GROWING CRICKET IN THE PEEL REGION 2018 – 2020
The Peel Cricket Board wishes to acknowledge the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries which provided funding for the development of the strategy, ‘Growing Cricket in the Peel Region, 2018 – 2022’.
FOREWORD
On behalf of the Peel Cricket Board, we are delighted to provide you with the Peel Cricket
Board Strategy for 2018 through until 2020.
Through a consultation process with each of the key board members representing their
respective club, association or district, we have identified a range of strategies which
will not only assist in growing participation numbers for cricket in the Peel Region, but
which also aim to increase retention rates from junior ages through to seniors. We also
recognise that increasing facilities for training and playing is fundamental in strengthening
the cricket experience.
We will continue to work closely with our key partners - Department of Local
Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Cricket Australia, the Western Australian
Cricket Association, Lord’s Taverners Australia, City of Mandurah, Shire of Murray and
City of Rockingham – to maintain our strong connections and provide a united voice for
cricket in the Peel Region.
Together we can grow the game of cricket by being:
UNITED, COLLABORATIVE, INCLUSIVE, PROACTIVE.
Long live cricket in the Peel Region.

Page 7INTRODUCTION
Peel Cricket Board (PCB) was formed in 2012, and incorporated in May 2014. Since
forming, the PCB has developed under CA and the WACA to develop cricket participation
in the Peel District. The initial strategy, ‘Strategy to Grow Cricket in the Peel 2014 –
2017’, was developed to introduce both kids and adults to the game of cricket leading
to an increase in participation rates. The current strategy, ‘Growing Cricket in the Peel
Region 2018 – 2022’ will focus on not only increasing participation rates but focus on the
retention of players in all clubs and districts and all age groups, and initiate actions to
increase facility development.
The PCB provides a united voice for cricket and advocates for resources, facilities and
funding for the Peel region. The Peel Cricket Board is one of 14 community cricket boards
across WA formed as part of a WACA initiative to increase communication between the
cricket community and the WACA.
The PCB comprises representatives from the following groups, Associations and
Departments:
• WACA,
• Rockingham Mandurah District Cricket Club,
• Peel Cricket Association,
• Peel Junior Cricket Association,
• Female Cricket,
• Peel Umpires,
• Baldivis Secondary College – Cricket Specialist Centre,
• Local Government,
• State Government.
The key partners in developing cricket in the Peel Region include:
• City of Mandurah,
• City of Rockingham,
• Department of Sport and Recreation,
• Lord’s Taverners Australia Peel Region WA,

According to the PCB Rules of Association, the objects of the PCB are to:

within the Peel community,

• Establish and maintain sound working relationships with stakeholders in the Peel
region,
Page 8• Promote all competitions in the region that are endorsed by the Peel Cricket Board and

them in cricket.
The Peel Cricket Board aims to:

Page 9METHODOLOGY
The strategic plan has incorporated a mixed methods design where both qualitative and
quantitative research tools have been applied:
• Qualitative – perception based semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders,
• Quantitative – data collection sourced through WACA Regional Cricket Manager –
Peel.
Secondary data was sourced through publications and reports made available from CA,
WACA, PCB, DLGSCI, and the LGA’s of Kwinana, Mandurah, Murray, Rockingham and
Waroona.
Stakeholder Consultation
Meetings were held with each member in the key stakeholder group between May and
September 2018. The key stakeholders were:
• Mr Tim Lees, Chair,
• Mr Ben McCulloch, Secretary,
• Mr Peter Ritchie, Treasurer,
• Mr Brodie Green, Regional Cricket Manager – Peel,
• Mr Steve Langley, Rockingham Mandurah District Cricket Club representative,
• Mr Rob Wallace, Peel Cricket Association representative,
• Ms Rebecca McLennan, Peel Junior Cricket Association representative,

Additional meetings were held with:
• Ms Julie Boyd, President of the Peel Junior Cricket Association,
• Mr Peter Swarbrick, President of the Rockingham Mandurah District Cricket Club,

Input from each of the stakeholders has been vital in ensuring a strategy development

addressed and actions to overcome are identified.

The PCB facilitates representation across junior, senior and district cricket in the Peel Region,
incorporating both metropolitan and country cricket. The three primary associations are:
1. Peel Junior Cricket Association,
2. Peel Cricket Association,
3. Rockingham Mandurah District Cricket Club.
Clubs
The cricket clubs within each of the association span the Local Government Areas of
Kwinana, Mandurah, Murray, Pinjarra, Rockingham and Waroona. The PCB strives to have a
junior and senior team with each club, and in recent seasons has introduced both girls and
ladies teams. Listed in Table 1 are the clubs playing in each association.

MILO in2CRICKET (5 – 8 years) and MILO T20 Blast (7 – 11 years) are the Entry Level
Programs administered by clubs and calculated as individual registrations. The programs
have now been replaced in the 2018/19 season with a new program, Woolworths
Cricket Blast. The junior age groups are based on number of teams with the U13’s girl’s
competition commencing in 2016/17. Until the 2016/17 season, the number of players in
each team was 15. However, from the 2017/18 season, for the U10’s and U11’s teams were
calculated as teams of 10 due to new junior formats.
Participation numbers for the Milo in2 Cricket remained at 299 in the 2017/18 season
despite reaching 361 in the 2015/16 season. The Milo T20 Blast series numbers peaked
at 382 in 2015/16 and finished at 291 in 2017/18 season. The total numbers of junior
teams increased from 58 in the 2013/14 season to 63 in the 2017/18 season. Participation
numbers remained steady in all age groups except the U15’s which decreased from 7
teams in 2016/17 to 4 teams in 2017/18. The introduction of the girls U13’s competition
commenced with 4 teams in 2016/17 increasing to 5 teams in 2017/18.

Facilities
An audit of cricket facilities was initially completed in 2012 with a review conducted in 2016
to:
• Provide an inventory of cricket facilities being utilised by clubs in the Peel Region,
• Assess and rate facilities against a list of core/optional facilities,
• Identify any current gaps in provision,
• List any major works for prioritisation by the PCB,
• Ascertain planned new and future facility developments,
• Identify any further opportunities to develop cricket in the Peel Region.
The ‘Peel Cricket Board Facilities Audit’ (2016) provides a summary of each of the home
grounds and potential training or competition venues available in each of the LGA’s (Tables 5
and 6).

Page 15KEY CHALLENGES
In 2017, the PCB members developed a strategic framework for 2017 through to 2020
which identified a number of key focus areas:
• Participation and volunteers,
• Profile and promotion,
• Elite teams,
• Revenue,
• Technology,
• People – stakeholders and governance,
• Facilities,
• Women and girls,
Interviews with stakeholders during the stakeholder process were semi-structured,
allowing each the opportunity to identify key challenges facing cricket in the Peel Region.
Common themes were evident in each interview and have been aligned with the key
focus areas:
Table 7. Key Challenges – Common Themes.
Participants & Volunteers Increased participation; increased retention; parent
skilling
Profile & Promotion Schools programme; local advertising; communications
strategy
Elite Teams Complete pathway for RMDCC
Revenue Increase in funding; changes to fees
Technology Online media presence
People: Our Stakeholders & Our Governance Partnerships; Council liaison person; changes to Rules

Facilities Night lights; small ball lighting; indoor facility; more
ovals with 2 pitches; toilets; turf wickets
Women & Girls Develop pathway & womens programme; scheduling;
focus on womens participation
Other More T20’s, introduce mid week competition, forecast
of future clubs
All key challenges stated in the interviews are outlined in Table 8 and form the basis of the
Strategy 2018 – 2022. It is worth noting that many of the targets will require benchmark
statistics in the 2018/19 season to provide ongoing data comparison.
The following strategy has been developed taking into consideration that many of the
people conducting the activities are volunteers and meet on a quarterly basis. It is
essential that the strategies be realistic and achievable. Additionally, during the season,
focus is directed to the business of playing cricket; off-season allows time for completion
of strategic actions.
