If you are new to registering to cricket, or just need a refresher, here's a quick primer:

• PlayHQ handles all registrations for the season.
• All Cricket Support is via the Cricket Australia support system
• If you don't have a PlayHQ account, you need to create a new PlayHQ account. If you have forgotten your password, try using the "Forgot password?" link on the login page.
• Parents/Guardians should register themselves, then add children/dependents once registered.
• If you are new to cricket registration, you will be asked to create a Cricket ID, which is your Cricket Australia universal login (this is an email address, not the old MyCricketID which is a number).
• If you are a parent who is also playing in seniors, you can register to play at the same time
• If you want to coach or manage, please register (for free) using that option in PlayHQ as it allows us to allocate you to a team easily. This can also be done directly to the team before season start.
• Each registration is processed separately.
• Registration fees will include the compulsory Cricket Australia National Registration Fee (NRF), covering technology improvements and insurance
• If you are eligible for one, make sure you have your Active Kids Voucher number ready.
• PlayHQ handles all payments, you will receive information via email from PlayHQ after registration.
• Merchandise such as club shirts and caps will be fulfilled separately by Kingsgrove Sports this season.

Visit our merchandise page for all the latest information about purchasing KPCC shirts, caps and training gear.

Players in Junior Cricket comp and non-comp automatically qualify for their age group if they are under the age of the group at 31st August 2025.

Example: a player aged 12 on 31st August 2025 would qualify to play in U13, but not U12. A player turning 13 on 31st August 2025 or after would automatically qualify for U14.

Age dispensations are permitted upon request. Parents should email a request for this in the first instance to [email protected] detailing the reasons and the player's playing history.
A submission will be made to the relevant association, which will grant or deny age dispensations after review. Note that the associations may place restrictions on players who have an age dispensation, such as retirement rules, overs bowled or maximum score reached.

Stage-base teams, such as Stage 1 and Stage 2 Girls cricket are based on skill levels rather than age, and as such the age guides are an approximation.
