We play in the North Shore Junior Cricket Association (NSJCA) competition. The NSJCA Blue Book is the principal source of rules for all our games, covering formats, field restrictions, bowling limits, and match procedures for each stage.
Download the stage-specific match checklists below, or visit the NSJCA Library for the full Blue Book and other resources.
Parents are often asked to help score matches using PlayHQ's electronic scoring system. It's straightforward once you've seen how it works.
Umpires play a vital role in junior cricket. The NSJCA requires umpires to be accredited. This involves completing a short certification course through Cricket NSW.
Details on how to become a certified umpire coming soon. In the meantime, contact the club if you're interested.
All registered players receive a free training shirt and playing shirt. Additional uniform items are available through the 2Reds Club Shop.
We also need team managers and general helpers on game day. If you can pitch in, speak to your team coordinator or contact the club.
The safety of our players is the club's highest priority. All coaches, managers, and parents should be familiar with the concussion protocol.
If a player is hit on the head or shows any signs of concussion such as confusion, dizziness, headache, nausea, or balance problems, they must be immediately removed from play and must not return that day.
Remove the player from the game immediately. Do not leave them alone. Notify the player's parents/guardians if they are not present. Seek medical attention. A doctor must clear the player before they can return to training or matches.
A player who has been concussed must follow a graduated return-to-play protocol and must not return to cricket for a minimum of 14 days. Written medical clearance is required before returning to any training or match play.
The above is a summary of Cricket Australia's concussion management guidelines and is provided for general awareness only. It is not a substitute for medical advice. In an emergency, call 000. Always refer to the full protocol documents and consult a medical professional for any suspected concussion.
Children are at greater risk of heat illness than adults. All umpires, coaches, and managers are required to monitor players for signs of heat stress, especially wicketkeepers, batters, and fast bowlers who wear additional padding.
When the air temperature exceeds 36°C, the NSJCA requires the game to be cancelled.
When the temperature exceeds 34°C, umpires can declare conditions unsuitable for play and cancel or modify the game with additional and longer drinks breaks.
High humidity, intense sunlight, and still air can increase heat risk even below 34°C. Umpires should assess conditions and modify play if needed, particularly for younger age groups. Teams can agree to play shorter games with more frequent drinks breaks.
Ensure all players drink sufficient fluids before, during, and after the match. Temperature should be measured in the shade at 1.2m above the ground, as car gauges are not reliable.
Signs of heat illness include high heart rate, dizziness, headache, confusion, nausea, cramps, or collapse. A player with dry skin, confusion, and collapse may be suffering heat exhaustion and should be treated as a medical emergency.
