ECB ACO SCORERS COURSES

The ECB ACO provides tuition in the art of scoring. The education programme is split into three main levels Club scorer level 1, Recreational scorer level 2 and Recreational scorer level 3. There are two courses before Club scorer level 1, neither of which requires ECB ACO membership and there are three continuous development workshops in computerised scoring, Duckworth Lewis calculations and linear scoring. The latter three do require ACO membership.

The following courses are available.

 Scorer’s introductory course. This is a two hour course covering the basics of how to score and suitable for complete beginners, players, parents of junior players schools etc. Certifcates of attendance will be issued.

1.)  8-10 hour course based in a classroom.     2.)  E-learning course.     3.)  Certificates of attendance will be issued.

Club scorer level 1.  If candidates wish to achieve this qualification then they must be a member of the ACO.   It is not a delivered course but is based on a personal discussion with the candidate, observation of them scoring and a look at their scorebook, in which there must be evidence of scoring at least 10 matches.

Recreational Scorer level 2.  This course focuses on preparation and planning and involves a one day classroom discussion and workshop activities. To attend you must have club scorer level1, RSL1 or RSL1A or be an experienced scorer with CSO recommendation. To gain this qualification you will be assessed as well as complete a portfolio.

Workshops available for professional development.

    Linear scoring:              Half day practical workshop. No assessment taken.

Duckworth Lewis.       Half day workshop. No assessment undertaken.

                                                        Total cricket scorer.      One day practical workshop.

Recreational Scorer level 3.   This course aims to bridge the gap between recreational and professional scoring and consists of one day of classroom discussion and workshop activities. Candidates must be level 2 qualified and hold a linear and DSL certificate of attendance. No assessment is undertaken in the classroom, however they will be assessed at a two day match.

For further information about any of these courses then please contact.
