ECB Guidelines for Junior Players Print E-mail

The ECB have issued guidelines for junior players in open age cricket.

 

1.         The guidelines will allow junior players in Year 8 at school ( Under 13 at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season ) to play in open age cricket providing ‘Explicit Written Consent’ to play in open age cricket has been obtained prior to play.

N.B. The existing Player Profile dated November 2008 contained in ‘Safe Hands’ is not sufficient to cover the ‘Explicit Written Consent’ element as it does not refer specifically to open age cricket. This requirement recognises the need for parents or guardians to be aware of the significance of allowing their young child to participate in open age cricket rather than purely junior cricket.

2.         Any player in Year 7 or below ( Under 12 at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season ) cannot play in open age cricket with or without explicit written consent.

Newsflash

The Suffolk Cricket Board and ECB takes the Welfare of young persons very seriously hence we have
endorsed the policy that all clubs must have a Club Welfare Officer.

I know all the leagues within the county have also adopted this.

The named individual must have attended the Safe Hands Workshop for Club Welfare Officers or
the old Time to Listen course  within the last 3 years.

A course is being held at King Edward VI School in Bury St Edmunds on Wednesday 28th March 2012 from 6pm -9pm
for more information contact Suffolk Cricket Board.

We also respectfully ask that clubs let us know of any changes regarding their Club Welfare Officers
and also ensure that the post holder has a current CRB. 

If a club does not comply and have a qualified up to date Club Welfare Officer,
then it could effect their affiliation to the ECB/ County Board and make them ineligible to partake in
league cricket within Suffolk.
