Hockey and Netball Parents

Thank you to all the parents who are helping with our sports teams this year, without you our students would not be able to play!

Following are some opportunities to help you grow your skills in each code:

Netball

Umpiring course: 10.30 am, Saturday 8 May, Netball courts.

Please let me know asap if you would like to attend. It would be great to have as many netball parents come to this as possible. We need people to train as umpires because if we don’t have umpires for games they will not earn points in their respective grades.

Hockey

“In the Know” Forums
One representative per every school team is asked to attend only one of the two sessions: Tuesday 11th 7 pm or Wednesday 12th 5 pm – both to be held at Marton School. You are very welcome to send more than 1 rep per team – this session will be very informative for parents and caregivers also!
Material will include -:
– On the same page: Expectations of our Coaches/Managers
– Good Sports and Balance is Better
– Clarification, only if required, of the rules of each grade
– Health & Safety including Covid preparedness
– HNZ’s newly released On-line Coaching Portal and Resource Hub
– Coaching hints, catchy phrases and hints
If you are down as a support person for your child’s team: Please let me know which meeting you wish to attend.
If you are an interested parent/caregiver: Please let me know which meeting you would like to attend.
It would be great to have as many hockey parents come to this as possible.

Netball 2021

Here is a screenshot of a post by the Rangitikei Netball Centre with some information about the up and coming season. I will let you know about game times as the information comes available.

Winter Sports at South Mak

I have attached the list for the Netball and Hockey teams this year.

Thank you so much to those who have offered to help coach, manage and umpire teams. We are still on the lookout for an umpire for the year 7 and 8 netball team,  another manager for the year 7 and 8 hockey teams, and 2 managers for the year 3 and 4 hockey teams.

Thank you to the people who have noticed that I missed some people off my lists and messaged me to let me know. If there are still more students who wish to be part of a team I can still add you to the list. You can email me on: jandrews@southmak.school.nz
