SPORTS INFORMATION - WEEK 1

Jolene Casey —

For all your up to date sporting information please read below and then visit our school sports website.

Flippa Ball

ET Sharks were in the A Grade final against St Brigid's at the end of Term 1. They played a brilliant game, working well as a team in all areas of the pool. Unfortunately not a win (7-0), but coming 2nd in the grade is to be celebrated for all their amazing effort and determination this season. Player of the day was Harry. Well Done Sharks! We have loved supporting this awesome team, thanks Glenda and Emily (coaches).

Here is some information about the netball season ahead:-

The Netball season for children in Years 1-6 begins on Saturday 12 June. There will be 5 games at the end of Term 2 and 5 games at the beginning of Term 3. Due to the upgrading of the Taieri College netball courts, games will be spread over 3 Taieri Schools this year.

Year 1 players will be completing skills sessions between 9.30am and 10.15am at Taieri College Gym.

Year 2 players will be playing a 5 aside game, using lower hoops and two thirds of a netball court. Games will be in the Taieri College gym between 11.00 am - 12.30 pm.

Year 3 and 4 players will play a 6 aside game at St Mary’s School. Games will be played between 9.20am- 12.30pm. Year 5 and 6 players will play 7 aside games, also at St Mary’s School between 12.30-3.30pm.

Each school will be given a duty time each week as there are not enough Committee Members available on Saturdays to cover all the games and locations.

Fees will remain about the same as last year - Year 1, $15 and Years 2-6 $35. This includes payment to the Taieri Plain Junior Netball Committee, playing skirts, team balls, team bibs for Saturdays.
