New teams complete the New Team form: New Team 2025-26. Fill out the first page and only parts 1-6 of the second page. The rest of the second page will be completed by the Association when payment is confirmed.

Individual player details are not needed when registering. There are no restrictions on fill-in players, except during finals matches.
What the team fee covers
The cricket registration fee covers the general costs of running the competition. These include ground hire, third party insurance, umpires for finals, trophies, Association events, advertising and other administrative costs.
What teams must provide
Each team must provide at each match a portable scoreboard, stumps and bails (spring back stumpsare recommended), a dozen boundary markers (small plastic cones) and an official match ball. The official match ball in 2025-26 is the Kookaburra Tuff-Pitch, available at sports stores or online. Teams can choose to provide a kit for the use of all players. There are no dress requirements, though many teams wear team shirts.
The cricket registration fee does not cover these costs.
Individual player insurance
Individual player insurance must be purchased separately from the third party insurance the Association provides. The cost of individual player insurance is about $35 for the whole season and includes some protection against personal costs of injury and loss of income.
