Some of the best cricket brains in New Zealand will be in Tauranga this week to deliver a Northern Districts Cricket Art of Coaching workshop on Thursday at Tauranga Boys' College.
Legendary New Zealand player Lance Cairns and Northern Knights head coach James Pamment will lead the ND coaching team in an evening open to coaches and aspiring coaches of any age and ability.
Cairns needs no introduction to anyone remotely interested in cricket in New Zealand.
He is best remembered for his feats in clubbing six sixes against Australia over one of the longest boundaries in the world at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in February 1983.
Northern Knights coach Pamment was a big hitting batsman for Auckland in the 1990s and captained Mount Maunganui for several seasons. He cut his cricket coaching teeth with the Bay of Plenty senior men's team, taking them to three Fergus Hickey Rosebowls in the four years he was in charge.
The two ND bowling coaches, Cliff Dickeson and Graeme Aldridge, were both record-setters for Northern Districts.
