Club Policies

TOGETHER AS ONE. ALL IN.

For the past 3 years, our One Club philosophy has represented who we are, a club where juniors and seniors, men and women, all abilities, all cultures, families, volunteers and supporters come together as one club, one community. But being one club is more than simply belonging to the same club. It's about what we are prepared to put in for each other.

So, what’s the next step in our story? For us, it's now about taking that sense of unity and turning it into action.

Introducing the next chapter in the Seaford Tigers Cricket Club story, our new club slogan: Together as One, All In.

This is about moving beyond simply being one club and asking ourselves: what does it mean to be All In?

Being All In isn't just about scoring runs, taking wickets or winning games. It's about the little things that make a club strong. 

It's about being there for your teammates, celebrating their success, encouraging them when things aren't going their way and backing each other on and off the field.

It's helping pack up after training, putting the chairs away, lending a hand in the kitchen, setting up the ground, helping a coach, welcoming a new player or staying behind when there is a job to be done. It's about parents, players, coaches, volunteers and supporters all recognising that we each have a part to play.

At the Tigers, we want everyone to feel that they belong and that their contribution matters. You don't have to be the best player, or a captain or on the committee. Sometimes being All In simply means noticing what needs to be done and getting stuck in.

Together as One, All In is our commitment to each other, to our teammates, our families, our volunteers and our community.

It is about showing up. Pitching in. Backing each other. Taking responsibility. And making Seaford Tigers a club where not only do you participate, but you belong. Because when everyone gives a little, the whole club becomes stronger.

Together as One. All In.

GOOD SPORTS LEVEL 3 ACCREDITED CLUB

The Seaford Tigers Cricket Club is proud to be a Good Sports Level 3 accredited club. Sporting clubs such as ours play a significant role in the community and have a responsibility to our members and their families.

• Organising safe and responsible social events and finding alternate prizes/fundraiser, rather than alcohol.
• Thinking ahead and ensuring players and members get home safely after functions.
