Cricket Training Shirts

Published January 22, 2021 | By Soraya Hammond

Dear Cricket Community,

It is an expectation that all Toowoomba Grammar School Cricketers wear the 2021 training shirt to training sessions and matches throughout the season – please be reminded that boys must wear full whites for matches.

Please access ‘Cricket Training Shirts 2021’ through Parent Lounge and once the transaction is complete, collection can be made. The TGS Cricket Supporters Group have once again generously subsidised our shirts and, as a result, will cost $25.
 
I would also like to thank our generous sponsors Toowoomba Mortgage Brokers and Keith Dudgeon Cricket Specialist for their support of our program.
 
All collections can be made from the Indoor Nets at the Ground Floor of the Glen McCracken Sports Centre at the following times:

Monday, 25 January (1:00-1:45pm)

  • ALL Year 7 and NEW STUDENTS 

Wednesday, 27 January (1:15-1:45pm)

  • Year 8 and 9 

Thursday, 28 January (12:30-1:00pm)

  • Year 10, 11 and 12

Friday, 29 January (1:15-1:45pm)

  • Students who are yet to collect

Junior school students will receive their training shirts during the trial sessions next week, once payment has been processed.

Please note, cricketers who attended the January Cricket Festival may have already received their training shirt and do not need to order another shirt.

I look forward to seeing you and your son around the grounds over the coming weeks.

Kind regards,

Peter Dein
DIRECTOR OF CRICKET

The kits will include a bat, batting pads, thigh pad and batting gloves. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any helmets, cricket bags or boxes. Once purchased, collection of the kits can be made on Monday, 25 January between the hours of 1:00-1:45pm from the Indoor Nets, located on the Ground Floor of the Glen McCracken Centre.

All teams will be selected on the Thursday evening, prior to each round, and announced on the website and TGS Sports Portal.

**Cricket – Helmet Compliance**

Published January 28, 2020 | By Ben Schuhmacher

Dear Cricket Community,

As mentioned in 2019, TGS will be abiding by the new Helmet regulations being enforced for the 2020 season and beyond.

This requirement is happening as a result of policy changes being implemented by the ICC, Cricket Australia and Queensland Cricket to improve the level of protection provided by helmets.

It is a mandatory requirement for all boys to wear a helmet and it is an expectation that each boy owns their own helmet. 

If your son already owns a helmet, it is an expectation that it meets these new guidelines. Please note that some helmets currently used do not meet the new standards, and all players should verify when purchasing new helmets that they comply with the new requirements. For those boys requiring helmets, please visit the website of our sponsors, Keith Dudgeon Cricket Specialist.

If you are unsure whether your helmet is compliant, click Compliant Helmets.

Before our Round 1 clash with BGS, your son’s coach will ensure your son has met these guidelines.

This mandate is a good thing in terms of ensuring the safety of your son playing this sport.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Ben Schuhmacher

Cricket Helmet Legislation & TGS Helmet Offer

Published August 2, 2019 | By Steve Fryer

TGS CRICKET HELMET OPTIONS ‘

Masuri – Compliant Helmets

Helmets FAQs

 

Dear Cricket Community,

 

“Cricket Australia has announced that at the start of the 2019 – 2020 cricket season, all community cricketers (whether junior or senior) will be required to wear BS7928:2013 compliant helmets AT ALL TIMES when batting, wicket keeping up to the stumps and fielding in close.”

This requirement is happening as a result of policy changes being implemented by the ICC, Cricket Australia and Queensland Cricket to improve the level of protection provided by helmets.

 

To meet this requirement, the TGS Cricket Supporters’ Group would like to offer parents & boys the opportunity to purchase helmets complete with TGS logo. There are two types of Masuri helmets which can be purchased through the parent portal – these prices are well below the recommended retail price.

 

Given production times, orders need to be placed before September 30, 2019 in order for a January collection. Please view the attachments/links which will provide further information.

 

Link 1 – Helmet FAQs (see above)

Link 2 – Masuri – Compliant Helmets (see above)

Link 3 – TGS Cricket Helmet Options, Pricing and Sizing (see above)

LINK TO HELMET RECOMMENDATIONS (& LIST OF COMPLIANT HELMETS)

ORDER PAGE (TGS School Portal – Parent Lounge)

Please keep in mind that it is a mandatory requirement for all boys to wear a helmet and it is an expectation that each boy owns their own helmet. The School will continue to run the ‘Hire-A-Kit’ program for all other Cricket equipment.

 

If your son already owns a helmet, it is an expectation that it meets the current Cricket Australia helmet guidelines as per the second link above. Please also note that many helmets currently used do not meet the new standards, and all players should verify when purchasing new helmets that they comply with the new requirements.

 

This mandate is a good thing in terms of ensuring the safety of your son playing this sport.

 

Yours in Cricket,
