I think the other 50 odd clubs who don't have juniors playing in the u12 ATCA comp won't give two hoots about the costs of extra curating fees. They'll tell those 5 clubs to suck up the costs or move to a different comp.

I can not see 50-odd clubs losing access to my cricket and just accepting it when there is no benefit to them.

If SACA hold firm and withdraw ATCA's access to mycricket in all grades, Heyzer will flip very quickly, based on the pressure that will come from every club other than the 5 in question.

By the way, there are a number of clubs playing A1 turf with juniors in non-atca comps playing off shortened pitches on sundays. These guys don't have problems.

So if ATCA clubs with juniors in NEJCA are already playing on shortened pitches, surely that's the model that ATCA South should follow.
Don't Cricket Australia need Associations and Players to be in mycricket, so they can fabricate the participation rates? Why would they allow SACA to take mycricket away?

Maybe the big boys at CA should do some R & D on some sort of mats.
What would 3 hours of having a mat on them do yo the wicket. I don't know? It may be an option

Apologies if this has been covered. Someone suggested that the kids only bat at one end, which means you can put down some portable stumps and mark a popping crease with tape at the non strikers end. Is that not an acceptable solution for SACA?

Surely that's more than suitable for that age group? How much damage can a 40kg boy do!

Very little. How is it any different to playing old collegiate teams in ATCA, when the school kids play on the pitch on a Saturday morning.

Because most of the parents think little Timmy will be the next number 3 for Australia and they exoect to play on turf.

In reality most of the bowlers can't bowl on a full length pitch and the batters cant get it off the square!

That's 100% percent correct. Glandore oval is often used for college games in the morning and then premier cricket is played on it in the afternoons. Have played there a few times on a used wicket from the morning with minimal to so impact on the top of the surface!

Not sure how ATCA will do it, but PDCA will be relaxed on the spec of helmet initially - focus on just getting them worn.. in the lower grades without umpires there will be a push for opposition captains to report players - if they fail to do so and it’s discovered then they’ll be in the firing line as well.

This has been a CA initiative slowly rolled out over past few years - this is the final year of that plan. Apparently competitions relatively large that thought they’d lose plenty because of it have found that not to be the case - people who really want to play will suck it up.

To be honest though, doubt CA would give a rats arse about a mid 30’s or older bloke quitting, they don’t offer a lot to high performance pathways.. they’ll be focussed on the youth and pumping numbers down below up.
