115YRS & UNDER BOYS CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP

PRESIDENT’S ON BEHALF OF SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA, I WELCOME ALL STUDENTS, TEACHERS, TEAM OFFICIALS AND PARENTS TO THE 2016 SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 15 YEARS AND UNDER BOYS CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP.

Established in 1981, School Sport Australia is responsible for the development and promotion of school sport in Australia. Each year school sport representative opportunities are provided for over 6,000 students.

State and Territory school sport bodies have accepted responsibility for implementing School Sport Australia programs, assisting in policy development and providing, through their individual state/territory networks, the maximum number of opportunities for students to participate in the broadest possible range of sporting activities. School sport is offered at district, regional, state and interstate level and each year, hundreds of thousands of Australian students are provided with participation opportunities.

Approved international programs and the Pacific School Games are features of the national school sport calendar. International competitions planned during 2017 include Football, Hockey, Netball and Water Polo, plus schools representing School Sport Australia will be invited to participate at International School Sport Federation competitions in Athletics and Tennis.

Interstate sporting competitions provide opportunities for students to participate in sport at the highest level. These Championships are an integral part of the School Sport Australia program, not only for their sporting benefits, but also for the immense educational, cultural and social benefits they provide for the participants.

I extend to all students my best wishes in their pursuit of selection for their State or Territory team and wish them an enjoyable and rewarding experience as they pursue their personal goals in this particular sporting endeavour.

Representing a State or Territory is an achievement of which you can feel very proud. I hope that all competitors, team officials, organisers and supporters associated with this Championship derive satisfaction and fulfilment from their involvement.

In closing, I wish to acknowledge and thank Queensland School Sport, Cricket Australia, the Championship officials and all the officials from the competing States and Territories for their contribution in ensuring the success of the Championship.

Graeme Jennings President


SENIOR MANAGER

2 SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA

JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY HAS HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH SCHOOL SPORT AT SOME LEVEL. IN MY CASE THE EXPERIENCE WAS SO GOOD THAT I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO ATTEND MANY SCHOOL SPORT EVENTS AT ALL LEVELS.

Queensland School Sport and the process of selection for our teams covers the entire state and just about every student gets a chance to participate in our program whether that be at the school selection trial or all the way to this School Sport Australia (SSA) event

The SSA 15 years & Under Boys Cricket Championships being held at Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast this week is the culmination of a great deal of effort by the students who are here and the various school sports systems that support them. To the students, I wish you the best of luck and hope that in the future you have every success and through your life continue to support sport in schools as your teachers and parents have supported you.

To our parents who have made the trip to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, thank you for your ongoing support of your son and of our programs. I hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Queensland.

For our students sport is about participation and it is a character building activity that will assist you to face the challenges of life. Give your best and reap the benefit of knowing that through your endeavours with the support of family you have reached the pinnacle of school sport in Australia.

I hope you all enjoy the championship and keep this program as a memento of a wonderful period of your schooling life.

Enjoy the experience!

MESSAGE

NATIONAL SECRETARYIT IS MY PLEASURE TO ONCE AGAIN WELCOME ALL PLAYERS, OFFICIALS, PARENTS AND SUPPORTERS TO BRISBANE AND THE SUNSHINE COAST FOR THE 2017 SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 15 YEARS AND UNDER CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIPS.School Sport Australia highly values the educational, social and sporting benefits of these Championships that bring together extremely talented players from around Australia to compete at the highest level of competition available within the education framework.

Congratulations to all players on their selection and I am certain that the fine traditions of school sport, team spirit and cooperation will be maintained throughout the Championship. For some participants this may be their one and only state representative experience, while for others, it may be the stepping stone to greater opportunities in cricket and sport in the future.

An event such as this requires a huge amount of preparation and hard work. I would like to thank Queensland School Sport and their cricket committee and in particular the Championship Convenors Andrew Fearon and Mark Tibbles and Queensland School Sport Officer Vicki Aley for their outstanding contribution to the organisation of this championship.

I would also like to acknowledge the terrific support that Cricket Australia continues to give to this event. It is greatly appreciated. The programs and the financial grants they provide throughout all levels of primary and secondary school cricket have been significant factors in increased participation of school aged children in our great game. The considerable contribution made by Cricket Australia has been instrumental in meeting the costs of staging this prestigious event.

I would also like to thank and acknowledge the wonderful support received from Kookaburra Australia with the supply of the match balls for the Championship.

I wish all the players the best of luck during this Championship and trust that the competition will be fair and challenging. I hope that the friendships you make this week are lasting ones and that your memories are pleasant and reflect the true meaning of sportsmanship.

I look forward to watching some excellent cricket during the week and trust that you will leave Brisbane having learned more about cricket and yourselves, and while not all will win, you have all won by participating in the event itself.

c) In a delayed or interrupted match where the overs are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total overs allowed except where the total is not divisible by five, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance e.g. in a 33 over match, three bowlers may bowl a maximum of seven overs and no other bowler more than six overs.

d) No medium pace or fast bowler (broadly defined by one or both umpires as those to whom the wicketkeeper would normally stand back) shall be permitted to bowl more than five overs in a spell.

2.1.2 If there are 6 or less teams participating the Championship will be played on a round robin basis with no finals being played. For four teams participating, teams will play two rounds and for 5 or 6 teams one round only will be played.

2.1.3 For 7 or 8 teams, the Championship shall be conducted in two Pools. Each team will play the other in the pool once, the two teams in each Pool that have obtained the highest number of points at the completion of the preliminary rounds qualify to contest the Semi-Finals.

conducted in two Pools. Each team will play the other in the pool once, the two teams in each Pool that have obtained the highest number of points at the completion of the preliminary rounds qualify to contest the Finals.

2.2 Points AllocationWin 6 / Tie 4 / No Result 2 / Loss 0

2.3 Method of Determining a Winner2.3.1 The team scoring the highest number of runs will be the winner. If play is restricted, the winner is to be the team with the higher run rate which is determined by dividing the number of runs at the last completed over by the number of completed overs. A minimum of 30 overs must be faced by the second team. If the first team is dismissed, the number of runs will be divided by 50, or the maximum number of overs allowed if less than 50. If any team does not receive 30 overs, the result shall be a draw. However, if a team is dismissed before 30 overs are bowled, this does not, of course, apply.

2.3.2 Equality of pointsIn the event of an equality of points the positions will be determined as follows:

a) Divide the total number of runs scored by a team by the total number of wickets lost by it.

b) Divide the total number of runs scored against a team by the total number of wickets taken by it

c) Divide the former (i) by the latter (ii). The team having the higher quotient shall be considered to have the better performance.

d) In the event of two teams finishing on equal points and quotients at the completion of the Pool rounds, then the winner of the game between them will decide the higher team. If still undecided, then the higher team will be the team with the higher points at the end of Round Two (2) and if still undecided, then the team with the higher quotient at the end of Round Two (2).

2.3.3 Finals and Play Off MatchesIn a 7 or 8 team competition (2.1.3) the teams in each pool are listed in order from 1st to 4th. The two highest placed teams in each to contest the semi-finals - Semi-final (1) - 1st Pool A v 2nd Pool B Semi-final (2) - 1st Pool B v 2nd Pool ANote: In the event of a tie or no result in a Semi

Final, the team finishing 1st in their pool will be deemed the winner)

b) The winners of the two semi-finals will play the final. The losing semi-finalists will play off for 3rd and 4th positions.

c) Teams placed 3rd and 4th at the completion of the pools matches will play the two teams which they have not previously met in the other pool over the final two days. Final positions for these teams will be calculated as for 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 above.

HYDRATION GUIDELINES

DRINK WATER DRINK FLUIDS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURESThe following procedures are suggested for all School Sport Australia events:

9 Host organisations should ensure that water is available at all venues at all times and if necessary, water carriers should be provided during matches. Other fluids which may be used include diluted sports drinks, diluted cordial and diluted fruit juices. Carbonated drinks should not be used.

9 The procedures to be followed for providing fluid to students during competition should be clearly identified at the pre-event meeting.

9 Sports which do not have appropriate scheduled re-hydration strategies (e.g. drinks breaks) should implement strategies for allowing fluid to be provided to participants during matches.

9 Scheduled breaks in matches should be used to actively promote the benefits of hydration to participants.

9 Where possible, team management should actively promote the use of interchange rules as a tool to prevent dehydration.

9 Participating teams may designate their own water carriers. These may be adults but cannot be the team coach.

9 No water carrier is to engage in the coaching of individuals or the team whilst on the field of play.

9 School Sport Australia member bodies should ensure that all their teams are provided with individual water bottles for every event. During matches, these should be located immediately next to the playing area to enable players to help themselves (at appropriate times) during matches.

SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA PROGRAMS PROVIDE BOTH SPORTING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. THE PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES IS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS BECOME AWARE OF THE BENEFITS OF PROPER HYDRATION PRACTICES BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

It is essential therefore that all team management at School Sport Australia events ensure that students are not placed at risk and are properly hydrated before participating in physical activity.

KEY MESSAGES The following messages should be used to help convey the benefits of proper hydration.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

RICKY PONTING CUPRicky Ponting is one of the most decorated players to ever don the Baggy Green. Boasting more records than any other player in Australian history, Ponting has scored the most Test and ODI runs for his country, has had the most wins as a player, a captain and has taken the most catches by a non-wicket-keeper. With 13,378 runs in his 168 Tests, he is one of the most prolific batsman in the world.

As a captain, Ponting led the Australian side to back to back World Cup wins in the ODI format; winning a record 34 matches in a row. His own form during that time was monumental, especially his 140* against India in the Final against India in 2003.

The former captain has had to go through periods of uncertainty, but has always come through the other side stronger than before. At first, he lost the ability to play his beloved pull shot. Now it’s working better than ever. Then, against tight swing bowling, he was falling across the crease, exposing himself to LBW decisions. Now, he is driving the ball with perfection.

Any doubts over his form were quashed in the 2011/12 series at home against India. Ponting averaged 108 for the series, scoring 221 in Adelaide, as well as 134 in Sydney.

Ponting is one of the greatest fielders of all time. He started his career at point, running out batsmen at will. He moved into the slip cordon, and has taken some ‘out of this world’ screamers.

Ricky’s desire to give back to cricket has seen him take up the opportunity to support School Sport Australia cricket programs. Naming the winner’s trophy after him recognises this contribution.

YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP PACE BOWLER WELFARE

MANAGEMENT APPROACH• 10 Week Plan workloads are developed

for pace bowlers in each squad so that 4 week average loads are 120-150 before championships so players are well prepared, including standby players.

• Avoid spikes greater than 50%. The Athlete Management System (AMS) provides a warning to State Talent Managers (STM’s) coaches, physiotherapists and strength and conditioning coaches at 50%.

• Ideally players should be able to be provided a period of rest after the championships – case managed approach in consultation with State Coaches, Grade clubs, and schools for the targeted pace bowlers.

• All balls bowled are recorded throughout the pre-season and season (education provided to players) to allow for monitoring and plan adaptation.

• Regular review of plan and adapt throughout the season.

• AMS allows for wellness information to be recorded and track how players are coping with the planned loads injury recording.

• All injuries to be recorded on AMS for the season by State Physiotherapists for season. This is a critical step in gaining more knowledge at the Championships and age level.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE WE MANAGE THE WELFARE OF YOUNG FAST BOWLERS, THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF BONE STRESS RELATED INJURIES.

1. AGE

• Growing bones are more susceptible to injury

• Spinal bones don’t fully mature until the mid 20’s

2. WORKLOAD

• Understand previous loads

• Plan & Monitor for each individual

• Avoid large load spikes

3. TECHNIQUE

Counter-rotation Greater than 35º is a risk

35º

PACE BOWLERS TO BE LIMITED TOU19 – 360 Balls (60) overs Given they are only One Day Matches this will mean they could miss 2 x Games if they bowl 10 overs.

U17 – 312 Balls (52) overs Given they are only One Day Matches this will mean they could miss 3 x Games if they bowl 10 overs.

15&U Recommendation 30 overs limit to any medium and pace bowlers
