Lindfield Cricket
FAQ
Here's some questions we have been frequently asked..
A. The best teams can be those who have a mix of players from different schools, who share a passion for cricket and it broadens their friend and your parent network.
Q. I am unsure about registering my player without having any friends in the age group, or not knowing someone from the other school.
A. It is not recommended that players play in age groups above their school year or age eligibility. Playing formats, game duration, pitch length, field size, ball weight and dismissal rules vary between age groups and are designed by Cricket Australia to maximise player involvement and enjoyment. LDCC prefers that players play in their correct age group - it is usually best for the player!
If you have exceptional circumstances please get in touch with the Lindfield club registrar to discuss what is best for your child - juniors@ldcc.com.au
The club may not allow players to play outside their age group where we may need to balance the numbers of players and team numbers in age groups.
Requests for players to play 2 or more age groups above their normal age group will require dispensation from the NSJCA.
Please read the following information on age eligibility first: Lindfield Junior Cricket - Age Eligibility
Q. What rules apply if I want my child to play up an age group?
A. Have a look at the different age group competitions that may be suitable for your child depending upon which year they are in: Lindfield Junior Cricket - Private School Players
Q. Can my child play club cricket as well as private school sport?
A. For keen cricketers you may register to play in multiple teams for the season eg, U12 T20 Saturday and U13 30 Overs Sunday.
Girls can play in a Mixed comp as well as a Girls only comp.
There is an additional fee of $140 to have a confirmed place in a second team.
Register for your primary team in PlayHQ and email juniors@ldcc.com.au with details around the second team. Payment will requested by invoice throughout the season after teams have been confirmed.
No additional fee is payable if you’re happy to fill in for any team that requires an extra player when they are short on players.
Q. My player wishes to play in 2 or more teams each weekend, to guarantee a position in both teams how do I register and is there an additional cost?
A. Yes, with PlayHQ we are simply catching your registration for the appropriate age / competition. We perform all the magic behind the scenes. If you'd like to submit an entire team let Larissa know ASAP: juniors@ldcc.com.au
Q. After I register can I change my age group or game format?
A. As long as a player has completed a season of Skills Clinic then this is OK with a Year 1 minimum, but you might be asked to play 2 seasons in the U8 or U9 comp. We also acknowledge that there will be players who are considered young for their year or just miss the 31st August age group cut off. We get it that kids wish to play with their friends in the same year from school.
