Good evening, all
WOW, we have hit the beginning of December, and the Christmas period is almost upon us.
Next week, Friday 12 December, marks our Christmas 'Break up' and we have some fun things planned for the evening. We will then take a small break, returning on the 9th January, but watch our social channels for some out-of-program activities during that time.
To Under 9s and U13s, you have a Coaching night, so to the parents, it is a GREAT night to assist in the Canteen or learn the track systems and assist the team.
Another quick heads up - to be eligible to compete at Regional Championships in February, athletes must have competed (and have results recorded) at four (4) centre evenings before nominations close in late January .... So if you haven't been much, you may want to start getting some results in the system.
REMINDER ON SOME IMPORTANT OFFICIAL THINGS
Please remember - we are all volunteers. We appreciate everyone who sticks their hand up to assist on the night. That said, please remember that, to ensure the track program is completed in a reasonable timeframe, it has 'PRIORITORY' status in the program. This means if an age group is called to track, please move as quickly as possible to the marshalling area. Remember Age Marshalls, just because you see a free event station, it does not mean you can automatically 'jump in' - the age group may have been called to track.
Dogs are still not allowed at the grounds on Friday evenings.
Springwood falls under Queensland Government Legislation where Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, is banned across Queensland at or within 10 metres of playing and viewing areas during organised under-18 sporting and recreational events.
Please keep ALL balls off the field.
The High Jump Mats are OUT-OF-BOUNDS unless being supervised by a coach or parent.

COACHING
Ever thought about coaching?! As you can see, we can only offer coaching around our coaches and their schedules, which leads me to introduce the following initiative.
Hey Sharkie parents,
We're excited to announce an awesome opportunity coming up for parents to get involved and help our club grow!
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the experience and skill development for our athletes, we're looking for interested parents to complete a Level 1 Queensland Athletics coaching course, and we're covering the cost!
Here's the deal:
If you're interested in learning to coach and advancing your skill set, we want to hear from you!
We'll cover 50% of the course cost upfront, and if you commit to weekly or fortnightly coaching for the rest of the season, we'll cover the remaining 50%!
Not only will you be supporting our club and athletes, but you'll also gain valuable skills and experience.
If you're keen to get involved and make a difference, please reply to this post or send me a message expressing your interest. We'll provide more details on the course and next steps.
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to be part of our club's growth and development!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Coach Jez
