Term 1 Sports have now wound up with Tennis, Sports Time, Flippaball, Water Polo and Rippa Rugby all finishing up in the past week.

Thank you to those parents who transported children to get to games (some weeks it definitely took longer than others towards the end of term!)  Also a big thank you to those parents and supporters who coached and managed the teams.  These teams cannot work without you and we very much appreciate your help.  

Winter Sports 

Overall, there has been great interest for Term 2 and 3 winter school sports teams with 119 registrations, with 14 teams being entered across the school for hockey, netball and basketball, of which 10 of these teams are from our senior school.  Just to put this in perspective, 9 teams were registered school wide in 2018. 

A big thank you to all those who have raised their hands to help out with coaching, umpiring and managing.

There is still the odd space left in some netball and hockey teams, so don't hesitate to get in touch at sports@tauriko.school.nz or 027 233 2676 if your child is interested in playing netball or hockey next term and we will see if we can help out. 

Cross Country Training 

Tauranga Ramblers have restarted their Cross Country training at Waipuna Park, Kaitemako Road, Welcome Bay, the home of cross country running in Tauranga, on Mondays at 4:00pm with Michael Pugh, Ray Wakeford, Glenys Kroon and Malcolm Taylor, for all ages. The training is fun with the aim to make those school cross country races more enjoyable and teach skills needed to run.

Session go for an hour, there is no cost to the training sessions with all ages welcome. Parents and care givers welcome to take part or go for a walk or run in the lovely surroundings.
