Trademark, Objectives and Values From Head Coach, Jason Thompson
Our Trademark drives our objectives and values;
OBJECTIVES – My primary objective is to “Be The Best We Can Be ”. This is to be achieved by • Providing a professional, comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere around the club on and off the field. I want it to be a good positive place to be. • Encourage an environment that allows players to improve, develop and reach their individual potential which will ultimately benefits teams and will go a long way to helping us “Be The Best We Can Be” • Continually challenge the group to improve mentally and physically as players and individuals • Build a reputation for the club based around hard work, mental toughness, passion and commitment Perth Cricket Club Handbook Page 8
VALUES – All players that represent PCC this year will be expected to adhere to the following values as this will play a major part in achieving club, team and individual objectives • TEAM FIRST – at all times, all actions in playing, training and preparation must have a team first mentality. If your action is not in the best interest of the team or club it’s simple, don’t do it. This is non-negotiable. • HONESTY – In all facets, playing, training, preparation and evaluation of self and team. • RESPECT – For the club, team mates, coaches, opposition and officials • RELENTLESNESS - in our pursuit of being the best we can be, nothing sways us from this objective.
These values are basic but important to embrace as we enter the season. History shows that successful clubs in sport focus on and embrace similar type values.

Seniors Training
“Some people sometimes lose the fact that what gets them there is hard work and what keeps them there is harder work.” Dennis Lillee
“Even in challenging times, I said to myself, find a way of enjoying it, find a way to break it down to the basics. That would allow your natural skill to come through and help set you back on the right path.” Adam Gilchrist

Trialling Players Players wishing to trial for a Squad will need to make an appointment with coaches prior to attending any training session.
Perth Cricket Club Handbook Page 14
Junior Boys Playing Policy
Perth Cricket Club aims to field junior teams of appropriate numbers, capped between 15 and 18 players per squad. Each of the four junior boys coaches of the four age groups are selected by the Perth Cricket Club to coach the age groups of– U13s, U14s, U15s and U17s. The club aims to progress juniors through each age level and support the players and coaches. Each year the club gives the opportunity to new community cricketers to take part in a trial process and possible selection. Placing players into teams in junior sport is always a complicated process and never an exact science. It cannot be completely planned ahead as numbers are not known until trials open and the process has started. While the club aims to meet players’ and parents’ requests, it is not always possible to do so and we urge people to remember that players who trial for the Perth Cricket Club and are successful are the best young cricketers in the region. This is important to know as we all believe we should be giving everyone a fair go. We also need to remember that district cricket is the breeding ground for test cricketers in Australia so the best young players will be provided every opportunity to excel. A player must not play in a Junior Competition cricket match unless they meet the following age-based criteria for the applicable Junior Competition on 31 August immediately preceding the Season: (a) Under 17 (WADCC Shield) – less than 17 years; (b) Under 15 (Watkins Shield) – less than 15 years; (c) Under 14 (McKenzie Shield) – less than 14 years; and (d) Under 13 (Inverarity Shield) – less than 13 years. • Players can be recommended to the Junior Cricket coordinator by junior coaches to play up a higher level. They will be looked at individually and performances and squad sizes will be taken into consideration. Once agreed the Junior Cricket coordinator will advise the Perth Cricket Club committee and coaches.
Perth Cricket Club Handbook Page 15
Junior Team Selections – Match Days
• Once the coaches have finished their selection process a final squad will be announced and names provided to the Perth Cricket Club committee via the junior cricket coordinator. • Team selections will be made on the Thursday prior to the weekend fixture. Coaches are encouraged to provide feedback to players during the training session who are unsuccessful in making the final team for the weekends match. The club will not enforce a rotation policy for players. Players are selected on performances, team structures and behaviours that are set by the coach. • Captains and Vice Captains are to be announced prior to the first match. Captains and Vice captains are not to be rotated over the course of the cricket season. Coaches are encouraged to select a leadership group for the season. • If the squad has players who have been invited to take part from the country, allowances will be taken into consideration. The Perth Cricket Club recognises the importance of creating strong relationships with Regional cricket associations and with that comes flexibility when allowing players to attend training sessions and selection in matches. • Player behaviour at training and on match days will come into consideration. The Perth Cricket Club upholds very high standards and values and all players must adhere to these when representing the club. Players will respect each other, opposition and officials at all times. • Players selected in Western Australian Cricket Association Rep cricket teams and squads will be given every opportunity to perform. Players who qualify to play in a lower aged team when required will have the ability to play in both junior teams. Example – An underage player playing in U15’s (boy aged 13 turning 14 after September 1 st ) will have the opportunity to play 14’s as well as 15’s. This decision will be made by the junior coaches of the two teams in question and in conjunction with the Junior Cricket Coordinator. • All players in junior squads, while it is not compulsory, are strongly encouraged to align themselves with a junior community cricket club to maximise the opportunity to play cricket.
Perth Cricket Club Handbook Page 16

To further expand female involvement in cricket, Perth CC plan to again support a social ladies competition over six consecutive Friday nights in late January/February. The ‘Sunset Scorchers’ is a social competition and it is aimed at providing interested ladies the opportunity to join in some fun competitive sport. It is hoped wives, girlfriends and mums will all give it a go. The club will be open so partners, friends and children can come down and enjoy the evening as well.

Please treat these with the respect they deserve, this includes the oval, pitches and training equipment.

Alcohol is not permitted to be bought by anyone under the age of 18. Bringing alcohol onto the premises is not allowed as it is a licensed club.

WADCCI Anti-bullying Policy
The Western Australian District Cricket Council (Inc.) has produced an anti-bullying policy. This policy applies to all members, committee, coaches, players, visitors and volunteers of the WADCCI League. Statement of Intent The WADCCI is committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our members so they can train and play in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our club. If bullying does occur, it will be dealt with directly by the club promptly and effectively. What is Bullying? Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person. Bullying can be: • Emotional : being unfriendly, excluding, tormenting (eg hiding kit, threatening gestures) • Physical : pushing, kicking, hitting, punching or any use of violence • Racist : racial taunts, graffiti, gestures • Sexual : unwanted physical contact or sexually abusive comments. • Homophobic : because of, or focusing on the issue of sexuality • Verbal : name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, teasing • Social/Cyber : All areas of internet, such as e-mail, Twitter & Facebook. Mobile threats by text messaging and calls.
Everybody has the right to be treated with respect. Members who are bullying need to learn different ways of behaving. All Cricket Clubs have a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to issues of bullying. Policy Objectives • All club and association administrators, coaching staff, children and parents should have an understanding of what bullying is. • All members should know what the club policy is on bullying, what they should do if bullying arises and follow the policy when bullying is reported.
Perth Cricket Club Handbook Page 43
• As a club we take bullying seriously. Members should be assured that they will be supported when bullying is reported. Bullying will not be tolerated.
Signs & Symptoms A child may indicate by signs or behaviour that he or she is being bullied. Adults should be aware of these possible signs and that they should investigate if a child: • Says they are being bullied • Changes their usual routine • Is unwilling to go to the club • Becomes withdrawn, anxious, or lacking in confidence • Comes home with clothes torn or belongings damaged • Has possessions which are damaged • Asks for money or starts stealing money (to pay bully) • Has unexplained cuts or bruises • Is frightened to say what is wrong • Gives improbable excuses for any of the above.
These signs and behaviours may indicate other problems, but bullying should be considered a possibility and should be investigated. Procedures 1. Report bullying incidents to the Club Welfare Officer (or Club Committee Member) 2. In cases of serious bullying, the incidents will be reported to the State or Territory Cricket Association for advice. 3. Parents should be informed and will be asked to come in to a meeting to discuss the problem. 4. If necessary and appropriate, police will be consulted. 5. The bullying behaviour or threats of bullying must be investigated and the bullying stopped quickly. 6. An attempt will be made to help the bully (or bullies) change their behaviour.
Perth Cricket Club Handbook Page 44
Prevention The following four step non-compliance strategy will be followed if anyone breaches The WADCCI Anti-bullying Policy. 1. Assume the person is unaware of the policy. 2. A staff member or club representative will approach the person breaching the policy and ask them to refrain from the behaviour and remind them about the policy and why it matters. 3. If an offence continues, a senior club member will verbally warn them again and hand over a formally written letter or behaviour contract to sign and return. The letter will outline the Anti-bullying Policy and state that if the person continues the behaviour they will be asked to leave. 4. If the bullying does continue then the patron will be reported directly to the State or Territory Cricket Association and asked to leave the club.
