Changes to School Sport ACT

After consulting with our Belconnen sport team, from this year there will no longer be the selection in Belconnen regional teams. Instead, this year various sports will be hosting gala days for schools to attend. We will enter teams based on student interest. Please let us know if your child is interested in any event upcoming. A list of events can be found on the SSACT website. This also means that the trial processes have changed for school sport. Students will just need to attend open trials for their particular sport. Sports and details of their trials can also be found on the SSACT website. www.schoolsportact.asn.au

Please see below for the details on Athletics:

Trials for 12&U Track and Field ACT Team

The School Sport Australia 12&U Track and Field Championships will be taking place in Darwin, NT this year and due to their weather conditions, the event has moved to 18-23 September, from its traditional dates in December. This means a much earlier selection process is required.

The ACT Team Selection Trial dates are Wednesday 20 March - 4.30pm - 6.45pm AND Tuesday 26 March - 4.30pm - 6.45pm. The venue for both dates is Woden Park Athletics Track, Phillip ACT

Students must meet selection criteria requirements, including minimum standard times. The selection criteria process can be found on the "Track & Field" page of the School Sport ACT website. The website below is a list of times, heights and lengths students need to meet before attending those selection dates.
