Alexia Walker earns ECB Level 4 Certificate

Sussex CCC is delighted to announce that Alexia Walker, Sussex women's captain and junior coach, has passed her ECB Level 4 Coaching Certificate.

Alexia has spent the last two and a half years working towards her level 4 and is only the third woman to achieve this. She is the only one actively coaching cricket at the moment. The ECB believe that Alexia is the youngest candidate, male or female, to gain the award.

Alexia will be working hard with all the Sussex girls throughout the winter programme alongside Charlotte Burton. She will also be taking up the post of Director of Cricket at Brighton College in January 2010.

Alexia Walker said: “The level 4 process was challenging and thoroughly enjoyable. I am thankful to the ECB, Loughborough University, my mentor Graham Dilley and Nicky Shaw for their continued support of my development as a coach. I am very proud of this achievement and I am looking forward to the next chapter in my coaching career.”
