We are unable to accept team nominations in any other format.

What if my child doesn’t have a preference?

No problem! If your player doesn’t have a particular team in mind please use the player preferences question within the playcricket registration sign-up form (not yet active) to nominate three separate players/friends in order of preference. Please do not complete the player preference section of the playcricket registration form if you are already part of a returning team or custom team being submitted as referred above.

Exciting news! If your player can reuse their Hoppys long-sleeve white playing shirt from previous season, we’re happy to offer a new WNJCC club training polo or club trucker hat (polo and hat cost price $35ea) in lieu of the new playing shirt. Stock of polos and hats is limited and will be allocated on first in basis. Click each image to enlarge:

If your player needs a new playing shirt please indicate at the appropriate question on the playcricket junior registration form (not yet active) and record desired size. (players who receive a new playing shirt will not receive a club training shirt or cap). Please review the sizes in preparation for ordering your shirt:

We are committed to following the “return to play” QLD Government guidelines: Return to Play Industry Plan link
Part of the COVID-19 “return to play” guidelines require:

• • Do not attend if you or a family member are unwell or, have recently been unwell, without clearance from a medical professional
  • Parents and carers of players must complete the contact register at the facility on arrival (more details about this process will be included closer to season start)
  • Anyone attending the facility must adhere to social distancing of 1.5m distance from each other when not participating in the “field of play” (talk to the coach if you are unsure where the field of play is). The field of play incorporates changerooms for players.
  • No sharing of protective equipment (helmet, pads, gloves, protectors). Bats must be wiped down with sanitising wipes if being shared. The club will not be able to provide any protective equipment for communal use within teams.
  • No shining of the ball with saliva or sweat
  • Regular sanitising of hands and equipment at breaks (speak to team manager about this)
