Summer Sport Trials
A final reminder for those students who are involved in Representative Sport for Term 4 Summer, there are final trials before team this weekend, Saturday 12 September. Sessions are 90 minutes in duration and, in adhering to COVID-19 protocols, students will be separated by grade for these trials. Click here to view your session times and venue.
The subjective nature of such trials means that students are only “as good as they are on the day” but to give them all the best possible chance to be seen over the last four weeks, extra coaching staff were called upon to grade and assist. As outlined on Redlands Pulse teams are fluid and movements will occur from Round 7 onwards once we commence our season in Term 4. I expect there to be multiple changes in Basketball as the restrictions on our trials prevented us from trialling Yrs 5 and 6 students against each other on the same court in competitive matches.
Redlands teams are ‘fluid’, meaning teams may change week to week depending on three main criteria: Ability – in direct comparison to other students on the team; Attendance – any student who misses two trainings or two games a season unrelated to sickness may be moved; and Attitude – this is based on behaviour at trainings, on game day and not limited to the sporting arena.
Cross Country Carnival
Our Carnival, scheduled for Thursday 17 September, will proceed with a few minor changes. Permission and notification for this event were emailed to you last week via Engage. To adhere to the COVID protocols, students will be transported to and from the venue and run in grades rather than age groups. Using their entrant numbers from the Athletics Carnival, results will then be split post event based on their age groups so age champion can be presented. To view the course please click here.
