SPORTS REPORT AROUND THE GROUNDS Mr Peter Le Surf Director of Sport Summer sports are coming to a close and winter sports are starting to get prepared. Indoor hockey semi finals will be played this week and then finals the following week. Our representative girls, across many sports, are gearing up for trials and competition.
Representative Team Trials This week saw the running of the representative team trials for our teams that will compete in the IGSSA competition in Sydney, later in the year. Lots of girls attended the trials and unfortunately there are limited places in each team. With any trials, it can sometimes be tough on girls who missed out on selection. It is at this time that girls can use the disappointment of non-selection to motivate them to work harder to improve for consideration next time.
Campus to City Canter This event is to be held on Saturday March 16. It is a 5km run, jog or walk from UNE into town, along the bike track. There is a sign up sheet on the sports noticeboard for anyone interested.
Representative Swimming Team The PLC Armidale Swimming Team will be heading to Sydney next week on 21 March to compete in the IGSSA Swimming Carnival. This is a very tough swimming meet, however our girls always seem to perform well on the big stage! We wish them every success.
Representative Tennis Team The PLC Armidale Tennis Team will leave for Sydney on Tuesday 26 March to compete in the Tildesley Shield. This is a tournament that has a long history. Tildesley Tennis has been running for over 100 years. Our Tennis squad has been training twice a week since last year and the girls are very confident that they will be able to perform well at this event. We would like to wish them all the very best.
Parents needed! If there are any parents wishing to get involved in managing a sporting team, please let me know. This is not a coaching role. It is just having someone on the sidelines each week, assisting the coach with the management of the team. It could involve jobs such as scoring or just making sure everyone has all the correct equipment. If this sounds like something that you would enjoy doing, please email me, plesurf@plcarmidale.nsw.edu.au I look forward to catching up with everyone on the sideline.
