Where Are Games Played?

The Metropolitan Junior Cricket Council coordinates the grades and fixtures. The MJCC endeavours to keep travel time to games to a minimum but distances will depend on teams in each grade. Home games are played at Britannia Reserve, Menzies Oval or Les Lilleyman oval.

How are player transfers or permits to play for multiple clubs handled?

In the registration processes on PlayHQ, players will be asked to declare their current registration status. The three options to choose from are;

1. Returning Player. Re-registering to my most recent Club -Summer Season.

You are returning to the same club you were most recently registered to in a Summer season. This includes players who are returning from a break from cricket to their same club.

2. Returning Player. Registering to a new Club or a past club.

You have previously played cricket. However, you are registering to a different club than you last played for (even if you played for them sometime in the past). In this case you would require a transfer. If you will be registering to a second team/competition in addition to your home club you will require a permit to play with the second team (e.g. Premier Grade team and a permit to play with a community cricket grade team).
