Ellerslie Cricket Club - UNDER 10s - UNDER 13s

Our Under 10, 11 and 12 Hardball teams compete in T20 Smash Grades around greater Auckland.

SEASON

Saturday 28th October – Saturday 16th December
Saturday February 10th – Saturday 23rd March

WHEN

Saturday mornings

WHERE

The competitions are split regionally with other Clubs close by to minimise travel.

WHAT

They play with a white PVC ball, called a Kookaburra Commander, which is hard like an ordinary leather cricket ball, but more water resistant. There are pads, gloves and helmets provided in the team bag, but players are encouraged to bring their own gear.
Playing conditions for these grades can be found on the Auckland Cricket website.

CANCELLATIONS & FIXTURE CHANGES

Double-checking your fixture on PlayHQ here on a Friday evening to make sure there have been no changes made to times or venues is a good habit we recommend.
For wet weather cancellations, please check the Auckland Cricket website here first. Cancellations will be posted by 7am on Saturday mornings.
Coaches/managers if you are unsure if the game is on, we encourage you to use the contact list we will provide you, to call the opposition team coach/manager to discuss this. If a mutual agreement cannot be made, the home team manager has final say on pitch condition and playability. If a game is abandoned, the home team coach/manager must enter the game as abandoned on PlayHQ immediately.
For grade-wide cancellations or a Michaels Ave field closure, an email will be sent out to all team members and a text will be sent to coaches/managers. Make sure to follow our Facebook page here as we will post cancellation updates where we can.
If a specific team is cancelled or game is changed Friday evening onwards, we will send a text to the coaches and managers.
