As in all our team sports, we will need parents to coach and/or manage a team. This is a very rewarding role to fill and a great opportunity to create lasting memories. Our sports coordinator can give you some help and tips if needed. Unfortunately, without parent help we won't be able to enter a team.

The COACH'S role is to work on skills and team play associated with the game. This usually involves one practice during the week (lunchtimes or after school), and supporting the team at most games.

- The MANAGER'S role is to make sure everyone has the information they need like when and where games are   played and practices held, or if a game is cancelled. This is the person to communicate with if you are away.

- Our two SPORT COORDINATOR roles are: 

  Firstly, SUSANNE in the office will send out initial information, form teams with a coach and manager, and       collect payments. 

  Secondly, SHINADE (teacher in Y7/8) is available to help a bit at practices if needed, support coaches and   managers with any issues with students at practices or games, and ramp up support around the school for   sports teams e.g. in assemblies and running once-off fun sport lunchtime opportunities.

A note about costs:
The fees above include all affiliation, umpire and game fees as well as an extra $12 per player as below.
$12 per player per sport covers additional expenses relating to team sports (first aid, renewal of sports uniforms, gifts for coaches/managers, and a contribution towards sports prize giving trophies).
- First aid kits are available for the coach or manager to collect from the office for the season and then return to the office. These include basic supplies for injuries related to the game, but not ice or medications.
- Sports uniforms are issued to students by the school and need to be kept in reasonable condition, any damages will need to be paid for. We aim to save up towards long-term renewal of shirts every 7-8 years.
