Policies & Safety

The Well Played document provides details of guidelines, recommendations and resources for playing cricket in Australia. The following is a summary of what you'll find in this resource


Codes of Behaviour

The Codes of Behaviour section identifies a selection of key principles upon which coaches, teachers, umpires, parents and players should base their cricket involvement. The codes ensure that participants develop good sporting behaviours and an inherently positive cricket experience, which encourages them to remain involved in cricket throughout their lives.


Pathways and Game Formats

Ensuring players participate in appropriate game formats, have the opportunity to experience all aspects of cricket and undertake appropriate workloads as they develop are essential elements to be considered. The following section outlines these aspects in detail.


Safety and Legal Considerations

While there is an inherent safety risk in all sports, cricket is generally a safe game, particularly if there is the adoption and implementation of an injury prevention and safety program within your association, club or school.
