SCSA Remote Learning Competitions -

Starting Friday 8 May

The Secondary Catholic Sports Association (SCSA) have been working on some competitions for schools to be involved in over the remainder of this term. These competitions are:

High Participation Competition

This involves as many students as possible clocking up as many kilometres per week as they can. At the end of each week, a school ‘total’ will be calculated based on submissions, with that total distance divided by the total number of students in your school. Weekly results will be announced and an overall ladder updated with all 23 SCSA schools ranked.

High Performance Competition

This is a timed challenge over set distances with students able to submit their times via the submission form on the SCSA website. This competition will be categorised in two events – a 3km and a 5km run. Both events are open to any age group/year. For example, a Year 7 or a Year 12 student can do the 3km or 5km run. Students can use any fitness app for this – Strava, Nike Running, Map My Run, Runkeeper, etc. You can track and record your times each time you complete your run time and submit only your ‘fastest’ time through the SCSA website at the end of each week via a screenshot of your phone, watch or device with GPS data to confirm the date, time and distance.

The overall winning school for the High Participation Competition at the end of Term 2 will be awarded a SCSA High Participation in Running Shield.

The overall winners of the High Performance Competition will be awarded to the fastest three students for the 3km run and the fastest three students for the 5km run from all SCSA schools and will be awarded trophies at the end of Term 2.

Good luck and happy running!!!

Trick shot competition

Students from all SCSA schools are invited to join in this competition by submitting their video entries of their own skills or creative trick shots. There are no set rules or requirements – you just need to be creative and skillful as you can be and use your downtime between classes and study sessions to have some fun. You can set up your phone or device and plan your trick shot, record it and submit it. Submissions must be made via a short video uploaded on the SCSA website.

Each video must be edited by you so that the footage provided is just the trick shot/skill itself and must not exceed more than one minute.

The competition runs each week with some videos being published on the SCSA website and social media (SCSA Facebook page). A tick box will appear on the submission page to authorise SCSA to publish the video online on its website and Facebook page.

In the final week of Term 2, five of the most outstanding videos will be selected by the SCSA committee as the overall winners and a trophy will be awarded to each winner.
