T.P.S. Sporting Overview

To register your child for a sports please visit: https://shop.tgcl.co.nz/shop/index.html

The table below gives an outline to the sports that T.P.S. will be offering.  This overview will be helpful to you in organising your child’s sporting commitments and also gives you an idea of when to expect some information about the sports. This information is based on times, dates and venues from previous years so may be subject to change. We try to organise teams in advance so it may be the term prior to the sport starting that we will get an idea of numbers and how many teams and coaches we need.

It is great that we have so many children who want to participate, however this is logistically challenging for those organising. Therefore it is vital that permission slips are returned to the teacher in charge, as any late entries will often result in the child missing out due to teams being compiled and entered into competitions. We will not be chasing up children’s permission slips as it is a parental and personal responsibility. It is also expected that any fees are paid or payment is arranged with the office prior to the season starting. As always, we will be asking for parent help in coaching and supervising teams.

Thank you in advance for your continued support.  

Trials will be run for year 5 and 6 hockey, netball, basketball and cricket teams and a 1st team will be selected and placed in the most appropriate competitive grade. This allows these teams to play with and against  similarly skilled players. The remaining children will then be spread evenly across remaining teams.

You may notice the we are no longer offering basketball in terms 1 and 4. This is to limit the cross-over and disruptions to games and practices that we have encountered in the past.

We expect players to be committed to making it to all practices and that parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from games.

Many thanks,

Taradale Primary P.E. Curriculum Team
