MINI ATHLETICS DAYS
Last week the children from Year 3 and 4 participated in a variety of activities designed to assist them with learning some of the skills required for field events such as discus, shot put and long jump. Thank you to Mrs Tyrrell and the Colour House Captains for leading this great initiative.
CRICKET
Last night I received an email from Tamworth Junior Cricket Association regarding the 2020/2021 Cricket season. The season will begin on Saturday 24th October. Notes about this will be coming home next week as I am still waiting on the link for online registrations. The Junior Blaster and Master Blaster competitions for children in Kinder - Year 2 will also be happening.
THANK YOU
Although it has been a very mixed up season, now is the time to thank the coaches, players, and spectators for the winter season of sports. It certainly was an interesting season with only one term being played for most sports. Fingers crossed that the 2021 winter season will be back to normal where we can all enjoy getting out on a Saturday morning to watch a good match.
NETBALL
Dear Netball Families,
Refunds for the competition fee part of the Tamworth Netball Association Winter Competition for 2020 were sent home via cheque two weeks ago. (Shout out to Lisa Sears for her fast cheque writing skills!). If there is an error, please let me know. Please note that WE WILL NOT BE CHASING UP ANY CHEQUES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENTED. If you keep the cheque in your wallet for 5 years, we will not remind you to present it.
Please keep an eye on the latest COVID updates on the Tamworth Netball Association Facebook page. It is one person per player on the sideline, even if there are no other parents there. Thanks to everyone who has been signing on as a spectator.
The annual pizza party where we hand out trophies will not occur. Instead, I will hand out the trophies on behalf of the coaches, who will give me a little blurb to accompany the trophy. This will occur in Term 4.
Our St Nicholas Netball Club AGM will most likely occur at the end of the term or in the holidays via Zoom, in light of the new restrictions coming into place.
Lastly, I have been getting around and watching some of our netball teams in action. Wow! Their skill level has been improving! I'd love to send a big thank you to the Year 2 Sloths and their coaches, Emily Crockett and Louise Sedon. The Year 2 girls were able to modify their game immensely to help the Year 1 Wild Cats get their first goal! Thank you for understanding and showing great sportsmanship!
Happy playing!

TOUCH FOOTBALL
The season has begun with all our players turning up and enjoying the game.
All players have received information regarding Covid-19 restrictions, in particular only 1 spectator per child, please. At each game, there will be a clipboard to write your name and mobile, please look for this, thankyou.
***Kinder, Yr 1, Yr 2, Yr 3 and Yr 4 teams please note the change in the start time of 4.20 pm to alleviate the congestion of players and spectators leaving and entering the fields for the next round. See you there.
BASKETBALL
Attention current players: Tamworth Basketball is offering a shortened, 6 week Summer Competition to end the year. The competition will run from the 5th Nov - 10th Dec with NO finals. This season will cost $55 per player. Teams will simply be rolled over from this season, meaning no team changes will be made. Teams will only be rolled over if there is enough interest as each team must have 7 players, with the payment of $55 made before the competition starts. (Please note, if there is enough interest in current teams without 7 players, all efforts will be made to fill these teams to allow for inclusion in the competition).
A survey has been emailed to all current families seeking your input on participation in this season (a separate form is to be filled out for each child). Please ensure this form has been completed by Friday 18th September. If you have not received the form, please email Mrs Hofman (rhofman@arm.catholic.edu.au).
