Southern is made up of five Member Associations. Each runs its own local competitions and representative teams, up to Under 15 teams. They may also organise Under 18, Senior and Masters teams if they wish. Associations are also responsible for running junior umpiring, coaching and player development courses, with Southern's help.
Our Associations are run by Boards or Executives of committed volunteers. Some also have part-time or full-time staff.
