Mavericks Cricket is hosting a series of ABSAT coaching courses, priced at just £99 + VAT.  Here's what you'll learn on the course:

• How to help any bowler increase speed and accuracy
• What to look for in a bowling action to help avoid injury
• How to get the best out of a bowler
• Bowling drills that accelerate learning
• The benefits of advanced biomechanics without getting technical
• How to help bowlers ‘jump start’ their muscle memory and improve
• How to use gadgets, props and external support
• What works and what doesn’t
• How to coach everyone without cloning
• The advanced biomechanics ‘framework of success’
• The key indicator points (KIP’s) of the action
• How to maintain a positive coaching manner
• Implementing training protocols that practically guarantee success
…plus much, much more.

When you have completed and passed the ABSAT introduction course, you’ll be able to work with bowlers in complete confidence. You’ll also find that due to the present relatively small amount of qualified ABSAT coaches, you’ll be sought after in your area.

The introduction ABSAT course is an intensive but fun, interactive session, which also features a written paper to be completed on the same day. A Certificate of Attendance will be provided and for those satisfying the coaching criteria will receive a PASS or MERIT accreditation from Mavericks Cricket and be entitled to use the ‘ABSAT Coach’ title.

If you would like to discuss a private ABSAT coaching Course for your club or school, we require a minimum of 4 attendees to run a course at your venue/convenience.  Simply contact info@maverickscricket.com or call 0870 787 4926 to discuss and review dates.

Please note that ABSAT coaching is an independent body and this unique course is not part of the ECB coaching award scheme. Should you wish to qualify as an ECB coach first you can contact your local County Board

The ABSAT courses are open to all current ECB Levels of coach. The ABSAT coaching methodology is designed to work alongside existing ECB coaching practices. It is an add-on to your present coaching skill set and helps you to expand your coaching expertise and best-practice to accelerate learning.

Here is some feedback from the previous courses:

Hi Ian, Just thought that I would drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the course on Sunday in Nottingham. I was never coached as a youngster and over the years have developed many bad habits with resulting injuries, with the last five years being particularly hard on my body. In the space of 3 hours you have simplified the bowling action and enabled me to understand the processes involved. In the past I have tried so called "corrective" drills but have always reverted back to my bad habits or mixed action. I now have the confidence and understanding to work hard on the drills that you brilliantly demonstrated and at the age of 43 hope to gain that extra pace, accuracy, edge and longevity to my game. In my other role as a cricket coach I now have the "tools" to enable me to alter the actions and problems I previously encountered and was unable to solve.Many thanks for a brilliant session - Craig Tennant

Brilliant course last Sunday in Oxford! I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much about isolating different parts of the bowling action. I ran a session last night for 6 lads at my local club and was amazed at how quickly their actions developed over the course of 90 minutes. The lad’s confidence increased so much and after only 1 session, I can see the value of Ian’s techniques - Steve Dent

Hi Ian,
Felt it only right to thank you for the course at the University of Hatfield in Hertfordshire. I thought the course was excellent and a real eye opener. Four hours flew by and the only criticism I have was that it left me wanting to learn more. We talked of nothing else all the way back to Swansea. I will be taking up your offer for the support package in the next few days and look forward to the release of the book.
Well worth the journey from South Wales!!
Yours in sport - Pete Williams

Ian,
Thank you so much for last Saturday (Woodhouse Grove School, Bradford). It was a super day and I learnt loads. We spent this evening’s U10s winter nets session on fast bowling and the actions improved 10 fold! Kind Regards - Andrew Whettam

Ian,
I would just like to confirm my appreciation to attending today's course in Chippenham. Now I have had time to reflect on the course and instruction, it was a real insight and really well structured in an understandable and logical sequence, rather than the scientific jargon usually linked with Biomechanics. Many thanks for the great course and I hope if you arrange courses for this area again, I would love to be involved as a refresher or assisting with admin/DEMO's as today has rekindled my bowling desire and coaching expierence again. - Pat Legge

Dear Ian,
With regard to the ABSAT course, I would just like to say what a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience I had, breaking the bowling process down into the ten simple, yet crucial, key points gave me a great understanding of how the bowling action works biomechanically. My understanding was enhanced, also, by the kinaesthetic involvement rather than just listening. I can strongly recommend the ABSAT course to all, players & coaches alike. - Matt walton

Hi Ian,
Just to say thankyou for Sunday's course, quite the most interesting and challenging course in living memory. The content was exceptional, delivery pitched perfectly and tiring mentally on the day because of the course expectations, but worthwhile armed with the handouts and initial knowledge of the bowling revolution...
Thank you once again, Ian Wright

Thanks Ian for yesterday... I learned so much - although different from the (Conventional/ECB) approach I am used to it is most definitely complimentary, refreshing and just makes so much sense!
On the drive home I re-assessed my coaching of fast bowling and kept thinking through how to use these principles in relation to some of the problems I have with players I coach (male & female) and how they will benefit from them.
Very Exciting... Thanks...and thanks for the book too.
Cheers - Steve Pearce
