STAGE 2 - DIVISION 1 & 2

​

​The Division 1 & 2 competitions are for graded teams which are selected by the club.

• These competitions record a score for each game, have a season ladder, and play finals.

• These competitions play T20 Tuesday night and 30 overs Saturday morning, and train once a week (on a day chosen by the coach).

• Boys should be prepared to commit to three cricket sessions a week if selected in a graded team (Tues, Sat & training day).

• Any boy who believes he will not have this availability should discuss his situation with the Stage 2 Coordinator prior to grading day.

 

The club considers Division 1 & 2 to be ‘competitive cricket’. Boys seeking to play in Division 1 & 2 will be placed into teams based on club requirements not friendship groups or coaches’ preferences.

• Boys who wish to play with friendship groups can be accommodated in Division 3 & 4 or ungraded competition.

• Coaches who wish to train specific groups of boys can also be accommodated in the Division 3 & 4 or ungraded competition.

 

To be considered for Division 1 & 2, boys must:

• Be registered before Stage 2 trials.

• Nominate their intention to participate in grading in their registration form.

• Attend grading (if a boy cannot attend grading due to illness or another commitment, they must contact the Stage 2 Coordinator prior to grading day.

• If a boy is currently playing for a representative team (U14 Comets, SSACT SERA or STRA) this must be declared on his registration form.

• Boys who are not selected for a graded team will be placed into the Div 3 & 4 competition and may nominate friends they wish to play alongside.

​

As a general guideline, boys who wish to attend Stage 2 grading should:

• Have played Stage 2 cricket in a previous season (for Marist or another club), or

• Have played Stage 1 graded cricket, or

• Have played Stage 1 ungraded cricket but performed in the top 20% of players in their competition (according to PlayCricket Statistics).

​

STAGE 2 - DIVSION 3 & 4

​

The Division 3 & 4 competitions are for developing cricketers.

• These competitions record scores for each game, have a season ladder, and play finals.

• These competitions play 30 overs Sunday morning, and train once a week (on a day chosen by the coach).

• Attending grading is optional. If a boy does not attend grading, then statistics from PlayCricket will be used to estimate skill level and placement.

• The skills difference between Division 4 and Ungraded (see below) is minimal. Players are largely interchangeable so families can effectively choose to play Ungraded on Friday evening or Division 4 on Sunday morning, and register accordingly.

 

To play Division 3 or Division 4 cricket, boys must:

• Be registered before registration close.

• In your registration form, please indicate you wish to play Sunday cricket.

• If desired, nominate 2-3 friends whom you would like to play alongside.

​

STAGE 2 - UNGRADED
The Ungraded competition is for boys who are new to cricket or wish to play in a social competition.

 

• This competition records a score for each game, but there is no season ladder nor finals.

• Ungraded teams play Friday night, and train once a week (on a day chosen by
  the coach).

• There is no need to attend grading.

• The skills difference between Division 4 and Ungraded is minimal. Players are largely interchangeable so families can effectively choose to play Ungraded on Friday evening or Division 4 Sunday morning, and register accordingly.

​

To play ungraded cricket, boys must:

• Be registered prior to closing of registration.

• In your registration form, please indicate your preference day for cricket, days may differ each season.

• If desired, nominate 2-3 friends whom you would like to play alongside.
