Pacific Lutheran College has several sports development programs outside of school hours. These programs encourage participation, giving students the opportunity to be part of a team, and learn basic skills of the game.
The parent-led Pacific FC Soccer and PLC Netball Clubs compete on Saturdays in community competitions throughout the Sunshine Coast.
PLC Netball Club
Not long now before the Netball season really gets going. Saturday 11th March will see our first round of matches in a Grading ‘Round-robin’ style program where teams will play multiple, shorter games on the day. The day will be split into two sections with Divisional teams (Div. 1 to Div. 7) in the morning (approximately 8.00am – 12.00pm) and younger teams (U12s, U11s, SET and GO) in the afternoon (approximately 12.00pm – 3.30pm). Exact times and details will be provided early next week.
After the first training session last week, there have been some changes to some of the teams. All parents and caregivers should have received an email from the Team Coach this week – if not, please email the President at the address below.
Parents and caregivers play an essential part in encouraging and supporting their child’s participation in their chosen sport, such as by providing a positive role model and encouraging fair play. Some ideas on how parents and caregivers can positively support their children include:
• Support your child enthusiastically
• Encourage your child without expecting perfection
• Be a good role model – to young people and other parents
• Promote fair play
• Acknowledge the efforts of all the young people
• Encourage your child to play by the rules
• Support the coaches and officials (particularly young officials)
• Share challenges or criticisms (of officials, coaches, or players) in a constructive way
• Encourage other spectators to be positive
• Challenge or report poor side-line behaviour
• Allow the coaches to coach
• Support and respect your child’s ambitions in the sport
• Remember that this is your child’s sporting experience – not yours
• Celebrate and support your child as a whole person who needs a range of experiences both inside and outside sport.
We welcome any suggestions for helping our club or providing feedback if you have any concerns.
