Tuesday, 20 October

Good evening Sharkies,

This Friday is Relay Night! Every athlete will take part in their usual field events, while also getting the opportunity to experience relays.

I’ll be taking final relay nominations on Friday evening, with teams to be published in our closed Springwood Sharks Community Group on Facebook. Please check your athlete’s nominations once teams are published and let us know as soon as possible if any adjustments are needed.

Age Marshal Briefings

We hope our Age Marshal Briefing Sessions will be a helpful addition to Friday nights. These short briefings give us an opportunity to share key information about the evening’s program and, just as importantly, give Age Marshals the chance to raise any questions or concerns.

It’s a two-way conversation designed to help us provide your age group with the support it needs and keep the evening running as smoothly as possible.

Wet Weather Process

With storm season upon us, a quick reminder about our Wet Weather Process.

We know families appreciate as much notice as possible, so we aim to make any weather-related decisions between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm.

If the program needs to be cancelled or modified for safety reasons, we’ll post updates on our social media channels; and email the primary contact address on your athlete’s registration.

Please make sure you’re following our socials. A like, comment or interaction with our posts also helps the algorithms keep Springwood Sharks updates appearing in your feed.

Thanks, as always, for your continued support. We’re looking forward to a great Relay Night and seeing everyone at the track on Friday!
