FRIDAY'S SHARKS UNLEASHED PROGRAM
Happy Hump Day, everyone!
We hope you all had a safe and dry weekend last week. This season, we have been rather fortunate, with only a few Friday evenings missed due to weather, so fingers crossed, we will be able to navigate the next month of Fridays. Yes, that is right, only four weeks left in the season (where did that go?).
Now that we are thinking 'END OF SEASON', save the date - Sunday 29 March for our 3End of Season Event. Further details will follow soon, but just save the date for now.
FRIDAY'S SHARKS UNLEASHED
Friday night sees the start of our 'Sharks Unleashed' Championships.
Some KEY information re: the next two weeks)
For Turbo Tots and U6s, it is a standard centre evening program for you, with all the fun and skill development you normally get. Your 'Mini-Olympics' will occur next Friday night (27 February).
For U7s and U8s, you will all receive a PB Challenge card (Shown below). Over the next two weeks, you will test yourself to improve the 'MARK' (The first recorded time/distance/height for an event). You will be rewarded for every 'star' you achieve each week.
For U9 to U12s, you will receive points for every event you do based on your results - the more events you do, the more points you will achieve over the two weeks, with an overall points winner being awarded as Age Group All-Star Champion.
For Under 13 and U14 to U17s we will be awarding based on Sprints Champion (100m, 200m, Short and Long Hurdles), Distance Champion (400m, 800m, 1500m), Jumps Champion (High, Long, Triple) and Throws (Discus, Javelin, Shot Put)
There will be awards for 'EVENT' winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) across all events in all age groups U9+ and up
For the U9 - U17 Athletes, the overall Champions will not be awarded on the night (we have to do some calculations)
For all age groups, you will remain together as a single group and move as and when directed.

Springwood had contributed to having Jo Harlow attend and take some great photos - I have trawled and downloaded most Springwood shots (only web quality) here, especially if you don't want to give your email.

COACHING
Coaching continues for the next four weeks (right up until LAQ McDonalds State Championships (March 20 - 22).
Coach Jez is currently putting together a program for the remainder of the season and would love to hear from anyone with an athlete competing in the McDonald’s State Championships in March. To get you prepared, please let us know which event (s) you would like a session for and what day/time would best suit you. We will try and organise sessions for all who want them. These sessions would be open to all Springwood athletes (Age dependant)
