SSJCA Guidelines for School Visits

Aim: Our public and private schools are the richest source of future player registration for the association. As such, the aim of this paper is to establish guidelines for access into the school system, to foster development and growth in our playing numbers and seek increased development opportunities for our young players.

Initiative: Every club is encouraged by the SSJCA and NSW to initiate communications with their local schools, to run information sessions, provide promotion and ultimately run development centres in the school. NSW Cricket can provide assistance when requested, and this can be co- ordinated through the association.

Pre-Season: The SSJCA will prior to the season commencing, attempt to advertise in all school’s newsletter’s with a Generic advertisement, listing the merits of cricket, the playing conditions and that clubs are available to you in all areas of the Shire. It will reference the website www.ssjca.com.au.

Guidelines: In Table 1.1 shown below, each club without an allegiance to a Catholic School, are assigned approx 800 students within the public school system. Those with Catholic School connections are allocated 400 students. With these schools, you are encouraged to:

 Freely publicise your own club in flyers, school newsletters etc.  Arrange and perform clinics, informing SSJCA prior to attending.  Clinics can be used to promote only those clubs in attendance.

For those schools, not listed against any club, you can:

 Freely publicise your own club in flyers, school newsletters etc.  Arrange and perform clinics, informing SSJCA prior to attending.  Clinics are to advertise the SSJCA, promoting cricket and all our members by listing on the back of advertising material “Cricket in the is supported by a range of member clubs – for more information on a club near you, visit www.ssjca.com.au”.

For those schools where they are listed against another club, you can:

 Approach the club listed, requesting access to the School. Upon approval, arrange and perform clinics, and inform the SSJCA.  Clinics can be used to promote those clubs in attendance. You should list on the back of advertising material “Cricket in the Sutherland Shire is supported by a range of member clubs – for more information on a club near you, visit www.ssjca.com.au”.

Scope of Guidelines: The scope of these guidelines is for formal approaches by clubs into school or schools to clubs. If a School approaches a club, it doesn’t affect the guidelines and the club contacted should assist the School in contacting the appropriate club.

Any miscellaneous communications (including advertising in the School newsletter) are not affected by these guidelines.
