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
Players selected need to be available to play substantially all competition matches and practice matches, so parents should check likely competition dates before deciding whether to trial.
Players also need to be available to attend training as determined by the team coach. Typically, teams practice midweek during the representative season. Representative training takes precedence over club training. Parent and Player Responsibilities
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
