Cricket can be unpredictable, please take a moment to review these key reminders to help ensure a safe and enjoyable match day for all.

• Helmets are required for all junior players when batting and wicketkeeping - Colts wicketkeepers must wear a helmet if within 7m of the stumps

• No player may field within 10m (15m for Stage 1) of the batter unless positioned in the slips

• Players must be taught to watch the ball at all times — whether batting, bowling, fielding, or preparing to take the field

• Coaches and Managers are responsible for ensuring the match environment is safe - If the ground or weather conditions are unsafe or not appropirate, both teams will agree to call off the game

• Match warm-ups MUST be conducted well away from spectators and vehicles

• Sunscreen and hydration are essential — a runner should be ready to hydrate batters when needed
