We’ve had a fantastic response to student registrations for Summer Sports. If you haven’t yet registered, please be sure to complete your child’s registration using this link Junior School Sport Selections – Summer 2024/25 by Friday 23 August. Please note that the Sports Department is finalising team numbers, and late submissions may not be guaranteed a spot on a team.
Below is key information regarding Summer Sports selections for the upcoming season:
Year 6 Cricket Registration
Year 6 students interested in playing cricket should register through the Junior School Summer Sports selections but will be placed in the U14 cricket teams, training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Once registered, parents will receive further details from the Sports Department in the coming weeks. Please note, this applies to cricket only.
Junior School Basketball Update
As we approach the upcoming basketball season, we are introducing an important update to our process to better develop our teams and provide a better experience for all levels of ability. The Moss Vale Basketball competition is a highly competitive and ungraded competition within which Oxley teams have had a mixed experience in recent years. The changes below are intended to better align with this competition and improve the experiences for all of our players.
Trials will be held in Term 3 to establish one team per age group for both boys and girls, which will participate in the Moss Vale competition. Games at the Moss Vale Basketball stadium take place on Wednesday and Friday evenings depending on the age group.
For all other keen basketball players, we are excited to offer a Basketball Development Program on Wednesday afternoons as part of our Summer Sports season. This program includes technical skill-building sessions designed to enhance individual abilities and foster a deeper understanding of the game. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in interschool matches against local schools and internal fixtures throughout the season. There will also be a range of dynamic workshops for all of our basketballers led by professional players from the Sydney Kings. This approach is designed to offer all students valuable opportunities for growth and a positive, enriching sports experience.
We are confident that this new structure will better meet the diverse needs of our students and contribute to a successful and fulfilling basketball season. Thank you for your continued support of our Junior School Sport program.
Warm regards
Fran Dorczak
Head of Junior School Sport
