NSWCPS Netball Competition
St Edward's is happy to announce that we will be sending four teams to Penrith to compete in the New South Wales Primary Schools Netball competition to be held in Penrith on the 30th August. We are hoping to send a 12/13 Year girls team, 11 Year girls team, a 10 Year girls team and an 8/9 Years girl team. Accommodation and travel will be arranged and a price is yet to be confirmed. Please keep an eye out in next week's newsletter for this information. Students wishing to participate will have the opportunity to trial for a position in the appropriate team for their age. PLEASE ONLY TRIAL IF YOU ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CARNIVAL.
TRIALS:
Wednesday 3rd August, 11:40am - 11 Years & 12 years
(please note the change in trial days due to the Year 3 excursion next week)
St Edward's Basketball
The Summer Comp will commence on Thursday 3rd August. All registrations must be paid before taking the court. If there are not enough players registered your team will be forced to forfeit. Below is the number of players that have registered for each of the St Edward's teams.
Due to court allocation issues, we have been forced to change the start time of Thursday Nights. First time slot will now be at 4.15pm see timetable below. This is to avoid having 8.40pm timeslots by fitting in an extra slot at 5.05pm on courts 4, 5 & 6. (Council needs at least 15 mins to change courts over for netball)
Note: Only new teams need nominate. Teams from the Winter Comp (1st Comp) are already carried over into the 2nd comp. Same team codes apply, players need to join team again & pay fees via this link
Please notify Mrs Gippel immediately if any of our St Edward's teams will not be playing in the new comp so I can remove them from the Summer Comp
