Trader - By my reckoning the Xmas Break is 2 weekends just like last season. We play on Sat 21/12 - no games 28/12 and 4/1 - then resume on Sat 11/1. But I assume the LO grades will get the usual 3 weeks off and not resume until 18/1.

Don't think it can be made compulsory (strongly advised), but if you don't and you get hit you wont be covered by insurance. Also has to be British standard 7928:2013 helmets.

Would be a nice idea for some form of funding for clubs to put towards getting a couple of helmets for each team.

SACA have already said they'll provide funding to clubs.. **** keep up you mob!
As for a $300 lid, you can pick up a Masuri helmet for around $80

What are your thoughts on playing on a Saturday after a Friday night u12's game with scuff marks just short of the danger area?
I have bigger issues about the kids development of this practice of shortening the wicketTony Clifton wrote:tigerpie wrote:Atca threatened with disaffiliation over the pitch shortening fiasco for u12's.

Had a game in the lower grades vs Pt districts last year. Scuffed centre marks on a good length was not ideal. Both teams agreed to bowl our fastest bowlers from the end that would be unaffected.

We had a trial and kids with spikes made a nice furrow marking centre.
I'm not the only one thinking its unworkable at community level.
