Week 8
As the term draws to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible achievements and joyful moments from this year’s IPSHA Touch Football and K-2 Skills season. What an extraordinary journey it has been for our enthusiastic players, dedicated coaches, and supportive families!
From the first whistle to the final try, our Touch Football teams have shown remarkable skills, sportsmanship, and resilience. Each match was an opportunity for growth, and our players seized every chance to support each other and shine on the field. Whether it was a lightning sprint down the sideline, a strategic pass, or a crucial touch, the commitment and determination displayed each week filled us all with pride. Most importantly, friendships were forged and memories made that will last a lifetime.
For our youngest learners in K-2 Skills, the season was a vibrant introduction to teamwork, coordination, and the joy of movement. The giggles, focused faces, and “I did it!” moments have made Saturday mornings something truly special. The progress made across the season, from learning to hold and pass the ball, to mastering those tricky footwork drills, has been inspiring to watch. We are so proud of every one of you.
A massive thank you to our wonderful coaches for nurturing a love of sport in every child, and to our families for your ongoing encouragement and presence on the sidelines. Your support makes all the difference.
A big shout out to our referees who did a fantastic job week in and week out with our IPSHA Touch Football matches. No sporting season would be complete without the incredible efforts of you all, and this IPSHA Touch Football was no exception. We want to extend a massive thank you and a huge round of applause to each and every referee who has given their time, energy, and expertise every week.
Thank you for your consistency, integrity, and unwavering dedication, you are vital to our community, and we are so grateful for all that you do!
Though the season is ending, the spirit and skills gained this term will carry on. We cannot wait to see what our students achieve next, both on and off the field. Until then, congratulations on an outstanding season to all our IPSHA Touch Football and K-2 Skills participants!
