House Athletics - we are ready to win it!

Dear Dragons,

Final, final reminders for tomorrow.

1.    Show up in full PE kit tomorrow or you won’t be allowed to participate

2.    Check with the links below for what you’re signed up for.  If you forget tomorrow your Year Leaders will have a printed list.

3.    Listen carefully to what races are happening at what times.  There will be programmes printed out and on the boards but keep an ear open to the announcers as they will tell you what races are coming up too.

4.    Please, please help out if your friends are sick or injured and can’t compete.  You guys are always amazing at this and I’m really proud to say that last year there wasn’t a single event without a Samui competitor J  I really don’t mind if we come in last, just as long as we have a crack at everything.

5.    Give it 100% and have fun trying!

Looking forward to it!

Mr B

Subject: House Athletics - are we ready to win it?!

Dear Dragons,

After today’s Y8 Volleyball competition (http://samuireddragons.posterous.com/yr-8-inter-house-volleyball-results) only 60 points separate the houses going into House Athletics next Wednesday when there’s 200 points up for grabs! (http://samuireddragons.posterous.com/house-points-updated)

Time to make sure we’re organised and ready for Wednesday 12/12/12.

Ø First job – check what you’re signed up for (links below)

Ø Second job – show up in full PE kit on Wed 12/12/12.  If you’re doing tug-o-war then you will need football boots for added grip!

Ø Third job – put the other houses in their places; we’ve come first and second at House Athletics over the last 2 years, let’s make sure this year’s another first!

Links to the sign up sheets

IMPORTANT – if you’re signed up for Main Event (track and field) and you can’t compete due to illness or injury then it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to find someone to take your place. You need to let me know if this is the case for you.

 

Everyone should be signed up for something.  Let me know if your name is missing.

  

Final version of the rules below.

 

1. Main events: you can sign-up for a maximum of 4 individual events and the relay. (All slots on the sign-up sheet need to be completed – no blanks)

2. Only athletes from Sets 1 & 2 can compete in the 300/400/800m (unless an athlete from PE sets 3 & 4 specifically asks to run)

3. Alternative events: you can only sign up for these if you are not doing any main events. (Not all 16 slots on the sign-up sheet need to be completed)

4. Tug-o-war is an alternative event so you can only sign-up for this event if you are not in main event. (The only exception to this rule is if there is not enough students in a Year Group to fill the main events and the Tug-o-war slots. Only in this circumstance can a main event competitor be allowed to compete in the Tug-o-war)

5. You must wear proper PE kit on the day. If you don’t, you won’t be allowed to compete.

6. The Joker (double points!) can be played only once for a track or field event (but not relay) and only for one gender e.g. Year 7 to Senior boys 100m. If used for discus, it must be played before the pre-event Year 10/11/Senior discus

Can’t wait for a great day on Wednesday! J

Go SAMUI!
