Why SOFF OCC
Cricket made easier for visiting players
Choose the right standard
Our six-level framework, separate batting and bowling profiles, and example videos help us place you in cricket that is challenging, enjoyable and safe.
Know the match status
Every fixture clearly shows whether it is open for booking, confirmed, guaranteed, full, changed or cancelled.
How it works
From interest to match day
- Create a verified SOFF Player Account.
- Complete your cricket profile. Select separate batting, bowling and wicketkeeping levels.
- Choose a published fixture. Check its level, format, location, price and current status.
- Book and pay. Your place is recorded against the fixture.
- Wait for confirmation if required. Open fixtures become confirmed only after the published threshold and other operational requirements are met.
- Receive your match briefing. SOFF sends the final venue, reporting time, team placement and practical instructions.
- Play and improve your profile. After the game, SOFF may update your internal playing assessment to improve future matching.

Playing levels
Six levels—from introductory to premier
SOFF uses six broad levels: Introductory, Recreational, Experienced Recreational, Competitive Club, Advanced Club and Premier.
Your batting and bowling levels may be different. A player can, for example, be a Level 3 batter and a Level 2 bowler. Honest self-assessment helps us build better matches.
Travelling with friends, a club or an academy?
SOFF can prepare a separate quotation for group cricket. Possible experiences include club tours, academy visits, reunions, corporate or alumni matches, family and friends’ games, and private cricket days.
The programme can be cricket-only or combined with agreed accommodation, transport, meals and travel services.
Need help beyond the boundary?
Where available, SOFF may arrange optional services such as accommodation, airport transfers, match transport, meals and selected travel experiences. These services are quoted separately and confirmed only after the scope and payment arrangements are clear.
You may also book only the cricket and arrange the rest of your visit independently.

Fair value
Built for repeat participation
SOFF intends to earn a reasonable return while keeping ordinary cricket accessible to as many overseas players as practical. Standard fixtures will be priced for sustainable operations and repeat participation. Higher pricing may apply when an experience carries genuinely higher costs or special value—for example, a premium venue, private event or specially arranged celebrity participation.
Clear cricket. Clear status. No false promises. Every listed fixture displays its playing level, format, location, price, booking status, minimum participation threshold and confirmation deadline. An open fixture is not yet confirmed. Once SOFF confirms a match, booked players receive the final venue and participation briefing. SOFF does not promise runs, wickets, a particular batting position, a fixed number of overs or a particular result. We do promise to organize each confirmed fixture in good faith, match standards as responsibly as possible and communicate material changes promptly.
