TEAMS
Teams will be coming out over the next week starting with our U11 and U13 Friday night sides. Older sides and other days will follow soon after.
We ask you please remain patient as we need to get all contact lists together and send communication to each individual side.
TPCC has 30 teams registered to play this season and this may rise over the next few weeks as more registrations come through so it is not a small task sending out all the info.
You will see emails from James Gray with me included. If the below info can't answer one of your questions please email James and I.
All teams will be announced by email by 27 Sept 2024 which will include training details - all registered players (ie registerd in playhq) will receive this email
Training starts week commencing 30 Sept 2024.

TPCC HOLIDAY CAMPS
Please see the link below for our TPCC Holiday Camps. We encourage all kids in Melbourne during the holidays to get down to the nets to practice. The TPCC Holiday Camps are a great way of getting plenty of casual easy going cricket to get in the swing of things.
Kids from other clubs and friends who are new to the game are all welcome.
PRACTICE MATCHES
The weekend before Round 1 we plan to have practice matches for all ages and teams. For anyone in Melbourne there will be a game but if your side doesn't have enough players, you'll join with another TPCC side to play a game.
If you want to play multiple games as available Friday, Saturday and Sunday then more then welcome to just let your Team Manager and Coach know once we have sent you your team email.
Practice match dates - October 4th, 5th, 6th
FIXTURES
Round 1 will be weekend October 11th, 12th and 13th depending on what day you have selected your child to play - Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday
Friday night games are 4:45-7:30pm
Saturday morning games are 8:30/45-11:15/30am (games try to start ASAP)
Sunday morning games are 8:30/45-11:15/30am
Wednesday night (girls only) are 4:45-7:30pm
As with the teams, it is very important that you are patient with the fixtures coming out. All games are played at the same times on each day so it is a jigsaw for the League to get sorted. It's not the same as footy, soccer, basketball etc. which play games 1 after another in different time slots.
When we know the fixture you'll know and if will be on the PlayCricket App which we encourage you to download and search then add Toorak Prahran Cricket Club
We play in the Inner South East Cricket (ISEC) competition
EQUIPMENT
The club has a limited supply of equipment players can borrow for the season. Please contact James Gray and I if wanting to borrow equipment
1 on 1 COACHING
If wanting 1 on 1 coaching and you did not indicate this on the registration please contact Jim Hallam - jendix@jendix.com.au
Jim will then give you all the details of how this works through the club.
GENERAL INFO
