Seaford College SPORT
Wednesday, 1st October, 2025
Welcome from the Director of Sport
Another brilliant week of Prep Sport ahead!
Hockey takes centre stage this week with all age groups involved in an extensive fixture list. It is fantastic to see so many of our girls embracing the sport and making such rapid progress. Best of luck to all those representing Seaford in the IAPS tournament, a brilliant occasion to test yourselves, showcase your skills and most importantly enjoy the experience with your teammates.
Netball also continues to grow from strength to strength, with another tournament on the calendar this week. The improvement across the groups is plain to see, and it has been wonderful to witness the determination and confidence with which the girls are playing.
Rugby has a slightly quieter week, but this gives a valuable chance for some quality learning, coaching and development. Building strong habits and understanding the finer details of the game will make the fixtures to come even more enjoyable.
Golf is booming with record numbers keen to play. Long may this continue! Let’s make sure, though, the etiquette across Seaford Sport matches our enthusiasm, better than what we saw from both spectators and players at the Ryder Cup…
And that brings me to this week’s message. Sport is emotive: it is fun, challenging and competitive. These elements are what make it special. But the mark of a true sportsperson is not just in how you play, but in how you behave. Compete to your best, push your limits, strengthen your teammates’ strengths, but also uphold the values that make sport great. Tunnel off your opposition in rugby, clap an opposition goal in netball and help a fallen player onto their feet, when it is right to do so.
This is the Seaford Way.
Keep your standards high, show kindness to yourself, to your teammates and to your opposition. Enjoy every match, every moment and every challenge.
Mr Christian Head Director of Sport

Medical Provision
This week, we will be supported by the Seaford College Physio Team and our Medical Centre.
Additional Medical Support
To continue to ensure that we are providing proactive, gold-standard care to our students, the school is in partnership with Return2Play, the UK’s leading sports medicine partners for schools. Feedback from other schools and parents utilising their expertise is strong, while our own experience has been overwhelmingly positive thus far.
If you have any queries regarding your account, then please get in touch with Return2Play directly via hello@return2play.org.uk and they will be happy to help. The helpdesk runs 7 days a week.
Wet Weather and Cancellations
As a team, we will always do everything within our control to ensure fixtures and recreational activities go ahead as scheduled. Any changes to the schedule will be communicated via the respective sports coaches and clarion call.
Dogs on the School Site
We are a dog-friendly site; however, can I remind all parents that dogs should always be on a lead while onsite, and should not be on the field of play. If challenged by a member of staff, please be polite, respect the campus rules and remember that the safety of our students is paramount.
Parents and Supporters – Code of Conduct
For our core values (RESPECT, TEAMWORK, COURAGE, TRUST) to be upheld and our sports programme to be truly successful, it takes the cooperation of all involved – players, coaches, officials, staff, spectators and parents. The College and the staff have spent some time and effort reinforcing these sporting values within Seaford, and we believe it is essential that we include parents and friends of the College in this process.
One of the key questions we ask all supporters to consider is:
‘How does our touchline behaviour shape character and enhance the enjoyment for all the players during the game?’
Please let the coaches coach so that you can enjoy the parental match day experience. As a team and a college, we value performance and desired learning behaviours over the scoreboard – win, lose or draw, it is about the experience and the students making memories with their friends. Thank you for your support with this! Successful College sport is built upon strong partnerships between the students, parents and the College.
We look forward to seeing you all on the sidelines, both home and away, and thank you for your continued support of the Seaford Sport programme.
