CWI Women, coaches treated to high-performance seminar

BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC):

CRICKET WEST Indies (CWI) hosted a high-performance meeting over the weekend with players taking part in the ongoing CG United Women’s Super50 competition, along with regional franchise and pathway coaches.

Thirty-nine players from across the six regional teams attended the seminar, which is part of CWI’s strategic plan to develop the women’s game.

West Indies Women’s head coach, Shane Deitz, and High-Performance Manager Dwain Gill; High-Performance Officer with responsibility for the Women’s Pathway Programme Clint St Hill; and Senior Talent Manager for Women’s Cricket Ann Browne-John were all in attendance.

The players participated in several tutorial sessions focused on enhancing individual development, working with their territorial pathway coaches, and understanding the demands of becoming an elite player at the regional and international levels.

During the seminar, Deitz outlined the importance and focus of the two-hour session with the respective stakeholders.

“It’s really important that everyone gets on the same page, understanding what the senior team is doing so we can filter the philosophies and style of play all the way through all the teams.

“This is a vital part of our strategic plan to have the coaches as part of our seminars and meetings so they can start getting together, know each other more, help each other out, and improve cricket in the Caribbean for the girls,” Deitz said.

Following the CG United Women’s Super50 tournament, a camp for Academy and Emerging players will be held in March, with six pathway coaches invited to work with Deitz.
