Friday sees us return to normal programming after our Coles Community Round. Apologies to the costume winners—emails with your prizes will be sent this evening.
U12S and U9S, you are on a coaching program, so parents, it would be great if you could make yourself available to assist in the canteen or the track teams this Friday night.
We are keeping an eye on the weather forecast, as it currently appears that tomorrow night's program may be impacted, BUT we will monitor and assess tomorrow. I just want to remind everyone of our wet weather procedure: we will make a call on proceeding by 4:30pm at the latest. Rest assured, we will attempt to make the call as early as possible.
A couple of important dates have been added to our Competition Calendar: Friday 20 Feb and Friday 27 Feb. These have been set aside for our Sharks 'Unleashed' event (aka Centre Championships).
For those who were not with us last year (despite the Cyclone stopping us from running it), Sharks Unleashed is an alternative to 'Centre Championships'.
Tiny Tots and U6S will compete in a mini-olympics over the two weeks.
U7s and U8s participate in the PB Challenge - where it's not about where you finish in an event, it's about how much you have improved from the start of the season.
U9 to U12 participate in the All-Star Challenge across all events.
U13 and Up have the Ultimate Showdown, competing in Throws, Jumps, Runs and Multi-(1 jump, 1 throw and 1 track)
Further details will follow but at this stage, just save the dates.

HARTS SOUTH EAST REGIONAL RELAYS RUNDOWN
What a great day was had by all on the Regional Relays last Sunday. There were a lot of smiling faces, athletes giving it their all, and teammates having a blast. Whether your athlete set a Regional Record, Qualified for States Relays, Did a PB, or simply gave it their best, we all should be proud.
Springwood contributed to acquiring the service of a professional photographer (and her team), and the results are fantastic - I believe there are 600+ Springwood Athletes
photos and all are available for free to view and download here:
You can see the results here:
Springwood had 30 teams qualify for State Relays on Saturday, 13 December. If your athlete's name appears here, please reply and let me know if they want to complete on the day. It does cost $7 per event and can be paid for in the clubhouse or online here

Coaching
Our upcoming coaching program kicks back up this week - with sessions scheduled for Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. We also have another Sprints session scheduled with Coach Vicki, but are just awaiting a confirmation on the day it will occur next week.
On the subject of coaching, Springwood is keen to talk to any parent who is interested in developing their coaching skill with the view to expanding both our weekday and Friday night coaching programs. Just reply here for more information or talk to Coach Jez on Friday night.
