TOUCH FOOTBALL
Infants teams will play their last game this coming Monday, 20th May, 2019. Hopefully they have enjoyed the experience and developed some of their skills.
The Primary competition goes up to and including 3rd June, 2019.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU to all of the Parents / Carers who have assisted with the teams, either by coaching, being on the field (for our infants children) or simply being there to support the team. Your involvement is crucial and VERY much appreciated.
CODE OF CONDUCT
As the winter sports for the year are all beginning, this is a timely reminder for players, coaches and parents of the code of conduct expected at St Nicholas.
Those parents who have very kindly volunteered to coach a team are to be listened to and all instructions to be followed by players both at training and when competing. Should you have an issue with your child's coach please speak to them privately without your children being present. Show respect for your coaches and their decisions.
Parents should not interfere or enter the playing field during a game as the on field officials should be left to adjudicate. If parents have concerns they should approach the coach at a break and not the children.
Should a player, coach or parent not respect this code of conduct while representing St Nicholas it may prevent their inclusion in teams in the future as this is not the image that we wish to portray in the wider community.
