Winter State League Update - 24MAY05
Players, Coaches, Referees, and Committee Members,
Here is a quick update of things ahead. Note that I will be away in Dubbo for a week and will not have access to email while I'm away so if there's anything urgent that needs to be addressed prior to Monday 30th May, please call my mobile or speak to your coaches or coordinators.
Coaches, please pass this info onto players that don't check their email.
Junior Mixed Competition
Unfortunately, Touch SA did not receive sufficient nominations for the Junior Mixed division. In order to get a competition up and running, there will be a 6 week season commencing in Round 4 of the normal state league season (Friday 24th June). The first 3 weeks will be used to recruit more players to each of the regions so that an extra 1-2 teams can be included and each region can strengthen their sides with more players.
In order to assist with the process of recruiting players to our region and other regions, a come n try day is being organised for Round 2 (Friday 10th June) from 6pm-7pm at City Touch. All current Central Scorpions junior players are invited and encouraged to attend. More details to follow. Until then, please keep in touch with me and your coaches.
Also, because the season will be shorter than expected, a reduction of fees will be considered by the committee. Until this has been approved, all junior players should still pay the full amount of $40, and if approved, the committee will arrange a reimbursement as appropriate.
Mitchell Cup
Please find attached a flyer advertising a new Elite event for the Touch SA calendar.
This event has been named in recognition of Jo Mitchell (not me!) for her elite representation over many years and ongoing contributions to Touch in South Australia, including various areas of administration, refereeing, selecting and coaching.
The concept is to select the best twenty-eight (28) players based on the Talent Identification process over the last 12-months to form two (2) teams to compete against each other in a 3-game series for elite supremacy in each of Men's and Women's divisions. The event will be recognised as the premium intrastate challenge on the Elite Calendar providing an opportunity for the best players within the state to showcase their talents while vying for state selection.
Note that in order to play in this new exciting event, you must have said "yes" to be considered for state selection. Lucky for you, we are able to change your answer!
If you have any queries regarding the Mitchell Cup, please do not hesitate to contact Tracy Frith (game.do@touch-sa.asn.au).
Conditions Of Entry
Also find attached the Touch SA conditions of entry which all players have agreed to by signing the team nomination forms.
The CSTA Conditions of Entry document will be circulated shortly and players will be expected to sign this in order to take the field as a member of the Central Scorpions.
Availability
In order to manage player availability in all teams, I ask that each of you inform your coach and myself of any potential dates that you will be unavailable. This is very important for coaches when they need to make selection decisions, and when there is a shortage of players in a given division.

Training + Season Fees
To all successfully selected players,
Firstly, congratulations on being selected to represent the Central Scorpions and the City Touch competition for the Winter 2005 state league season. I am sorry for the lateness in response to some people regarding selections, but it was difficult to have these finalised without a formal coaching structure in place. Hopefully you have all received an email (or phone call) regarding your selection by now. If not, please let me know.
Secondly, training sessions will be organised by the coach of each team. At this stage the Women's Open team (plus shadows) will be training tonight (13th May), and Men's/Mixed Open will be informed of the next training session as soon as possible. This means that there is no training session this Sunday (15th May) as previously advertised. Junior Mixed will train at 5pm before each game, but depending on coaching arrangements, may also train at least once before the first round.
Thirdly, all players are expected to pay their season fees to Paul Rogers (Central Scorpions treasurer) before Friday 20th May. You will be able to pay your fees to Paul (or someone from the committee) at City Touch Clubrooms on Thursday night 19th May (6:15-8:30), and Friday night 20th May (6:30-7:30). If you are unable to pay your fees on these days, please make alternative arrangements prior to Friday 20th May. Paul will be provided with information regarding how much each player is to be charged. It is the responsibility of the player to ensure that we are aware of any discounts to be provided (juniors, full time concession, club officials). We do have the ability to accept season fees via Internet Transfer so if you are interested in this option, please email myself or Paul.
Lastly, any information sent in emails should be available on this web site so please make this your first check point. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
