Lifestyle cricket is a concept that allows cricket to be played socially and it fits in and around our everyday lifestyle. In a society where a player's commitment to the traditional club structure is becoming more difficult for many reasons (time poor, work and family commitments), alternative options to playing cricket need to be considered.

Cricket Tasmania is encouraging individuals and clubs to look into non-traditional cricket options. One such option is focusing on "lifestyle" cricket alternatives to traditional cricket and can include:

• Beach Cricket
• Street Cricket
• Corporate Cricket
• Backyard Cricket

Lifestyle cricket offers a number of advantages for clubs to explore. Clubs that are looking to be fully inclusive within the community (male/female, young/old); the lifestyle cricket concept will assist in achieving this focus and can lead to an increase in club membership and a vibrant and diverse club atmosphere.
