Richmond are regular winners of the Middlesex West Area Fair Play award. This recognition comes from our opponents in the Area, with each Club voting for the Club which it believes shows the best behaviour during that season's matches.

At all levels of the Club, respect for our opposition is of paramount importance and we ask all Juniors and their parents, carers and other supporters to abide by the following codes of conduct.

Code of conduct for Juniors

• All members must play within the rules and respect officials and their decisions

• Members must wear suitable kit for training and match sessions, agreed by the coach/team manager
• Members must pay any fees for training or events promptly
• Junior members are not allowed to smoke on club premises or whilst representing the club at competitions
• Junior members are not allowed to consume alcohol or drugs of any kind on the club premises or whilst representing the club.

ECB Directives

The England and Wales Cricket Board has issued a number of directives relating to cricket for young people. These govern the number of overs that a medium or fast bowler may deliver consecutively, the wearing of protective helmets for batsmen and wicket-keepers and field placings for young people.

As a responsible club, Richmond adheres to all of these directives.
