Letter from the chairman There is no lack of interest in cricket: we have more clubs than ever joining our youth cricket association for the season 2009. All are welcome and we now have in place our own web site and web site manager which I hope will provide us with up-to-date reports, league tables and cup results. May I ask everyone to show patience and not to expect too much too soon from our new development which, I am sure, will benefit us greatly in the long term. A close examination of our 2009 handbook will reveal quite a number of changes, not least a new constitution which embodies standards set by the ECB and guidelines for team managers. I welcome these improvements and ask everyone involved in youth cricket to pay particular attention to the detail. May I wish all clubs an enjoyable and successful 2009 season.

CONSTITUTION
The organisation shall be called WEST MIDLANDS YOUTH CRICKET ASSOCIATION (WMYCA). The aim of the association is to:-
(a) promote, develop and organise the playing of youth cricket for member clubs, (b) co-operate with the respective County Cricket Boards, cricket clubs and other outside bodies to
ensure standards of cricket are upheld and improved. (c) work with outside bodies to support all children and young persons to develop to be the best
cricketer he or she can be. Membership of the association shall be in one of the following:
1. A leisure cricket club recognised and affiliated to its respective County Cricket Board. 2. A community association, a leisure organisation through affiliation to a club in 1 above..
Cricket in the Association shall be organised in five sections by the age of players; Under 10, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under18. THE LAWS OF CRICKET shall apply and the game owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it is played not only within its LAWS but also within the SPIRIT OF THE GAME. At Under 10, Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 levels the team managers are responsible at all times for ensuring the game is conducted within the SPIRIT OF THE GAME as well as within the LAWS. At Under 18 the CAPTAIN is responsible for his team`s conduct. The WMYCA is required by the England and Wales Cricket Board to have in place a policy which safeguards all young persons under 18 years of age. We have a WELFARE OFFICER whose name, address and telephone numbers are printed in the handbook and his role is described below. Our policy is that every child or young person under 18 years of age who plays or participates in cricket will be able to do so in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from abuse. All officers of the association and club officials have a responsibility to work with the welfare officer on the implementation of this policy.
10
We are responsible to safeguard the welfare of all children and young persons within the association by protecting them from physical , sexual and emotional harm and from neglect and bullying. We shall meet our obligation to the highest standard of care. We have adopted the ECB document “Safehands, Safeguarding the welfare of young people in cricket” and meet our commitment to apply all of its policies and procedures. This policy and any associated procedures apply to ALL MEMBER CLUBS, to any person in paid or voluntary work at a cricket club, to umpires, team managers, club officials, cricket coaches and other helpers in whatever capacity. Each person must be registered for cricket at the CRB. The association will consider, after taking legal advice, whether anyone who has a previous criminal conviction or caution for offences relating to the abuse of children or young persons, violence or sexual offences, should be excluded from working with children and young people associated with the WMYCA. This position is reinforced by legislation and guidance in England and Wales and will be assiduously applied by the WMYCA. The key principles underpinning this policy are: The young person`s welfare is paramount. All children and young persons have a right to be protected from abuse regardless of age, gender, disability, culture, language, racial origin, religious beliefs or sexual identity. All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately. The role of the welfare officer is to:- (a) ensure the England and Wales Cricket Board regulations on welfare are upheld and practiced, (b) work in conjunction with the local authority Social Services Departments and local Safeguarding Boards in accordance with their procedures ( c) receive training for the role and offer safeguarding advice upon request. The training will ensure correct action is taken if there are concerns about a child or young person involved with the WMYCA We will do everything possible to ensure children and young persons participating in all forms of cricket will be conducted in an environment of safety and vigilance. The name, address and telephone numbers of the welfare officer at each member club shall be printed in the Association Yearly Handbook The Member Club main contact person shall have his\her name, home address, telephone numbers and Email address printed in the Association`s Yearly Handbook. The WMYCA has an EQUITY POLICY which seeks to ensure each child and young person has an equal opportunity to be the best cricketer he or she can be. We recognise that inequalities exist but we are committed to provide cricketing opportunities which achieve equality of access and choice. Youth Cricket in the WMYCA, as laid out in our Constitution, is open to all regardless of age, ability, gender, disability, race, culture, language, religious belief, sexual identity or social and economic status. ALL MEMBER CLUBS MUST have an equity policy in place to meet the standards set out in this constitution. DISSOLUTION POLICY. After the payment of all debts any remaining assets shall be transferred to the Staffordshire Cricket Board. These local playing rules shall apply and work together with the LAWS OF THE PLAYING RULES FOR THE SEASON 2009.

Guidelines for team managers 1. Team managers must have a copy of the current yearly handbook with them at all WMYCA matches. 2. The officials should make contact with each other before the match starts. 3. Any concerns about the eligibility of players must be resolved before the match starts and comply with the rules laid down in the handbook. 4. Each scorer should have a proper score sheet. Team managers should check with the umpires and scorers on the match result before the winning (or, in the event of a tie or abandoned game, the home) team manager notifies the Results Secretary of the match details. 5. The team manager is responsible for the welfare and safety of his/her team but must NOT enter the field of play unless asked to do so by the umpires. 6. Both team managers have a responsibility to ensure youth cricket is played in a safe, friendly and enjoyable environment. Any incursion which is a threat to this must be dealt with promptly by the team managers and the umpires confronting the person or persons concerned. If officials are unable to restore a high standard of behaviour which would allow the match to continue, the match should be abandoned. A report is to be compiled immediately with as much evidence as possible, signed by both team managers, with the names ,addresses and telephone numbers of both umpires and independent witnesses. The report should be posted after completion to the Age-level Results Secretary. These guidelines should operate in conjunction with the Laws of Cricket, the constitution and yearly handbook of the WMYCA.

ECB FAST BOWLING AND FIELDING DIRECTIVES Fast bowling match directives (issued February 2000) For the purposes of these directives, a fast bowler should be defined as a bowler to whom a wicketkeeper in the same group would in normal circumstances stand back to take the ball.
Age Max overs per spell Max overs per day Up to 13 4 8 Under 14 and Under 15 5 10 Under 16 and Under 17 6 18 Under 18 and Under 19 7 21 Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again from either end until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell has been bowled from the same end. If play is interrupted, for any reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in progress at the time of the interruption can be continued after the interruption up to the maximum number of overs per spell for the appropriate age group. If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again from either end until the equivalent number of overs to the length of the spell before the interruption have been bowled from the same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more, whether scheduled or not, the bowler can commence a new spell immediately. Once a bowler covered by these directives has bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximum number of overs per day for his age group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can exceed the maximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. If he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as he reverts to bowling fast. Captains, team managers and umpires are asked to ensure that these directives are followed at all times. Any reference to he/his should be interpreted to include she/her. ECB fielding regulations These regulations apply to all matches where a hard ball is used. No young player in the Under 15 age group or younger shall be allowed to field closer than 8 yards (7.3 metres) from the middle stump, except behind the wicket on the off side, until the batsman has played at the ball. For players in the Under 13 group and below the distance is 11 yards (10 metres) These minimum distances apply even if the player is wearing a helmet. Should a young player in these age groups come within the restricted distance the umpire must stop the game immediately and instruct the fielder to move back. Any young player in the Under 16 to Under 18 age group who has not reached the age of 18 must wear a helmet and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) when fielding within 6 yards (5.5 metres) of the bat, except behind the wicket on the off side. Players should wear appropriate protective equipment whenever they are fielding in a position where they feel at risk. These regulations are applicable to all cricket in England and Wales. Age groups are based on the age of the cricketer at midnight on 31st August in the year preceding the current season.
