Development planning is vital for any cricket club, being able to have a clear vision for the future with achievable goals and objectives specific for the club itself. A good development plan can look at the club as a whole, looking at all the different areas which help a club to function. Breaking a plan down into; Players, Facilities, and Workforce provides a specific area to bullet point some key actions against and also find who is responsible for them over a 12month period,  2 year period and 5 year period. These time increments provide clear milestones for where the club would like to be, and a method of measuring progress within each.

 

Below are four templetes from the ECB as a starting point for you to start drawing up your clubs plan (Download them today). Rather than completing these on your own involve your whole execuetive commitee and other club members to help provide a shared vision for the future for  the club. If you would like some further support with your clubs development plan email matt.cooke@devoncricket.co.uk, Matt will be able to provide a hands on service and work with the club to pull together your plan.
