EXTRA-CURRICULAR SPORT
Statement of Intent for Children in Sport

At Pillans Point School relationships are at our core. Extra-Curricular sports should be inclusive; fun and relationship building.

Participating in Extracurricular Sports at PPS is about HAVING FUN and PLAYING WITH FRIENDS.

WE DO:

• Form teams based on:
• review of previous terms’/years’ teams
• years / grades as per the codes’ specifications, rules and requirements
• logistical issues i.e. transport/carpooling to allow ALL kids that want to play the chance to do so
• review of previous/current coaches’ feedback to the Sports Coordinator; with final decisions being made by the Sports Coordinator and Principal.
• Embrace and encourage all players in the team. Respecting, valuing and embracing all strengths and weaknesses.
• Focus on having FUN, participation, growing as a team and NOT only on winning.
• Provide equal opportunities to all children, regardless of skill level.
• Build positive relationships within and across teams.
• Show respect and support to all referees and umpires
• Follow the PPS Extra-Curricular Sports Code of Conduct

WE DO NOT:

• Hold trials prior to forming teams
• Make kids feel they are “not good enough” to play in a team
• Give more game time to, or overplay, talented players
• Put down, ridicule or make any players feel inferior
• Turn players away when there are spaces available within a team.
