Our main objective in playing games is in development and learning. Children will naturally play with a winning attitude; however, we want to ensure they play to win with an understanding, and within a supportive, encouraging and learning environment. Winning is naturally important to the players but it is not the be all and end all.
We value effort, performance and sportspersonship over winning.

OUR APPROACH TO SELECTION

We will try to select an appropriately competitive and balanced team where possible, but we will also balance that with giving boys and girls throughout the age group match exposure.

Your Age Group Manager (AGM) is working hard to ensure that everyone - including the opposition - gets a good game and is tested appropriately. We want as many players as possible to get a good amount of match exposure at the right level. Please trust and help your AGM to manage this process.
There are lots of different types of matches - League matches, Cup matches and Friendlies. Some matches are in a Development League, which will feature a larger number of less experienced players. There are also friendlies, where the standard will vary.
Your AGM will try to ensure that less able players are not exposed at an inappropriate level. However, he will attempt to push your child's learning by getting them to play at a level that challenges them.

Please respect the AGM, because it is not an easy job and they are volunteers who are doing their best by the children playing in the team. If you have an issue, please speak to them respectfully so you can work together to come to a resolution which benefits the cricket development of your child.
