Welcome Message
Dear Under 18 Male State Championship Official,
Congratulations on being appointed as an Under 18 Male State Championship official for your region. The 2016/17 Under 18 Male State Championships will be played in Melbourne on Victorian Premier Cricket grounds. We sincerely thank the Premier Clubs for hosting these games and supporting the State Championship Program.
Whether you are new to the Under 18 Male State Championships, or have previously been involved with a region, this season’s competition promises to be an exciting one for all involved. This will be the 17th season that the Under 18 Male State Championships has been played all at the one time with metro regions and country regions playing against each other during the preliminary games.
It is with great pleasure that I am able to say that we will be returning to the MCG for the Final this year. We would like to thank the MCC for allowing us access to this historic venue on Sunday February 5th, 2017. No doubt this will be a great day, and a memorable one for all involved in the match.
This manual has been designed to provide all involved with a comprehensive overview of what is required of State Championship officials before, during and after the competition. It has been expanded from the manuals of previous years and contains a lot of relevant information for officials and players participating at these Championships. I would also draw your attention to our Heat Policy in case of excessive temperatures.
I wish you and your team all the best for the Under 18 Male State Championships.
Yours sincerely, 2 0 1 6 / 1 7

SECTION ONE – General State Championship Information Competition Coaching Philosophy The aim of the State Championship competition is to develop young cricketers to the maximum of their current ability. To achieve their potential, players are to be coached in such a way that develops: the skills, physical attributes and cricket knowledge, and the personal characteristics and self-esteem of each player. Cricket Victoria believes that the above development can be maximised in an environment that: Emphasises individual player development rather than team success Emphasises individual contribution as an essential component in a team environment Considers the players long term participation in cricket at a variety of levels Promotes a balanced approach to the players lifestyle The State Championships via the conduct and coaching of the competition prepares and encourages players not playing Premier Cricket to continue playing cricket at a level commensurate to the player’s ability. Whilst each region will strive to win each scheduled match, the emphasis that each coaching group must focus on is developing the player and allowing the players and officials to enjoy a quality experience. The Championships form part of the talented player pathway and many of the best representative players have made their mark in the series.

The umpire is encouraged to follow extreme heat management strategies including (but not limited to) taking extra or longer drinks breaks, regular rotation of fielders off the ground and limiting bowling spells in consultation with coaches and team officials.
Match Day Manager The role of the match day manager with respect to the implementation of the State Championship Heat Policy is to continually monitor the situation of the game, including all players on both teams, and whether they are displaying signs of heat distress. The match day manager is to be in constant communication with umpires in regards to application of heat management strategies as well as communicating with the Championship convener when venue temperatures (ambient and/or WBGT) reach an ‘amber’ level or greater.
Championship Convener The role of the Championship Convener with respect to the State Championship Heat Policy is to monitor the entirety of matches being played over the course of the Championships by communicating with all Match Day Managers. Once temperatures (ambient and/or WBGT) reach a ‘red’ level or greater, the Championship convener will employ extreme heat management precautions including (but not limited to) reduction in overs per team, scheduling matches to begin earlier in the morning, or postponing/cancelling matches if conditions are deemed unsafe.

APPENDIX N – TALENT IDENTIFICATION AND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM SELECTION POLICY The following is some direction for coaches in selecting State Championship squads. Whilst Officials are appointed by Regions, ultimately they are employed by Cricket Victoria as an important part of the whole Talent Identification and development process that identifies and nurtures young talent leading into State Youth teams and Premier Cricket. Effective Selection process Selection of State Championship teams is a difficult and challenging process. Trying to balance the combination of giving all players an effective opportunity to show their wares and stake their claims for selection, with the pressures of making sure it is not a process that takes an extended amount of time in light of other commitments that these players will have in a cricket sense (e.g. club cricket, school cricket, Senior cricket, other representative cricket). Further balancing is also required in ensuring the selection process not only takes into consideration skill sets of the players, but also their ability to adapt and cope to game situations. Ensure a Positive Selection process Within the actual selection process and squad culling, it is important that the process is a positive one for all players involved. Pure sums dictate that the vast majority who trial will actually miss out on selection with the possibility that the process has negative connotations. All State Championship officials should approach the selection process not only as a way of selecting the squad but also as a coaching opportunity to develop players within their region. This by no means suggests that it becomes a full on coaching session, but all players should be able to take away a positive coaching point from each session they attend. Balanced Squads As with any cricket team selection, one of the great challenges is to get a balanced
squad with the best players in each skill set involved, whilst trying, where possible, to
incorporate as many skill sets as you can into the process. It is recommended that this includes at least two spin bowling options in any team as they have a good strike rate
2 0 1 6 / 1 7 of success at State Championships. With most junior teams, most of the better players seem to be skilled in a couple of disciplines making it easy to incorporate a wide variety of skills into any team at the higher levels. For State underage teams the selectors are working towards a model very similar to what is outlined above. By doing this at a regional level, we are providing them with a variety of options across
the best players at each skill set for them to work into the best squad to represent the HAMPIONSHIPS

Bravery in Selection The State Championships are a combination of identifying and promoting players with talent who may be able to represent the State whilst giving the team a good opportunity to possibly win the State Championship. At the younger age groups, there is a distinct chance that those with skill sets that may give them a chance to represent the State, may at times have inconsistency and downside to their performances that may very well compromise the teams chance to win the State Championship if they have a bad week. Examples of this could be the express pace quick bowler or spinner who puts good revolutions on the ball, both at the expense of control at times, or the dour batter who could be a Sheffield Shield opening batter but whose style doesn’t suit the limited over matches that are played at a State Championships. With a holistic view for Victorian and Australian cricket in the long term, we encourage you to make the brave selection rather than the safe selection. These players need to be seen and tested at this level to see whether they have what it takes to cut it at higher levels. This could compromise the chances of the team at the championships but could also enhance your chances. With great risk sometimes comes great reward. Talent Identification Process Post Championships At the conclusion of the Championships, you as a State Championship Official will be asked to work with your Regional Cricket Manager in assessing the players within your squad. You will be asked to rate them under one of the following categories: Category A - player who you strongly believe will play State youth cricket at their age group next season Category B - player who you believe is a very good chance to play State youth cricket next season and should be monitored. Category C - player who will be monitored by Region as not at skill level required for state based programs. Category D - player who will be monitored through club cricket as still has to develop further as a regional player.
You will also be asked to assess your players on where they are currently at in relation to the different skill sets of the game (batting, bowling, fielding, wicket keeping and character), and also what they could potentially reach as an adult cricketer. This is 2 0 1 6 / 1 7 done using 20/80 reporting that is used through talent identification right throughout Australia.

The 20/80 scale is as follows:
Ratings for Senior Cricket
30 = Local Cricket
40 = Premier Cricket 1st XI Level
50 = State Level (Bushrangers and Spirit contracted players)
60 = International Level (Jon Holland, Grace Harris)
70 = International Good Level ( Kristen Beams, Aaron Finch)
80 = International Elite Level (Meg Lanning, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc)
This feedback will be cross checked with a number of other measures in establishing training squads for the following year’s State Youth teams. You will be asked to make comment on players from other regions (fastest bowlers, biggest spinners etc.). This will all be forwarded to you at the conclusion of the Championships.

APPENDIX P – HEALTH AND INJURY PREVENTION While much of a coaches time is spent developing the physical, technical and tactical components of a players performance, psychological factors contribute greatly to overall performance. Coaches who consider the psychological components of cricket are best placed to develop cricketers who maximise their performance. Coaches need to ensure they spend time understanding how to develop the mental side of their players’ games, and to integrate these ideas into their daily training and coaching. In addition to the requisite Psychological Skills Training (e.g., goal setting, arousal control, self-talk - See Orlick, 2016 below for an excellent summary) helping players develop attitudes and approaches that are consistent with optimal performance is central to their development.
MINDSETS A key element in any coaching role, and particularly important in State Championship Cricket, is to help players continually develop their games. A crucial element to this is a player’s mindset. When considering mindsets we are looking at a players’ beliefs; the lens through which they fundamentally see the world. There are two types of mindsets - Fixed and Growth. Fixed Mindset - “People believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success - without effort.” (Dweck, 2006) Growth Mindset - “People believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work - brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” (Dweck, 2006) These fundamental differences in how a player sees the world impacts on their thoughts and behaviours when playing, training, and in the habits they develop around
cricket. A summary of these tendencies are in the table below:
Fixed Mindset Characteristics Growth Mindset Characteristics Avoids Challenges Loves Challenges

S Is threatened by others’ success 45 Under 18 Male State Championships 2016/17 As a coach being able to help players develop Growth Mindsets that are about working hard and continual improvement leads to better outcomes. As coaches, you should: Be aware of your own beliefs about mindsets and any hidden messages within your feedback. E.g., consoling a player after a poor performance by saying “Don’t worry. You have the ability and will do better next time” implies that they have a set amount of ability and limited room for growth. Use appropriate praise to foster development of the player. Focus on using a growth mindset to praise processes, effort and dedication. E.g., “Your effort and application to what you have been working on was really good.” Use constructive criticism to assist the player in overcoming challenges. E.g., when dismissed after many dot balls “You had the right idea to see off the bowler, next time practice re-focussing after each ball.” A summary of the Mindsets, and how focussing on effort and growth impacts thinking, expectations, and behaviour can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/NWv1VdDeoRY
PROBLEM SOLVING A player’s mindset will be tested most strongly when faced with a situation where they are under pressure, or when their resources are being stretched (e.g., difficult conditions, facing the new ball, a tight game). Helping players to be prepared for these times by providing them with a framework will aid their adoption of a growth mindset and enhance their coping skills. A Problem Solving approach is one such framework. It minimizes the thoughts and emotions experienced when a challenging situation presents, and allows players to act on solutions quickly. It will result in less negative coping styles where the tendency is to be avoidant (e.g., not wanting to play, trying to avoid batting or bowling), or overly emotionally driven (e.g., getting angry and playing a rash shot, getting worried and bowling too conservatively). The following framework can be applied to performance
related situations, or in life generally; 1. Define the problem
2. Generate all possible solutions 2 0 1 6 / 1 7 3. Choose the most appropriate solution and implement it 4. Evaluate the effectiveness of the solution Much of the planning for encountering difficult situations should be carried out during trainings, and pre or post game discussions. Being able to effectively plan for situations
and having pre-pared solutions is important in players adopting a problem solving HAMPIONSHIPS

APPENDIX Q – PHYSIO MAGIC MANUAL
RICER For all acute injuries (muscle strain, rolled ankle, hit with ball, neck pain radiating into arm after bowling etc.), use RICER first. If that aggravates the injury, then try a heat pack. RICER will minimise the swelling and provide pain relief. RICER is the RECIPE for SUCCESS Rest Remove from play, reduce load through area E.g. rolled ankle, stop playing and reduce walking Ice 20 mins every 2 hrs, preferably icy water or bag of ice Use frozen peas or place wet towel in freezer if no ice is available Compression Use stretchy bandage, tubigrip or skins to compress the area E.g. stretchy bandage or tight socks for rolled ankle or skins for corked thigh Elevation keep body part above the level of the heart E.g. rolled ankle placed on arm of couch, placed on pillow to sleep Referral Refer to physio/medical personnel for further assessment
Blisters Blisters are a bubble of fluid under the skin, which becomes a protective barrier from friction or rubbing.
Treatment before/during game: Put Fixomull or blister pad over blister with no crinkles 2 0 1 6 / 1 7 Put Vaseline inside heel of shoe/boot & on the heel of sock – lets heel slide inside boot Treatment at Home: Disinfect with Dettol, Betadine
Cover with band-aid if wearing shoes, getting dirty to prevent infection HAMPIONSHIPS
C Don’t pull/cut off dead skin, it forms protection from infection

47 Under 18 Male State Championships 2016/17 Corks/Hematomas A corkie is bruising in the muscle; it’s the pooling of blood in the muscle from broken blood vessels. It’s a common sports injury, often from body collisions or direct trauma (hit with cricket ball etc.). The forceful impact compresses the muscle against the bone, causing swelling, bruising and pain.
Treatment During Game: Gently rub Deep Heat/Dencorub onto bruise/impact Apply stretchy bandage around cork, place rigid tape over ends to hold down Continue playing – the heat distracts the player from the pain & the compression reduces the swelling & pain After Game: RICER
Muscle Cramp Causes:
Dehydration – lose water & electrolytes (sodium, calcium) through sweat Fatigue – fitness levels, unaccustomed activity Poor Conditioning – poor warm-up & stretching before activity Electrolyte Imbalance – sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate
Treatment: Stretch muscle for 60 seconds, sustained stretch relaxes muscle
