MyCricket – online administration of your Centre
MyCricket is going into its third year of use. Based on feedback from users there have been significant changes this season. All the changes have been made to try to simplify the process for you so that time spent administering your Program can be kept to a minimum and you can spend more time outside in the sunshine with the kids!
We are introducing a new range of ‘How To’ guides that take you step by step through all the processes you should need as a Coordinator - keep your eye on this page for the guides.

The online payment process means that money handling is a thing of the past! Parents/guardians can logon, register and pay for their child to participant in your Program with the click of a button.
Using this function will significantly reduce the amount of time spent collecting, counting and reconciling registration fees.
Cricket Australia is charging a 3.63% service fee per transaction to use the online payment system. This will be taken out automatically once a transaction has been made online.

All children who participant in your Program must be registered online. All the promotion done by SACA directs parents/guardians to the in2CRICKET website where they can register their child. This means most of the children participating at your Centre should already be registered.
If a child comes to your Centre who has not registered, rather than having their parent/guardian fill out a manual registration that you will then need to enter online, give them one of these letters.
Add your own Centre details into the sections of the letter
highlighted in yellow, print out some copies and take them along to your sessions
As part of registering for the Program, each child receives a MILO in2CRICKET Pack. There are 2 different types of pack that children can order:
-
Have A Go – this pack is for beginners, it contains a yellow backpack, t-shirt and bucket hat, sachet of MILO, a plastic bat, safety ball and a drink bottle.
-
Have A Game – this pack of for 2nd or 3rd year participants, it contains a green backpack, t-shirt and bucket hat, sachet of MILO, a wooden bat, a ball and a drink bottle.

Most importantly you will be taken through the major changes for the current season and how they may affect your Centre.
Extra giveaways you can use throughout the season will be distributed at the Training Courses.
The courses are FREE to attend and numbers are unlimited.

Your first session can be a little chaotic with lots of children and parents attending for the first time! Here are a few tips to help things run smoothly
-
Make sure you have checked online to see how many kids have registered for your Program. That way you can make sure you have enough equipment and helpers for the first session. It’s a good idea to print off this list and take it out to the first session
-
Arrive nice and early so you have enough time to set the equipment up before the kids arrive
-
Make sure you are wearing your Coordinators polo shirt and bucket hat so you are easily recognisable to participants
-
If you are collecting the registration fee at the first session make sure you:
-
Have a secure place to keep the money
2. Have a helper to look after this for you, so you can look after the kids
3. Have a float so that you can give change if required
-
Have a few ‘How to register online - Parent Letter’ printed off to give to parents who haven’t registered. They can register manually, however if they do it this way then the information still needs to be uploaded into MyCricket. So if you can get the parents to register their own child online then that is less work for you!
-
At the beginning of the session gather all the kids and their parents at the place where you would like them to meet each week. Introduce yourself and explain how the Program is going to work. It is also a great time to let parents know that you would like them to help with the activities each week. The Coaching Cards you would have received in your coordinators pack are ideal to use to get parents involved.
-
In addition to this, start your session with a game that involves the kids and parents. Something like ‘Red Rover’ or ‘Parents vs Kids’ cricket match. You will be able to see the parents who are keen to get involved and then involve them in the rest of the season!

Prior to the season starting you should contact all participants to let them know what you Heat/Wet Weather policy is and where they go to get the most up to date information:
-
Should they call or email the Coordinator?
-
Will something be posted on a website?
-
Will they receive a text message?
Always do everything you can to ensure sessions take place. You may be able to move to a school gym or other indoor facility or into your club rooms and conduct a Q&A session or activity sheet session (downloadable from the Kids Page of the SACA website).
If sessions have to be cancelled ensure that all participants and their families are informed well in advance.
Every attempt should be made to reschedule any session that may have been cancelled.
Heat Guidelines
Climate conditions vary throughout Australia and individuals’ tolerance of heat and humidity varies significantly. Cricket Australia recommends that clubs, schools and associations apply commonsense guidelines to climatic conditions that exist within their respective regions. The factors listed below should all be taken into consideration when determining if a session is to be cancelled or not:
-
What time of the day does the Program run?
-
How much shade is available at the venue?
-
Do participants have access to cool water?
-
How old are the participants?
-
Do all the participants have a hat?
-
Can we stop for regular drinks breaks throughout the session?
The above listed items are only guidelines and it is recommended that you consult with the respective guidelines of Sport Medicine Australia or health promotion organisation within your state or territory to assist in the development of local policies.
No participants should feel pressured to play in any conditions in which he or she feels uncomfortable. Ultimately, a participant’s parent/guardian has the right to decide whether their child will participate in a session or not. Coordinators and parents/guardians should encourage hydration before, during and after the sessions and monitor participants carefully for any signs of heat stress.
