As a club we are fully committed to providing a safe environment for members of our club (volunteers, players, families, spectators) and the wider community and are committed to providing quality practices in line with guidance available from Sport Australia, Cricket Australia, Cricket Victoria, our local council, the Victorian State Government / Department of Health & Human Services and other relevant authorities applicable to our club. We acknowledge that Cricket in a pandemic is a privilege, not a right. We all need to ensure we are all doing the right thing to ensure the safety of players, volunteers, officials and the local community.

It is important for HCCC to lead and promote a strong culture of COVID-19 safety for the health and wellbeing of participants and the broader community as any breaches could have ramifications for members of the community and the continuation of the season.

This briefing is to inform our players, parents and officials of protocols that support a safe resumption of training and play for the 2020/21 cricket season.  These protocols have been developed by Cricket Victoria (version 2 - effective from 28 September 2020).

Remember - cricket in a pandemic is a privilege, not a right! 'Get in. Train or Play. Get out'
