CRICKET
I received information last week that cricket will start on 6th November. Please keep an eye out on Compass for how to register for this.
YOU NEED TO CLICK ON EVENTS ON COMPASS TO FIND THE CRICKET AND FUTSAL REGISTRATIONS
The levels are below
Junior Blaster - children in Kindergarten and Year 1 2021. (8am - 9am)
Master Blaster - children in Year 2 and Year 3 2021. (9:30am - 11am)
Year 4/5 - children in Year 4 2021. (8:30am - 10:30am)
Year 5/6 - children in Year 5 2021. (8:30am - 10:30am)
Year 6 - children in Year 6 2021. (8:30am - 11:30am)
I ask that you DO NOT register your child in the wrong age / year group as it causes issues with organising teams and having the numbers required. Cricket is one sport that does not have reserves and it is not fair to the children who have waited their time to reach a certain age group to then have younger, often less skilled children playing in their team.
I am also asking for parents to volunteer to help out by either coaching, managing or scoring for the team. We are still in desperate need of a coach for the Year 4 team.
TOUCH FOOTBALL
On Monday we had a great start back to afternoon touch football.
The students played with great energy, enthusiasm and St Nicholas School's sportsmanship was clearly evident. Thank you parents for sticking with the competition and getting your child to the field on time.
This is the current message from Tamworth Touch Football Association
The primary competition will start Monday 25th October 2021 and run through to 13th December 2021. There will be no finals series and our last day will be a Gala Day with plenty of activities and games for everyone.
The cost will be $25.00. Any players that registered and paid $50.00 will be entitled to a refund. We are currently working on how this will work. We will be accepting new teams and players.
NOTE: COVID SAFE INSTRUCTIONS -
All people attending the gathering must be:

BASKETBALL
At this stage Basketball will resume on October 26th, playing 8 rounds and finishing on the 16th December. Teams that were registered in Term 3 will be the teams that will play. There is no need to do anything except turn up to play.
