Kent Cricket Board District Competition 2011
Ethos
The success of the district competition relies on an ethos that states, "we are developing quality cricketers" not "we are looking to win this at all costs". This balance is difficult to achieve, and requires sound judgement from managers; once established this should assist player development.
Competition Format
Preliminary Stage within areas:
Under 10 – play each other twice (home and away) – no matches rearranged for rain
Under 12 - play each other once – matches rearranged for rain (friendly matches on named dates)
Under 14 – play each other once – matches rearranged for rain(friendly matches on named dates)
Finals stage
Under 12 – top side in each group go forward to semi-final and final
Under 14 – top side in each group go forward to semi-final and final

Trials
Each District must hold squad trials before the final squad is selected.
All clubs and schools in each LA area must be made aware that trials are taking place.
District trials are not only important to ensure that we get the best players, but also to demonstrate that KCB approach selection seriously and aim to include all. Advertising for the trials should have the highest possible profile to ensure equity.
Teams
Teams are to be selected from the best eligible players, boys or girls.
Kent Young Cricketers & Emerging Spitfires
No County Boy player is to play in the district competition – squads will be sent out and published in early 2011.
Please note: -
1. The KYC Boys Squads will be reduced in size prior to the start of the season
2. When a KYC Boy player is dropped from a squad or has been suffering continued bad form they maybe permitted to play with prior agreement from the High Performance Manager
3. KYC Girl players are encouraged to play in the KCB District Competition (within their own age group)
4. Emerging Spitfire players are also encouraged to play in the KCB District Competition - fixtures will be arranged to avoid clashes where possible.
Qualification
Age: Under 10 Must be under 10 at midnight on 31 August 2010
Under 12 Must be under 12 at midnight on 31 August 2010
Under 14 Must be under 14 at midnight on 31 August 2010
Residence
Players are to play for the Local Authority area in which they live (ie pay their Council Tax). If they live outside Kent, they may play for the Local Authority in which they go to school or play for a club.
Helmets
ECB guidance on the wearing of helmets is to be followed.
Umpires and Scorers
The Kent Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers cannot cope with appointing umpires for all games but if managers approach their local umpire organisation, they may well be able to help you. Umpires will be appointed for finals only.
Pitches
Team managers are responsible for finding venues for their home games.
Home games may be played in another LA area if a suitable pitch is not available in their own area.
Non-turf pitches may be used for matches providing team managers/coaches agree.
Balls
Each district has been given £30 towards the cost of balls. It is felt that this should be sufficient to provide a quality ball for each fixture. The home side should provide the ball. Therefore, ONLY ONE BALL is to be used for the entire match, across all age groups and all districts without exception in order to maintain consistency throughout the competition.
Fixtures
Fixtures are to be played on the weekend in the fixture list unless exceptional circumstances prevail. The Director of Cricket Development must agree changes to fixtures. Every effort should be made to reschedule U12 and U14 matches lost to bad weather (bear in mind that this may mean you are without Emerging Spitfires for those fixtures rearranged in the event of a clash). Under 10 matches must not be rescheduled – experience tells us that this will create a fixture pile up.
Play Cricket - Match Results
Please ask your Team Managers or assign one person within your District to input the result. Play-Cricket is used by KYC team coaches and managers to keep an eye on performances.
The WINNING team MUST enter the RESULT and FULL SCORECARD onto Play-Cricket where possible within 48 hours of the match being played. This reporting section will be looked at in the full review process.
Opposing Managers
Please note that we do not hold a full list of district managers at KCB. If you are unsure of the opposition manager please contact the respective DDO.
Clothing
All players are entitled to wear KCB clothing, although there is no expectation that players will wear KCB branded items.
Recommendations to the next level
Please recommend your best players (and those of other teams) for selection for Emerging Spitfire or Kent Young Cricketers teams. It is important that we get this right if we are to make the flow of talented players work (see attached guidance for progression of talented players)
