WHY ENTER A TEAM?
For so many, cricket has become less of an option primarily because of the length time it is traditionally played over and as such traditional club membership has declined. The Slam is designed to not only provide a format and style of cricket that is more convenient and appealing to those our game has lost, but it also undertakes marketing work on behalf of ALL its teams to bring them new members.
Established Clubs - whether you're wanting to provide more cricket for your existing members, offer a competitive introduction to senior cricket for your juniors, or find yourself new members of any level, The Slam is the perfect addition to your playing options.
