The West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) yesterday announced its expansion of the WIPA in the Community (WIC) cricket programme which aims to aid the development of the sport at the high school level.
The initiative, which officially began in Jamaica on January 14, involves WIPA assigning and paying certified cricket coaches to provide technical support and monitoring of the Under-14, Under-16 and Under-19 programmes in a number of schools.
The initial roll-out of the programme will cover 20 schools in Kingston, St Andrewand St Catherine. However, WIPA President and CEO Wavell Hinds said the broader objective is to increase the number of coaches and spread the coverage across the island as the programme gains traction.
According to WIPA, the coaches in the programme are certified at either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 by Cricket West Indies (CWI), or possess coaching certification from Cricket Australia.
