Canterbury Sports and new tennis players

Canterbury Sport

1.              Triathlon  There will be a changed course this year, as alterations are still happening on the bike course.  Maps will be on our website www.primarysportscanterbury.org.nz within the week. The Waimairi Surf Life Saving club will assist on boards in the water.  We will also be using transponders on ankle straps to speed up results and save on administration time.  Thanks to Pub Charity for their donation to allow us to also use this system for the duathlon and cross country events.

The intermediates will also run in their age groups with the primary school competitors and there will be one set of results for both.

2.              Website A copy of the information in the 2014 Sports Directory is all there at www.primarysportscanterbury.org.nz .  There is a link to the website on this site.

4.              Swimming please note that the 9 and 10 years events will begin the day at 9am.  This will be followed by 11 & 12 years and open events, beginning at 11am.  This is to try to have less numbers waiting for events at any one time.  We have changed to a new venue at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre and will be trying to allow spectators in to view this year.

8 Fernside School students entered into the world of competition tennis today. They absolutely nailed the etiquette side of the event representing Fernside Tennis Club so well, as did their supporting families. They looked so smart and were smiling a lot. The aspect that took them by surprise was how competition affected their shots. When points mattered nerves entered into the mix. This is what makes top performances so special. As I told the players - nerves affect the performance of those at the Olympics so they were in good company.

Look to the pages for a relaxedu tournament coming up and a netball night on 17th
