ACTIVATORS

WHAT IS AN ACTIVATOR?

Activators are the key ingredient to making All Stars and Dynamos Cricket happen. Thanks to each of you, more kids than ever before are able to play and fall in love with cricket.

Activators must complete the initial training which includes;

  • ECB verified DBS check
  • National Programmes eLearning course
  • ECB Safeguarding for Specialised Roles: Coaches & Activators eLearning course

Existing Activators must keep their qualifications up-to-date to remain fully qualified.
