Youth Fast Bowling Policy
(Adopted by FTGDCA 2003)

Medium Pace or Fast Bowlers
Bowlers of medium pace or faster, as determined by the umpire, are broadly defined as those for whom the wicket keeper would normally stand back or any bowler who is not considered a spinner. 

    
Bowling Limitations
Bowlers shall be limited to a maximum of consecutive overs in any one spell and to a maximum of daily quota as follows :-
Age                         Consecutive Overs                        Daily Quota
Under 19                                8                                                        20
Under 17                                 6                                                       16

Spin/Slow Bowlers
Bowling spells are not applicable however daily quotas as above apply.  (eg U/17 – 16 overs)

Break Between Spells – Length of Break
Refer FTGDCA Junior Rule Book – Rule 8.17

Change of Bowling Type  (changing from fast to slow)
If a bowler begins with medium pace or faster and changes to slow bowling during the day’s play, that bowler remains subject to the playing conditions throughout the match.

Responsibility of Captains & Umpires
Captains must notify umpires on the team sheet (senior matches only) any U/19 or U/17 players to whom this playing condition applies.   It is the responsibility of the captains and umpires to ensure that this playing condition adhered to.

Please Note – This policy is applicable only to the match in which the under age player is involved and not a combination of junior and senior overs bowled on the same day.
