Dear State League Regional Coordinators,

Excellent work on Friday Night after games was cancelled for Bad Weather. At the clubrooms from 5pm – 6.20pm we only had one player turn-up for their game, and 2 Referee’s (both at which were at the fields shortly after games where off). This proves that your communication to all your Coach’s, Players & Referee’s all worked.

Just confirming that game from Round 2, Friday 10th June. Will be played this Sunday commencing at 1.30pm. These will run in the same timeslots as previously communicated, with 6.30pm – 1.30pm, 7.30pm – 2.30pm & 8.30pm – 3.30pm. All games will be played on Field 6 & 7 and will go ahead unless a dangerous situation arises again with lightning or storms. A decision will be made by 11.30am and again will be communicated first to the Regional Coordinators.

At this stage, due to it being a Sunday, I am not sure how quickly we will be able to change the Buzzword; however we will try and make sure that this is altered as well.

The Level 1 Referee’s Course advertised for this Sunday will now be cancelled. Participants that registered will be communicated to directly and will be put through to the next advertised course.

State 12’s Trials for both Saturday & Sunday will go ahead as scheduled. Sunday session will start at 3pm – 5pm, if you have some people that could come and help with this area on Field 5 that would be appreciated.

For this Friday Night, I will be unavailable, so your first point of contact if you have any problems will be Colm Maguire or Tracy Frith.

Kind Regards,
Marianne Maguire

Wet Weather Postponement Procedures

From Touch SA:
Just a quick reminder to all of you, as rain is forecast for the next few days, with heavy rain forecast on Friday.

In the event of the weather forcing the cancellation of any State League Round on a Friday Night, the following process will be used.

An email or SMS will be sent directly to you the Regional Coordinator. Furthermore the buzzword ‘stateleague’ SMS to 193030 will send back a message will be used for the wider State League Community to utilise. A decision will be made at 3pm on the day of competition.

Washed out Rounds will be played on the Sunday the week following. Eg Round 2 cancelled on 10th June would be played on Sunday 19th June. Sunday Games will commence at 1.30pm, unless a Sunday round is already programmed. In the event of this happening, times for a double round will be communicated to you the regional coordinator.

For the Come’n’Try nights that might be affected by cancelling games such as this Friday and Friday the 17th, please ensure you still have someone present to talk to interested people that may turn up. On these nights Touch SA will still be at the clubrooms from 5.45pm – 6.30pm. It will be your responsibility to bring and supply information about participating with your region.

Winter State League UPDATE 3JUN05

Hi all,
It's not long to go before round 1. Just a few finals points before we can take the field

Team Managers
I am still looking for team managers for the Men's Open and Women's Open team. It's not a hard job and is perfect for your partners, parents, or Mixed Open players supporting the Men's and Women's. If you are interested, please contact me asap. The main duty of a team manager is to ensure all team administration requirements are met before, during, and after each game. The details of these requirements are explained below.# Team managers are to ensure all players are in correct uniform and have "signed-on" for each game. If a player does not meet these requirements, they could be fined $11 (uniform) or $50 (signing on)
# Team managers are to collect "player's player" votes from each player after each game.# Team managers are responsible for bringing the ball each week and making sure it is taken home at the end of the night
# Team managers may also be required to assist with coaching or taking warm-ups, as directed by the coach.# Team managers will be the first point of contact of Touch SA if any issues arise concerning the team.# Team managers are to assist the coach with the recording of the players availability throughout the seasonAs regional coordinator I provide you with printed sheets of the team so all you have to do is rock up.
Uniforms
There are still a large number of people that have not collected their uniforms. If you are one of these people, please arrive with sufficient time to get this organised and with the correct money.

Most of you have seen information about the Mitchell Cup. This is an exciting event that I hope all Central Scorpions players will consider. I look forward to our region having the most representatives playing in the series. If you have previously said no to state selection, I urge you to reconsider and let me know when you change your mind.
