Coaches will be advertising training sessions in the daily notices and will be taking attendance registers. If you are unable to make a particular training session you must communicate this with your coach in person or via email.

LANGUAGE LESSONS & ORCHESTRA: If you attend Language tuition or are involved in the Heaton orchestra and this clashes with a scheduled training session you must notify your coach. Language lessons and the Orchestra always take priority, as an alternate time or training with a different Heaton team will be possible.

ADDITIONAL UPDATES FROM PRIMARY SPORT CANTERBURY:

The purpose of weekly sport is to give all interested young people a chance to play sport against others in our region. The enjoyment of all is of most importance to us and if this means having to alter games to accommodate differing abilities then please take the initiative and do this.
