PitchVision and Cricket South Africa have teamed up to find the best coaches in the country, and give them the recognition they deserve.

The PitchVision Coach of the Year Award is the pinnacle of coaching achievement, providing an incredible incentive to coaches to develop excellent teams and individuals, from every point on the cricket compass. The award is open to grass-roots coaches as well as those at Franchise and semi-professional level, making it an inclusive award that rewards excellence in every cricket environment.

Coaches are assessed by a measurement system suitable to their teams, and everyone gets a performance review to develop the coaches skills from year-to-year. This makes it a long term programme that is building a legacy of excellent coaches and players long into the future.

It was quickly clear that the Coach of the Year Award was a programme that PitchVision had to partner. PitchVision exists to help coaches and players at every level of the game develop effectively. With coaching tools like PV/ONE and PV/CLUB alongside a comprehensive series of online coaching videos from experts like JP Duminy, Nathan Bracken and Kevin Pietersen, everything is available to the budding coach of the year.

So, from now on you are going to see a lot more about Coach of the Year, and how our ambitious coaches are using PitchVision to battle their way into nomination and eventual crowning.
