Girls are eligible to represent an Association (or Zone) by satisfying any of the criteria below:
· The player is enrolled in a school within the boundaries of that Association/Zone.
· The player resides within the boundaries of that Association/Zone.
· The player plays for a club within the boundaries of that Association/Zone (the club may be a Women’s Premier Cricket club including Brewer Shield or a junior club within an Association).
Exemptions for eligibility require approval from NSJCA’s Representative Sub‐Committee and will only be granted case-by-case. For U13s, requests for exemptions are to be submitted via reps@nsjca.asn.au before registration but no later than 6pm on Sunday 7 September.

Parent and Player Responsibilities
For each trial, players are to bring a 142g red leather cricket ball. They should also bring food and water. Players are not to wear representative cricket clothing to trials.
Parents are to:
· supervise triallists who are not undertaking trial activity at a particular time
· remain at a distance from trial areas, including when their children are undertaking trial activity
Commitment
Representative cricket requires commitment, particularly the Peden competition, which runs through the school holidays.
Please consider the playing dates carefully. If your daughter will be absent during any of the competition period, please advise us of this ahead of, or at the trial so we can determine whether it is possible to accommodate her availability, rather than deciding not to trial.
If your daughter will not be available during the competition period, this may affect NSJCA’s decision whether to field two teams and/or about how many players to select. Selected players who decide to take holidays during the competition without prior notification may not be selected in future years.
Compliance
Parents who register are requested to read NSJCA’s representative cricket policies, which can be found under the Representative Cricket drop down on the website at https://nsjca.asn.au
These policies, including codes of conduct, bind trialists and those selected to play. By registering, parents agree to accept selection decisions made by NSJCA’s Representative Sub-Committee. If you have queries, please email reps@nsjca.asn.au
