President’s Welcome Dear Club Patron, Life Members, Committee Members, Members, Parents & Supporters,
There is always excitement about a new cricket season, none more than this season 2018/19 at the Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club.
I’d like to take this moment to thank outgoing President/Chairman Norm Fawcett for his tireless work over the past 5 years as our leader and the past 17 years on committees and coaching! Good luck Normy!
The club first commenced as Wanneroo DCC on the 12th April 1976 and were accepted in the WACA Premier competition in 1979.
A first grade side was entered into the WACA Premier competition in 1983. Since then we have progressed into the great club we are today, having sides in all four senior grades along with a Colts squad and 17s, 15s, 14s and 13s in the junior WACA Premier competition as well as a female U17’s side in the Female Premier Cricket Youth League for the 2017/18 season.
Our home ground is Kingsway Sports Ground where we have two outstanding adjoining turf grounds, which in the winter of 2018, the wicket blocks on both grounds were completely re-laid. The club also has wonderful turf training facilities, which will also get re-laid and upgraded at the end of the 2018/19 season. We are also one of the only WACA Premier Clubs to have its own indoor facility, The Shed, which has four carpeted lanes along with two bowling machines. Our modern well equipped club rooms has a fully licensed bar with a spacious entertainment area.
We pride ourselves on all of our achievements over the years, which include a solitary Bank West One Day Premiership in 2000/01 defeating Willetton at the WACA. We also won our first and only Club Championship so far in 2011/12, which coincided with our first two day pennant premiership in 2011/12 defeating Subiaco/Floreat at the WACA. There was also a second two day premiership awaiting us in season 2013/14 defeating Claremont/Nedlands at the WACA.
In an amazing turn of events, after some fruitless years, 2017/18 would be another Premiership year for the Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club as our first grade took out their first ever 20/20 Premiership, defeating Claremont/Nedlands in pennant final then the Country XI at the WACA Ground to be crowned Statewide 20/20 Champions. In an amazing fact, Club Director of Coaching and Life Member, Joel Charles played in the first three premierships as a player and coached the fourth, a wonderful effort.
A number of our players progressing through to State and National representation, including Marcus North, Damien Martyn, Michael & David Hussey, Mitchell Johnson and current first grade player

Travis Birt. There has also been a plethora of Roo’s who have represented WA at junior and senior level.
We have a specialised coaching and administration structure in place to ensure we are continuing to strive for excellence both on and off the ground. This handbook will provide you with all the information to enable you to become the best you can be, both as a player and as a club member. Please take time to read our Culture, Codes of Behaviour and Policies we have put in place, as I am sure you will gain so much from them and in doing so will gain much enjoyment being a part of our wonderful club.
Let’s have a successful year on and off the field in 2018/19!
Get on the Roo Train!

Club Culture
Respect To be part of our club we expect a commitment to respect not only the club but all members, both junior and senior, players, parents, families ,officials, coaches umpires, visitors, ours and other clubs facilities and above all else…ourselves.
Each and every one of us is responsible for showing and reinforcing respect throughout our club and the community.
We set the examples of honesty, integrity and the willingness to achieve for all to benefit.
Leadership We are leaders in Western Australian cricket.
Each and every one of us can be a leader in their own way. We all set the standard in areas of communication, cooperation and motivation.
We show initiative on and off the field. We lead by example…be the one to step up first, show support and encouragement to your fellow club members both junior and senior and above all make yourself approachable to all….a good leader will seek to create an environment where all can achieve to their highest ability.
Discipline We understand that cricket is as much a mental game as it is a physical game. We believe that maintaining discipline in all aspects of our preparation for games and generally within the club enhances our ability to demonstrate this skill on playing days. In the case of non-playing members we understand that maintaining discipline builds club spirit and provides a better basis for decision making.
Passion We love cricket, we love our club, and we love to win!
We never give up no matter the odds.
The sweetest moment of all is when we get to sing our song!

We are the mighty Roos, We are the [boys|girls] from Wanneroo! We're the team that never lets you down, We're the mighty Roos from Kingsway ground!

Player Responsibilities
Training Attendance and a commitment to train as you wish to play is critical in increasing your chances to improve your game. Attendance at training is one of the selection criteria, and pre-season training is a prerequisite for selection in round 1. If you cannot make a training session, you must advise the coach.
Be prepared and professional. Be on time, wearing WDCC appropriate training gear for the session.
Strive to get the best from every training session and look to do that little extra outside of normal training times.
Set your standards high and encourage team mates to do the same. Support the coaching staff by full commitment to all drills, offer suggestions for improvement rather than complaints.
Go out of your way to show support for juniors or new members who attend the training sessions and give encouragement to enhance a feeling of belonging, and most importantly enjoy the sessions.
Selection Be available. WDCC prides itself on the professionalism and commitment of its players, and as such expects them to prioritise their team and their club during the season. Players are encouraged to manage their personal life throughout the season proper.
If you cannot be available for selection you are expected to inform your coach and captain well in advance.
Selection nights are compulsory for all players and you are expected to inform your captain and coach if you are unable to attend in advance.
Being selected to play in any grade for our club is a privilege not a right and you must respect the selection panel’s decision and acknowledge that the opportunity to improve and be promoted is always the objective at any level of the game.
Fitness issues need to be communicated to captains and coaches…you must be honest and up front if you are not fully fit to be selected. It is unfair for those next in line for selection if you deny them the chance to play…the club and your team mates always come first.
Match Day We are professional in our approach and ensure we give ourselves the best preparation for match day we can. A half-hearted approach to this not only effects personal performance but effects team performance.

CRICKET CLUB INC. www.wanneroodcc.com.au
Captains will advise the time players are expected to be present. Players are expected to be on time and organised, wearing appropriate WDCC clothing.
Be mentally and physically prepared and focused on the job at hand. Be honest and up front with team mates and selectors if you are not prepared 100%.
A well-disciplined fitness regime and a healthy nutritional diet will greatly enhance your chances of success as an individual which in turn will enhance team success.
Don’t be the one to let your team mates down and be strong enough to accept constructive criticism if you do.
Support your Captain and team-mates regardless of individual results. Respect, acknowledge and thank the coaches, volunteers and supporters that are helping you and your team play to your best.
Fulfil team duties as directed, and be proactive in completing the “one percenters”.
Clubrooms and Facilities Respect and have pride in your Clubrooms and facilities.
Make every effort to attend, promote and support WDCC functions. Give thanks to those outside of the playing group that support our love for the club including Club sponsors.
Player Commitment As a WDCC player I will endeavour to uphold our club culture, abide by the following Policies & Documents, and encourage others to do the same:
Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club Rules; Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club Culture; Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club Player Responsibilities; Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club Code of Behaviour; Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club Social Media Policy; WACA Premier League Code of Conduct; WACA Premier League Anti-Bullying Policy.

Pavilion and Club Room Code of Behaviour The Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club Inc pledges itself to Responsible Server Practices and to avoid disturbing the amenity of the local area by respecting the right of neighbours and by encouraging customers to do the same.
Any member of the public that is not a member, bone fide visitor or a guest of a member of the club, will not be allowed to be served at the bar and will be asked to leave. Membership details will be supplied to any member of the public requiring information about qualifications to become a member under the terms of the Club Rules.
The club through its committee of management will set and maintain dress and behaviour standards. Dress standards will be clearly advertised and displayed in the bar area.
To maintain the standards as required under the terms of Rules the Club will maintain a firm stance in identifying and removing unruly behaviour and drunkenness.
a. Once a member or guest has been identified as becoming intoxicated, under the terms of the licensing requirements the club staff will limit then stop service to the member or guest. Members entering the club in an intoxicated state will not be served. b. All persons under 18 years of age are not admitted as ordinary members and not allowed to remain at the bar. Junior members and other persons under the age of 18 years as a member of an affiliate club are allowed access to the club premises in the company of a responsible adult member from the affiliate club, as are underage children of members.

The Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club has identified four areas of its patron care:
1. The club facility- we have worked with local, health and licensing authorities to build and maintain the bar and kitchen area to meet the standards while being able to develop core operational functions. The club facilities will be upgraded and change as members needs change, but with the full knowledge of the various licensing authorities. 2. Drink Driving and our members- stricter policing of road rules has impacted on the business of clubs, hence we will continually look to identify ways so that each member can happily utilise the club facilities without risking their safety and livelihood with excess alcohol

consumption. The promotion of food services and responsible drinking initiatives will be highlighted in club services. 3. Local Community- The club must first look after its members and make sure we are providing the services they require. The club is conscious that it is seen as a true community player, hence we need to be seen by our members as active in the community as a way of them being supportive of our efforts with returned business. The club will work with other businesses and its neighbours to ensure a very harmonious relationship is fostered and maintained. 4. Food- The club provides food and snacks for its members. The club stocks and prominently displays specialised non-alcoholic drinks and soft drinks for sale.
The club maintains an Approved Licensed Manager amongst its rank sand that person is responsible for training all staff members.

Racial and Religious Vilification Code Cricket Australia has a Racial and Religious Vilification Code for all national competitions.
The code states that a player will not engage in any conduct or act towards or speak to any other player in a manner which offends, insults, humiliates, intimidates, threatens, disparages or vilifies the other player on the basis of that player’s race, religion, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin.
Guidelines exist for breaches of the code e.g. In some instances it may result in the withdrawal of coaching accreditation. Circumstances where adults are involved with a breach of the code should be dealt with seriously and remedial action should be a mandatory requirement by clubs and associations.
In more serious cases, a conciliation procedure should be considered and conducted by a representative of the Equal Opportunity Commission in the state/territory where the breach has purportedly occurred.
The conciliation should involve the complainant, umpire/officials who initiate the complaint, the respondent, and supporting documentation.
A complaint should:
Be in writing; Outline the circumstances of the allegations made; and Be accompanied by supporting documentation including witness statements or video evidence.
In the instance where players are in breach of the code, an emphasis to educate the player to understand the code should be paramount. Remedial or punishable action should be appropriate to the age and understanding of the player in question.

Social Media Policy
Introduction At Wanneroo Districts Cricket Club, we recognise the positive impact of Web technologies and social media on developing and maintaining relationships and communities.
We want to encourage you to benefit from all the opportunities which social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube etc.) present, and help you to minimise any potential risks.
We have developed these guidelines to assist you in managing your online reputation and that of Wanneroo Districts CC as well. We have also produced a document with specific advice on how you can apply these guidelines to your accounts and profiles. It’s important to also share these tips with your friends and team mates as everyone needs to be aware of their digital reputation and how it can be best managed.
Identify your audience Social Media is an area of public comment, and you are as liable for what you say in this sphere, as if the same statement was being made in the media, or directly to a Wanneroo Districts team mate, opposition, coach, club member or volunteer. For this reason, any comments/posts/photos/videos/etc. which you provide on these sites will be subject to the same guidelines as detailed in the Wanneroo Districts CC Code of Behaviour.
Be respectful and courteous Think before you post a comment or respond to someone online and ensure that all of your communications are respectful and courteous. Once you have put something online, there is almost no taking it back and it is almost impossible to delete. Your comments may be seen by the media, opposition, WACA or sponsors and could impact negatively on you and Wanneroo Districts CC.
Avoid getting into heated discussions online or talking about sensitive issues. Speak to a Wanneroo Districts CC committee member or your captain if you feel as though someone is trying to provoke a response from you or harasses/threatens you online.
Protect your identity and online reputation All users of social media sites need to manage what information they share so as to protect their identity and reputation. You can do this by making sure that you lock down your personal accounts by using the most secure privacy settings and only accepting friend requests from people you know

Think before you post and/or tag an image The images you share online will reflect on Wanneroo Districts CC so it is important that you consider this before uploading or tagging photos and videos. Also be aware that these photos may be taken out of context and used by other people so if you are not happy for the image to be shared publicly, it should not be placed online.
Respect other people’s accounts and devices There may be occasions where a teammate leaves a mobile phone unattended or has not properly logged out of an account. As a show of respect, do not use that person’s device or account to harass others or impersonate that person and cause them humiliation.
Maintain a balance Whilst communicating with friends, team-mates and opposition online can be fun and easy, it is also important that you maintain a balance between your online and offline interactions. Putting in face time with friends and family can help to strengthen those relationships and participating in events that bring you into contact with your club-mates can also generate further support and a sense of community.
REMEMBER: Wanneroo Districts CC acknowledges and encourages its members’ right to contribute content to public communications. However, inappropriate use of such communications has the potential to cause damage to Wanneroo Districts CC, its players, club members and volunteers.
