Procedures and Policies
Pockets and Awards
Pockets and Awards
Sport Term Pocket Policy
Refer to this link for the guidelines for receiving a pocket (making up a missed training session/participation/uniform/attitude/team spirit etc).
Girls who miss a training session (unless COVID related) need to make up a session in order to meet the pocket criteria. They will need to do a fitness session in the Gymnasium on a Tuesday or Wednesday at lunch. Students doing the fitness session need to be changed and ready to go by no later than 12.40 pm. There won’t be the chance to ‘jump-in’ on another team’s training (as a make-up option) as this interferes with the other team and makes session planning for the coach difficult.
All makeup fitness sessions must be completed before the final round of the term.
If you have any further questions regarding pockets, please contact the Head of Sport : [email protected]
