Boys Intermediate Grade Playing Conditions:

Remember: the game is for the children, not the coaches and parents. Coaches are reminded to be as inclusive as possible of every team member:

This grade is for children under 11 years on Sept 1st of the season in question. It is recommended that competent 11 year olds play in Senior, CoIts or Premier
Games begin at 8.30am
Games are 30 overs each side
A 142g two-piece cricket ball to be used
A full length (22 yards or 20.12m) pitch is to be used
Teams can be 11 or 12-aside. Once a team has lost 10 wickets, it is considered dismissed. Therefore for the 12th player to bat, one batter must have retired. Substitute fielders to be rotated with only 11 on the field at any given time, unless the coaches agree that both teams will field 12.
The team batting last is to continue batting until its 30 overs are completed, or it has been dismissed. Passing of the opposition's total does not signal the end of the game
Players must retire at the end of the over in which they reach 30 The coach has the option of retiring players after they have batted at least six overs Retired batters can resume their innings ie the order they retired, after all other batters have been dismissed or are retired.
Bowlers are permitted a maximum of four overs each
All players must bowl at least one over
Overs to be a maximum of six balls, no matter how many wides and/or no balls they include.
Wides and no balls count as an extra run to the batting side If the batting team scores off wides (when the wicketkeeper misses the ball) or no balls (either from hits off the bat, or byes/leg byes) those runs are to be added to the score as well So, a no ball from which a batter hits a boundary would result in five runs to the batting team four to the batter and one to extras.
A wide shall be called by the bowler's end umpire if the ball passes the facing batter more than 75% of the distance from the batter to the return crease on the off side of the wicket, or more than 50% of the distance from the batter to the return crease on the on side of the wicket If the batsman hits the ball it is not a wide
A no ball shall be called by the square leg umpire if the ball passes over the shoulder of the batter on the bounce when the batter is in his/her normal stance or when the ball passes over the waist of the batter on the full when the batter is in his/her normal stance
A no ball shall be called, by the square leg umpire if, after the ball is bowled, it bounces at least twice before reaching the popping crease. (The popping crease is the line 1.22m in front of the stumps). If a delivery does not reach the batter, he/she is permitted to have one free hit at the ball.
If bowlers are clearly having trouble reaching the other end of the pitch on the first bounce, the umpire at the bowler's end should assist by making a mark closer to the batter and advising the bowler to deliver the ball from there. There are no front foot or back foot no balls. This rule is NOT to be used to enable good bowlers to gain an advantage by delivering the ball from closer to the batter.
No fielders except the wicket keeper and off-side slips are permitted within 10 metres of the facing batter.
LBW: normally only back foot appeals should be judged and batters get a warning before being given out LBW and the batsman must always get the benefit of the doubt. Any LBW warnings given should also be brought to the attention of the scorers and be recorded if necessary.
Boundaries are to be agreed upon by coaches before the game begins. The recommended distance is about 35-40 metres.
Two pads, protectors and gloves must be worn by batters and wicket keepers. Helmets are compulsory for batters. It is also required that team coaches ensure the use of mouth guards or helmets for wicket keepers.
