12 players per team – number of reserves up to individual schools
-
12 players are permitted to bat in any one innings and there are a maximum of 12 players in the field at any one time
-
12 overs of 6 balls per side: if time appears to be a problem, reduce overs to 5 or 4 balls each rather than reduce the number of overs
-
Juniors use a Kanga cricket ball
-
Seniors use an Easton Incredie cricket ball (140g / 142g if possible as this reflects the size of the ball used in weekend cricket and is smaller and easier for players to control), or equivalent: must be a flexible ball (some modified balls on the market are very hard and are unsuitable)

-
Junior Boundary – approximately 30 metres from the stumps at either end
