U5 to U11 Presentation on Sunday
The wait is nearly over, our U5 to U11 Junior Presentation is on this Sunday afternoon at UC Kaleen High School!
Just like the mornings of Kaleen Game Day, parking is competitive. With only a handful of car spots available at the school, we encourage people to park at the playing fields and nearby streets (legally of course) and walk to the High School.
Teams will attend their timeslots for their presentations in the gym. Teams and parents are asked to be ready outside the gym 10 minutes before their session. Teams are to remain for the whole duration of each age group session (30 minutes) so that all team presentations can take place.
After team presentation sessions, team coaches/managers will claim their team’s Domino’s pizza and drinks to distribute to the team.
We ask that teams bring back pizza boxes, drink containers, box that drinks came in and other rubbish back to volunteer staff to process efficiently for us to dispose of to keep the High School clean.
Scotty’s food van will be on hand offering light refreshments (Soft Serve ice cream, Coffee, Milkshakes/Thick Shakes, Cold drinks).
The presentation maps and schedule are available here.
