MYCRICKET SEASON GUIDE

Welcome to the Cricket Season!

On behalf of Australian cricket I would like to wish you all the best for the upcoming season, we hope that 2015-16 is a successful one both on and off the field for cricket across the country.

As club administrators and volunteers you are the lifeblood of community cricket and are integral to Australian cricket’s vision to be Australia’s favourite sport. The outstanding contribution from each of you at the almost 4,000 cricket clubs across our sporting nation ensure that the next generation of cricket players can enjoy this great game.

We want to make your job as easy as possible so that you still have time to enjoy the game and this philosophy underpins our development of the MyCricket system and associated products including the new MyCricket Community website, Scorer app, MyCricket app and club websites.

The purpose of the MyCricket system is to assist Australian clubs and administrators to manage your fixtures, match results, scorecards and ladders, while offering you a range of different features to assist in the day-to-day running of your club. An overview of this functionality is provided in this guide.

Good luck for the season ahead and thank you for your contribution in helping to make cricket Australia’s favourite sport.

TIP 1: Use MyCricket Scorer in ‘DEMO’ mode for practice/pre-season matches

Recruit new players with playcricket.com.au!

A national marketing campaign was launched in August to encourage more people to play cricket - no matter who they are, where they’ve come from or whether they’ve ever picked up a bat or ball.

A website has been developed at playcricket.com.au to help connect potential players with their local Club and introduce newcomers to the game of Cricket. Search details are pulled from MyCricket so it’s vital for your club to have up-to-date and relevant contact, club offerings and registration details within the system.

Recruiting new players to your Club has never been easier thanks to a range of free PlayCricket posters, flyers and ad templates that can be tailored with your own Club details. These easy to use templates are now available in MyCricket via Administration > Resources > PlayCricket Marketing Support.

The MyCricket Community is the new online hub for everybody in the cricket community. Whether you are a player, coach, umpire or club volunteer – there is something here for you.
