The Gosnells Cricket Club (GCC) is seeking a new Senior Head Coach to lead the club. The role requires an ability to achieve strong development and high performance outcomes for both individuals and teams. Coaching will apply to the areas of batting, bowling, fielding, mental training, strength & conditioning and strategy.

We are looking for a leader to take the club into a new era of success on and off the field.

The Gosnells Cricket Club is in the South East of the Perth Metropolitan Area.

The club will have good young talent coming through its Junior playing groups in the coming years, as, in the 2018/2019 season, Gosnells Cricket Club became the first team in WACA Premier Cricket competition history to win both the u15’s and u17’s Grand Finals. The U17s then followed that up in Season 2019/2020 with another flag. A large portion of players from these teams have entered the senior playing group. Further to this, the Gosnells Cricket Club Colts team has played in the Preliminary Finals 4 of the last 5 seasons.
