Soccer update -  Notice from NWJSA

URGENT INFORMATION RELEASE –

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

• 2020 SEASON CANCELLED

 

Attention Member Schools & Delegates

 

The North West Junior Soccer Association Board regrets to announce it has decided to cancel it’s 2020 football (soccer) season.

This has occurred after lengthy consideration and in consultation with SA Health, Local Government, Sport SA and our Insurance provider.

 

The decision was based on:

• Children not receiving fair opportunity to play due to the reduction to the number of teams that we would normally be able to accommodate. This is due to the compliance requirements of spacing games resulting in a reduced number of games able to be programmed.

• Running large venues requires complex supervision. We are unable to sufficiently supervise these venues in the current COVID-19 environment to the required compliance level.

• Inability to provide insurance that would enable support in pandemic conditions

There will be no AGM for season 2020.

Please be assured that NWJSA is committed to offering the 2021 season and looks forward to next year.

 

We know this is a difficult decision and we thank-you for your continued support.

Virtual Cross Country @ LNPS

Lockleys North Primary School was a hive of activity last week during PE lessons. All children enthusiastically competed in the Virtual Cross Country, whether they ran or walked the distance. Team spirit and determination was evident during the event with many children wearing their Sports Day colours cheering on their fellow teammates. All children persisted and tried their best as they challenged themselves to run or walk the required distance for their age category. The results have been collected and uploaded to School Sport SA, competing against other schools in SA and Western Australia. 

 

This event was a great way to challenge children's physical abilities and motivate them to be the best they can be. Congratulations to all children at LNPS for their positive attitude and commitment in making this event so successful!
