SOUTHERN CROSS CRICKET (SCC) PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Southern Cross Cricket (SCC) is committed to supporting the cricketing community across Australia.

We choose to recognise rising talent under the banner of a Partnership rather than a Sponsorship.

There are 3 ways we are able to assist players. These are:

  1. SCC Junior Ambassador – players aged under 15
  2. SCC Rising Star – players aged 16 – 20
  3. Commercial Contract – National or International Players

Application dates and criteria are listed below.

Before we continue – be sure to understand that sponsorships and partnerships are a two way street, we will help you as a talented and committed cricketer, and you in return will be expected to help us by genuinely representing our brand, our product range and our cricketing community to the highest standards.
