All Northbridge Cricket Club players are expected to adhere to the following:

• Northbridge prides itself on being a social but serious club. It is expected that all players represent the club with honour and pride, along with a useful dose of humour.
• Treat all of your fellow players and opposition with respect at all times. We aim to play hard, we aim to have fun, but we definitely play fair.
• Treat player umpires with the same levels of respect as official umpires. There will be times you disagree with a decision, but the Northbridge way is to go back to your mark and have another crack at the batsman with the ball. Incidents involving match review committees are heavily frowned upon, refer to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
• As a player umpire, you make decisions by what’s in front of you, not who is batting or bowling.
• Participate fully in training. Turning up and requesting a bat, and then leaving is of no help the rest of your club mates. This also goes with encouraging your club mates, no matter their skill levels.
• A social club is a happy club. We all have commitments, whether it be family or work. But it is expected that players will make the effort to get back to the pub post-match for a drink with your club mates. Northbridge prides itself on the social side of things, with not many other clubs on the North Shore having an environment such as ours.
• When the time arises, we also expect players to volunteer their time to help grow the club. Whether that is at a Bunnings BBQ, recruiting new players, or blowing up the balloons for presentation night it’s important for our members to contribute.
