow Cons and Wilmslow RBL clubs. We are committed to providing 1 nights coaching per month free of charge to all members of those clubs - be they league players or not.
We intend to alternate our availability fortnightly to ensure coverage. Look out for the dates on this website and come along and watch or join in. You are guaranteed to learn something - we certainly did - and our enjoyment of this great game has improved accordingly.
