COME

PRESIDENT’S ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA, I WELCOME ALL STUDENTS, TEACHERS, TEAM OFFICIALS AND PARENTS TO THE 2018 SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 15 YEARS AND UNDER CHAMPIONSHIP.

Established in 1981, School Sport Australia is responsible for the development and promotion of school sport in Australia. Each year school sport representative opportunities are provided for over 6,000 students.

State and Territory school sport bodies work collaboratively and have accepted responsibility for implementing School Sport Australia programs, assisting in policy development and providing, through their individual state/territory networks, the maximum number of opportunities for students to participate in the broadest possible range of sporting activities. School sport is o�ered at district, regional, state and interstate level and each year, hundreds of thousands of Australian students are provided with participation opportunities.

Approved international programs are features of the national school sport calendar. International competitions planned during 2018 include Hockey, Netball and Water Polo, plus schools and individuals will represent School Sport Australia at the International School Sport Federation Cross Country competition.

Interstate sporting competitions provide opportunities for students to participate in sport at the highest level. These Championships are an integral part of the School Sport Australia program, not only for their sporting benefits, but also for the immense educational, cultural and social benefits they provide for the participants.

I extend to all students my best wishes in their pursuit of selection for their State or Territory team and wish them an enjoyable and rewarding experience as they pursue their personal goals in this particular sporting endeavour.

Representing a State or Territory is an achievement of which you can feel very proud. I hope that all competitors, team o�cials, organisers and supporters associated with this Championship derive satisfaction and fulfilment from their involvement.

In closing, I wish to acknowledge and thank Queensland School Sport, Cricket Australia, Queensland Cricket, the Championship o�cials and all of the o�cials from the competing States and Territories for their contribution in ensuring the success of the Championship.

Graeme Jennings President

ON BEHALF OF CRICKET AUSTRALIA, I WELCOME ALL ATHLETES, PARENTS AND FAMILIES TO THIS YEAR’S SSA 15 AND UNDER CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIPS.

School Sport Australia & Queensland School Sport are once again to be congratulated yet again for their hard work & commitment in putting this event together. An event of this scale & significance requires considerable e�ort and on behalf of Cricket Australia and the various state bodies, we thank you.

Underage National Championships such as the SSA 15s are an integral part of the Australian Cricket Pathway, and continue to provide important development opportunities for our emerging stars.

These championships have been the largest contributor of talent to the men’s national team since their establishment, and have helped the likes of Australian captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner rise from young guns to world beaters.

Enjoy the challenge of testing yourselves against the best from across the country, and the opportunity to play with your teammates and create memories that will last throughout your cricketing careers and beyond.

Good luck to all!

FORW

ARDCHAIR’S JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY HAS HAD AN EXPERIENCE

WITH SCHOOL SPORT AT SOME LEVEL. IN MY CASE THE EXPERIENCE WAS SO GOOD THAT I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO ATTEND MANY SCHOOL SPORT EVENTS AT ALL LEVELS.

Queensland School Sport and the process of selection for our teams covers the entire state and just about every student gets a chance to participate in our program whether that be at the school selection trial or all the way to this School Sport Australia (SSA) event.

The SSA 15yrs and Under Boys Cricket Championships being held on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane, this week is the culmination of a great deal of effort by the students who are here and the various school sports systems that support them. To the students, I wish you the best of luck and hope that in the future you have success and throughout your life continue to support sport in schools as your teachers and parents have supported you.

To our parents who have made the trip to the Sunshine Coast / Brisbane, thank you for your ongoing support of your son/daughter and of our School Sport programs. I hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Queensland.

For our students, sport is about participation and it is a character building activity that will assist you to face the challenges in life. Give your best and reap the benefit of knowing that through your endeavours with the support of family you have reached the pinnacle of School Sport in Australia.

I hope you all enjoy the championships and keep this program as a memento of a wonderful period of your schooling life.

Enjoy the experience!

MESSAGE

NATIONAL SECRETARYIT IS MY PLEASURE TO ONCE AGAIN WELCOME ALL PLAYERS, OFFICIALS, PARENTS AND SUPPORTERS TO THE SUNSHINE COAST AND BRISBANE FOR THE 2018 SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 15 YEARS AND UNDER CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIPS.School Sport Australia highly values the educational, social and sporting benefits of these Championships that bring together extremely talented players from around Australia to compete at the highest level of competition available within the education framework.

Congratulations to all players on their selection and I am certain that the fine traditions of school sport, team spirit and cooperation will be maintained throughout the Championship. For some participants this may be their one and only state representative experience, while for others, it may be the stepping stone to greater opportunities in cricket and sport in the future.

An event such as this requires a huge amount of preparation and hard work. I would like to thank School Sport Queensland and their cricket committee and in particular the Championship Convenor Andrew Fearon and the School Sport Queensland Sports Officer Vicki Aley for their outstanding contribution to the organisation of this championship.

I would also like to acknowledge the terrific support that Cricket Australia continues to give to this event. It is greatly appreciated. The programs and the financial grants they provide throughout all levels of primary and secondary school cricket have been significant factors in increased participation of school aged children in our great game. The considerable contribution made by Cricket Australia has been instrumental in meeting the costs of staging this prestigious event.

I wish all the players the best of luck during this Championship and trust that the competition will be fair and challenging. I hope that the friendships you make this week are lasting ones and that your memories are pleasant and reflect the true meaning of sportsmanship.

I look forward to watching some exciting cricket during the week and trust that you will leave Queensland having learned more about cricket and yourselves, and while not all will win, you have all won by participating in the event itself.

HYDRATION GUIDELINES

DRINK WATER DRINK FLUIDSSCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA PROGRAMS PROVIDE BOTH SPORTING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. THE PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES IS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS BECOME AWARE OF THE BENEFITS OF PROPER HYDRATION PRACTICES BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

It is essential therefore that all team management at School Sport Australia events ensure that students are not placed at risk and are properly hydrated before participating in physical activity.

KEY MESSAGES The following messages should be used to help convey the benefits of proper hydration.

HYDRATE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PLAY

THIRST IS A POOR INDICATOR OF

FLUID NEED

SUGGESTED PROCEDURESThe following procedures are suggested for all School Sport Australia events:

9 Host organisations should ensure that water is available at all venues at all times and if necessary, water carriers should be provided during matches. Other fluids which may be used include diluted sports drinks, diluted cordial and diluted fruit juices. Carbonated drinks should not be used.

9 The procedures to be followed for providing fluid to students during competition should be clearly identified at the pre-event meeting.

9 Sports which do not have appropriate scheduled re-hydration strategies (e.g. drinks breaks) should implement strategies for allowing fluid to be provided to participants during matches.

9 Scheduled breaks in matches should be used to actively promote the benefits of hydration to participants.

9 Where possible, team management should actively promote the use of interchange rules as a tool to prevent dehydration.

9 Participating teams may designate their own water carriers. These may be adults but cannot be the team coach.

9 No water carrier is to engage in the coaching of individuals or the team whilst on the field of play.

9 School Sport Australia member bodies should ensure that all their teams are provided with individual water bottles for every event. During matches, these should be located immediately next to the playing area to enable players to help themselves (at appropriate times) during matches.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

RICKY PONTING CUPRicky Ponting is one of the most decorated players to ever don the Baggy Green. Boasting more records than any other player in Australian history, Ponting has scored the most Test and ODI runs for his country, has had the most wins as a player, a captain and has taken the most catches by a non-wicket-keeper. With 13,378 runs in his 168 Tests, he is one of the most prolific batsman in the world.

As a captain, Ponting led the Australian side to back to back World Cup wins in the ODI format; winning a record 34 matches in a row. His own form during that time was monumental, especially his 140* against India in the Final against India in 2003.

The former captain has had to go through periods of uncertainty, but has always come through the other side stronger than before. At first, he lost the ability to play his beloved pull shot. Now it’s working better than ever. Then, against tight swing bowling, he was falling across the crease, exposing himself to LBW decisions. Now, he is driving the ball with perfection.

Any doubts over his form were quashed in the 2011/12 series at home against India. Ponting averaged 108 for the series, scoring 221 in Adelaide, as well as 134 in Sydney.

Ponting is one of the greatest fielders of all time. He started his career at point, running out batsmen at will. He moved into the slip cordon, and has taken some ‘out of this world’ screamers.

Ricky’s desire to give back to cricket has seen him take up the opportunity to support School Sport Australia cricket programs. Naming the winner’s trophy after him recognises this contribution.

YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP PACE BOWLER WELFARE

MANAGEMENT APPROACH• 10 Week Plan workloads are developed

for pace bowlers in each squad so that 4 week average loads are 120-150 before championships so players are well prepared, including standby players.

• Avoid spikes greater than 50%. The Athlete Management System (AMS) provides a warning to State Talent Managers (STM’s) coaches, physiotherapists and strength and conditioning coaches at 50%.

• Ideally players should be able to be provided a period of rest after the championships – case managed approach in consultation with State Coaches, Grade clubs, and schools for the targeted pace bowlers.

• All balls bowled are recorded throughout the pre-season and season (education provided to players) to allow for monitoring and plan adaptation.

• Regular review of plan and adapt throughout the season.

• AMS allows for wellness information to be recorded and track how players are coping with the planned loads injury recording.

• All injuries to be recorded on AMS for the season by State Physiotherapists for season. This is a critical step in gaining more knowledge at the Championships and age level.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE WE MANAGE THE WELFARE OF YOUNG FAST BOWLERS, THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF BONE STRESS RELATED INJURIES.

1. AGE

• Growing bones are more susceptible to injury

• Spinal bones don’t fully mature until the mid 20’s

2. WORKLOAD

• Understand previous loads

• Plan & Monitor for each individual

• Avoid large load spikes

3. TECHNIQUE

Counter-rotation Greater than 35º is a risk

35º
