Kieran Connell

“I AIM TO HAVE PLAYERS WALKING OUT MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CONFIDENT AFTER FUN AND ENTERTAINING PLAYER-CENTRED SESSIONS .”

The youngest member of the coaching team, by some considerable distance you might say. Kieran started in the shop helping everyone with their equipment needs and now he can be found on the other side of the centre working in the arena and net lanes as well. Kieran's coaching journey is in its early stages but like a fine wine, he is maturing nicely. He is a man of many talents, one of which is a goalkeeper so if you have a session with him you will be in safe hands!

  • ECB Level 2 Coach/Core Coach
  • ECB Support Coach
  • 3+ Years Coaching Experience

Ian Simpson

“I AM A STRONG BELIEVER IN WORKING HARD AND HAVING LOTS OF FUN WHILE TRAINING, RESULTING IN LEARNING AND DEVELOPING SKILLS.”

As a player, a club coach, or a district coach, Ian has been a part of the cricket centre for as long as we have been here in Dummer Dummer. He is an enthusiastic coach who loves coaching and helping players. We are not sure who will talk more in the session, you or Ian, but the one thing we do know is that you will have a fun learning experience.

“MY SESSIONS PROVIDE A PLAYER-LED ENVIRONMENT, WHERE THE AIM IS TO ENSURE THAT THE SKILLS DEVELOPED IN THE NETS WILL BE TRANSFERABLE TO MATCH PLAY THROUGH ENGAGING AND CHALLENGING SESSIONS, MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.”

Hugo is a Level 3 coach with ten years’ experience, and this is reflected by the dynamic learning environment he facilitates in his sessions. Hugo's passion for coaching stemmed from his own cricketing journey working with many inspirational high-quality coaches and completing his degree in Sports Coaching.

Hugo represents the England PD side and has been fortunate to tour the world playing in Dubai, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and has recently returned from a season in Melbourne, Australia as a Player/Coach.  He is excited to pass on his playing and coaching experience.
