A reminder that there is now NO BREAK for two weeks due to the floor resurfacing.  The only day off is Queens Birthday Monday.

ALL children NEED a mouth guard to play miniball, so please ensure you have this ready to go.

Team Reports:-

ET Shooters Yr 4

Great first game – everyone played super well and I’d say they would've have had very little left in the tank at the end. It was a busy game.  Player of the day went to Lucas for his fantastic rebounding, finding space to receive the pass and his general hard work today.
