When is this looking at being implemented - this will be a small revenue hit to all clubs on junior subs and will then really rely on Grade clubs having strong relationships with their local ATCA clubs.
This could work but there will need to be a lot of communication between SACA and the other associations, which in the long run for cricket in the state would be a good thing.

Tough call for the clubs. Long term it needs to be done but is this the season to do it when financially it could be very tough for them?Arch44 wrote:the smokey wrote:The Hound wrote:Word on the street the proposal is 4th Grade to go, both 16's and 14's to go and replaced with one Under 15 and one Under 17.

Grade cricket is meant to cater for the better cricketers, not to be a safety net for the 16 year olds who can't make C Grade. That's specifically what community cricket is for
The other major is issue is that Australian cricket is strong because of triangles. Wide base, getting pointier as you go up. Survival of the fittest. Best players progress. Cream rises.
It's not obvious at 11-12 years of age who is going to be the best cricketers. By 16-17 it is becoming more obvious. That means that you need more cricketers in the younger age groups and to trim the teams down as you go higher up.
Under 17s will be the worst level of junior cricket. The better players will be up in A/B/C Grade, plus you will lose some to school cricket AND it's an age group where players have started to drift out due to other sports, study, cars, jobs, girls.
It is the exact opposite of an elite pathway
That's not to say the current structure is right, but this change would suck balls.
