Reconciliation Round 13/14/15th NOV
The Reconciliation Round for Community and Premier clubs for the 2020/21 season will take place during NAIDOC week on November 13, 14 & 15 2020. Cricket Australia encourages clubs around Australia to celebrate and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples and cultures on that weekend.
As a unified movement across Australian cricket one consistent act encouraged for all clubs across the country on that day is for both teams and umpires to form a pre-match Barefoot Circle to demonstrate your commitment to Reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australian. Stand barefoot together as a sign of support and a commitment to walk together toward reconciliation.
Once the commitment is made share images of your commitment on social media using the hashtag
#reconciliationround
Home Team Coaches to lead with an ‘Acknowledgment of Country’ during the barefoot circle:
“We would like to acknowledge that this game is being held on Aboriginal land and recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of Whadjuk -Bindjurep Noongar people of this land.”
