VOLUNTEER HOUR OPPORTUNITIES

UMPIRING AND POLICY FORMATION ($$$)

The umpiring and policymaking pathway within the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board is designed for students who are deeply invested in the laws, structure, and governance of cricket. This pathway is intended for enthusiasts who enjoy rule interpretation, consistency, and the behind-the-scenes decision-making that keeps competitions fair and organized. Participants contribute not only on the field as umpires, but also off the field by helping shape how scholastic cricket is regulated statewide.

Students who are part of the Dallas Regionals and wish to serve as umpires are required to pass an entry qualification test that evaluates their knowledge of the Laws of Cricket, decision-making ability, and understanding of sportsmanship. Those who successfully qualify may umpire under the Dallas Cricket Board, with the possibility of receiving paid bonuses when officiating matches conducted by the Irving Cricket Federation. After passing the entry test, students receive an official certification and are granted access to a free umpiring course provided by the North Texas Cricket Association. Completion of this course qualifies student umpires to officiate matches across all Texas Scholastic Cricket Board competitions statewide.

Students selected for the policymaking track operate separately from on-field officiating. Policy makers work directly with TSCB board directors to review, draft, and refine competition rules, playing conditions, and governance standards. This panel functions as a rule-setting body for scholastic cricket in Texas, similar in structure to how the Marylebone Cricket Club governs the Laws of Cricket internationally, but adapted specifically for high school competition. Students from the Dallas Regionals who wish to participate in policymaking are also required to pass the same entry qualification test to ensure a consistent standard of rule knowledge and judgment.

At the highest level of progression, the Fall 2026 state tournament will feature professional umpires alongside the top-performing student umpire from across Texas. This student umpire will be selected based on performance and evaluations, flown to Houston to officiate at the Prairie View complex, and compensated for their role. This pathway establishes a clear, merit-based progression for students who excel in umpiring and cricket governance while maintaining professional standards across the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board.

MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS 

The Media and Communications pathway within the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board is responsible for managing and representing the public-facing identity of scholastic cricket across Texas. This pathway focuses on handling official social media platforms, coordinating collaborations, and showcasing what TSCB represents to schools, players, partners, and the broader cricketing community. The objective is to ensure that teams, tournaments, and achievements are communicated professionally and consistently, reflecting the scale and legitimacy of the organization.

Students involved in this pathway take part in active media operations, including match coverage, player interviews, content creation, and promotional storytelling across TSCB competitions. Media participants help translate on-field action into public narratives that highlight performances, milestones, and the growth of youth cricket statewide. This role goes beyond posting content and instead centers on representing the organization’s voice, credibility, and external image.

This pathway is led and guided through collaboration with Hit Fantasy, whose media leadership serves as the head media representatives for the Collegiate Cricket League, which oversees more than 50 university teams across the United States, and as media representatives for the National Cricket League, an annually inaugurated competition associated with players such as Sachin Tendulkar and Chris Gayle. These roles establish Hit Fantasy’s credibility within collegiate and professional cricket media and provide students with exposure to professional standards, workflows, and expectations used at higher levels of the sport.

Through this pathway, students play a direct role in shaping how the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board is viewed beyond the field of play. Participation emphasizes responsibility, accuracy, and consistency, ensuring that the external image of scholastic cricket in Texas reflects the seriousness, organization, and long-term vision of the competitions being built statewide

LOGISTICS 

The Logistics pathway within the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board focuses on communication, coordination, and operational control across both online systems and on-ground execution. This pathway is designed for students who are organized, reliable, and capable of managing moving parts across teams, schedules, and platforms without things breaking.

At the Dallas Regionals level, a designated logistics manager is responsible for handling match scheduling, coordinating updates, and managing the Dallas Regionals page on the CricClubs system. This role serves as the primary point of contact for any edits, corrections, or changes related to fixtures, team listings, match details, and official postings for the Dallas Regionals. Accuracy and responsiveness are critical, as this role directly affects teams, officials, and tournament flow.

Beyond digital coordination, logistics participants support real-time communication between teams, organizers, umpires, and board leadership to ensure smooth execution before, during, and after match days. This pathway operates at the core of tournament operations, requiring consistency, accountability, and strong time management.

Based on the quality of work, level of commitment, and sustained performance, logistics leaders may progress into the highest administrative roles within the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board. Students who demonstrate reliability and leadership through this pathway are strong candidates for formal administrative appointments, including secretary-level positions, reflecting the importance and trust placed in logistics within the organization.

DESIGN  

The Design Team pathway within the Texas Scholastic Cricket Board is responsible for shaping the visual identity and public presentation of scholastic cricket across Texas. This pathway focuses on creating high-quality designs that represent TSCB at a broader level, ensuring the organization’s image is consistent, professional, and recognizable across platforms and regions.

Students in the Design Team work closely on creating posters, graphics, and visual materials used to promote tournaments, teams, and major initiatives on official social media pages and public-facing platforms. These designs are actively used to communicate TSCB’s presence, credibility, and scale to schools, players, partners, and audiences nationwide. Accuracy, consistency, and strong branding standards are central to this role, as design directly shapes how the organization is perceived.

Through connections with the National College Cricket Association, which represents and coordinates more than 50 university teams across the United States, Design Team members may also collaborate on collegiate-level jersey concepts and visual assets. This can include contributing to jersey designs and branding elements where student designers may have their signature or emblem featured on official university team apparel. These opportunities require professionalism and design quality aligned with collegiate competition standards.

Posters and visual assets created by the Design Team are used to promote Texas Scholastic Cricket Board initiatives across social media and digital platforms, helping ensure that scholastic cricket in Texas is represented accurately and consistently across the country. Participation in this pathway emphasizes quality of work, commitment, and responsibility, positioning the Design Team as a key pillar in how TSCB is visually represented beyond the field of play
