๐ A huge congratulations to Lauren Smithson! Wow! ๐
We are delighted to announce that last night at the ECB national awards ceremony Lauren was awarded the ECB Young Coach Of The Year for 2022!!!
For several years Lauren had been the only female member of our youth section and had been keen to increase girlsโ participation at VCC. She got involved with the 8 week All Stars programme in 2021, where a third of our attendees were girls. She gained confidence beyond her years to lead some of the sessions. Her commitment and enthusiasm obviously had an effect, as 90% of the girls who attended All Stars returned over the winter for training. The impact of her work directly led to the formation of our very first girls team (U9s).
Over the winter, the club also ran an 8-week โIntroduction to Cricketโ for girls aged 12-17years, to try and bridge the gap between the U9s girls and our ladies softball team, the Verwood Vixens. Lauren coordinated the 8-week course, planning all the sessions superbly and leading them under supervision. She was not fazed by quiet, self-conscious teenagers, managing to get the best out of all those who attended. Some were so inspired they joined VCC in the summer, either playing with the Vixens or trying age group hardball cricket.
The growth of girls membership numbers in our youth section has without doubt been influenced by Laurenโs enthusiasm and commitment to inspire the next generation of female players. The success is in the numbers - growing from 1 (herself) to 20 in 18 months.
Because of the positive impact Lauren had with the younger girls, the club asked if she would like to lead the sessions for the Verwood Vixens over the summer. She took up the challenge and delivered creatively planned, fun sessions, while maturely accounting for the variation in skill, fitness, and age of the team (many are 3 times her own age!).
Lauren is an absolute asset to VCC and we are honoured and humbled that she is a part of our great club.
