  • NSCA Return to Play Protocol
    Return to play plan – Nova Scotia Cricket Association Introduction In preparing this plan, NSCA consulted with Sport NS, Cricket Newfoundland & Labrador, Cricket New Brunswick, Cricket PEI, Quebec Cricket Federation, medical professionals, and national body Cricket Canada. In addition, it was reviewed by Ingleton Liburd, General Manager of Cricket Canada, with input from various other provinces within Canada. The plan was prepared by a committee of the National Board and approved by the NSCA Board in a meeting on May 31st 2020. About cricket While NSCA is a PSO affiliated with Sport NS, Cricket is not well known in the province, it may be useful to outline the main aspects of the sport to assist in evaluating this plan. It is a bat and ball game without physical contact, with typical distances of more than 2m between players. It is closely analogous to softball and baseball. In Nova Scotia the game, as organized by and under the purview of NSCA, is played only on the Halifax Commons which makes enforcing the control mechanisms effective. Our programmes have two main components when normally carried out: Practice Practice takes place with variable numbers of High Performance (HP) athletes. The main practice facility is Spryfield Lions Gym (Indoors) and Ridgecliffe Middle School (Playground) for physical training. There are also “nets' ' within the batting cages – at the Warehouse (private facility in Lower Sackville), where at a lane each where a single batsman will practice against 3-4 bowlers taking turns to bowl at them. In addition fielding practice will take place at Ridgecliffe Middle School playground where about 20 participants practice fielding, catching and throwing, usually widely spaced.

  • UPDATED GUIDANCE for PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY in WALES from 27Th March 2021
    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 27 March 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 13th March. From Saturday 27 March: • You can use outdoor cricket nets with members of your household or support bubble, or with people from one other household, as long as the total number of people engaging in cricket activity is no more than 6 (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either of those households as they do not count towards the group size limit). • One to one coaching can resume. The coach counts as one household meaning that the other participants (up to 3) must be from the same household as each other (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either households). • Social distancing rules must be observed. • Clubs should refer to Part 2 for guidance on the preparation of their ground and safe installation of nets. • The end of stay local guidance, meaning that you can travel to play permitted outdoor cricket anywhere in Wales. For under 18s (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020), this means organised outdoor cricket activity can take place anywhere in Wales. ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits.

  • Safe Return to Indoor Training Directives GUIDE for COACHES
    Indoor Training Protocols (ROI / NI) Safe Return to Indoor Training Directives GUIDE FOR COACHES SAFE RETURN TO INDOOR TRAINING DIRECTIVES – GUIDE FOR COACHES INTRODUCTION Sport provides great mental and physical health benefits for our society, and cricket is no exception. However, we all have a duty of care to ensure that our cricket clubs operate within a safe environment. This practical guide for coaches has been developed in consultation with medical experts and in line with both ROI and NI Executive Government Guidelines. It outlines the robust measures Cricket Ireland and the Provincial Unions strongly recommend clubs implement and maintain to help safeguard all members during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will allow all of us to get back to training safely indoors, improving the wellbeing of members across Ireland. The key to success will be the collective approach to compliance with the protocols, and there is no obligation for clubs to plan towards indoor training if they feel they cannot meet their health and safety obligations. As always follow the Government Guidelines of Good Hand Hygiene – Respiratory Etiquette – Social Distancing. SAFE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY Playing and coaching cricket in itself carries some degree of risk and whilst being mindful of the guidelines regarding COVID-19, clubs should not lose sight of the normal safety rules relating to playing and coaching cricket which continue to apply and must be complied with (e.g. safeguarding, First Aid etc.). Although there is no specific evidence that equipment can spread COVID-19, we know that contamination by respiratory droplets from an infected person can potentially survive on hard surfaces for up to three days.

    From Flock to Baggy Green From Flock to Baggy Green Gideon Haigh Imprint to go here n team photographs from his era, Joe Darling is invariably near the centre, unsmiling earnestness Iaccentuated by a horseshoe moustache, blazer tight across his broad shoulders. He appears a man not to be trifled with – indeed, his physical strength was a byword, his nickname ‘Paddy’ in token of his resemblance to the heavyweight boxer Paddy Slavin. He looks, in fact, a leader, which is what he was: a brave captain Australia in twenty-one of his thirty- four Tests, a distinguished parliamentarian, and also a woolgrower. His lingering contribution to Australian cricket, indeed, might be felt a combination of the professional, the political and the pastoral. It was on his watch that Australian cricketers first wore the woollen caps and blazers of green and gold in which, as cricket writer Ray Robinson put it, they would be ‘harder to repel than the Spanish Armada.’ 1 Gideon Haigh From Flock to Baggy Green to the nation which they would belong to on their return home’; George Reid spoke of unity ‘with tears in his eyes’. Australian cricket teams over the preceding twenty-one years had played in all colours of the rainbow; something fresh was wanted. The cricketers’ new sage green and gold headgear, manufactured in pure wool and bullion thread by the Collins Street outfitters Louis Potts and Edmund Wilkinson, bore ‘Advance Australia’ on the motto scroll, beneath a prototype coat of arms in informal use for around half a century featuring four panels representing colonial prosperity: a ship (immigration), a pick and shovel (mining), a sheaf (wheat) and a sheep (wool).

There has been much said about the decline in science, mathematics, reading, and writing nationwide over the past few years. After the enforced lockdown period in 2020, learning was certainly looking bleak for students across the country. Across New Zealand in 2019, pre Covid-19, just 35% of year 8 students achieved ‘at’ or ‘above’ the national curriculum expectation in writing. 56% of year 8 students achieved ‘at’ or ‘above’ in reading and 45% were ‘at’ or ‘above’ in mathematics. Only 20% of year 8 students achieved ‘at’ or ‘above’ in science.
