Sports news and reminders

(1) Staff and Student Achievements

Gridiron
Ben Heath (Year 10 Bronze) has this week been announced as a member of the Under 19 Victorian gridiron team. He was named as a platinum player and their starting quarterback. This is extra exceptional as Ben is only 16 years old. Congratulations, Ben.

Football umpiring
Sam Green and Bailey O’Neil (both Year 12 Green) have been announced as members of the Eastern Football Netball League’s Emerging Field Umpires Squad for 2021. They are part of a group of 15 umpires who will be coached and observed by some of the best umpires at both VFL and AFL level. They will help Sam and Bailey transition into becoming regular senior umpires. Congrats, Sam and Bailey.

Crossfit
Bec Course (Year 9 Bronze) was recently part of her first Crossfit Open, which is a three-week online crossfit competition which consists of weight training, conditioning, gymnastics and Olympic lifting. Bec placed 31st in Australia (out of 122 participants) in the 14-15 year age group, and placed 341st worldwide. This is an awesome achievement and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Bec.

Half Marathon
Luke Phillips (Year 12 Blue), who is our Sport Prefect, on Saturday 20 March participated in the Active Feet Half Marathon, running 21.1km in Portarlington. It was a super effort from our all-rounder. Well done Luke.

Football
Congratulations to Bridget Deed (our AFL trainee) on her selection in the Vic Metro Under 19 team who will be competing in the NAB AFLW Under 19 Championships in Melbourne this week and next.

(4) EISM reminders

With the Summer seasons of Year 8, 9 and Senior EISM Sport all underway, please remember the following:

• Check the Sport plans — up on the Doyle Centre window at the beginning of every week and on the College’s Instagram story
• If you are unable to play in your team in a particular week, you need to let your coach know as early as possible
• Please be on time to the Doyle Centre on your sport day. All EISM teams need to leave at the start of lunch (occasionally earlier) to get to venues to play
• Your uniform needs to be 100% correct to ensure no forfeited games — hockey, soccer and football players must wear long navy socks (available at the Doyle Centre) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME.
• Live fixtures for EISM matches can be found online at eism.org. Click on ‘Weekly sport’, then ‘Fixtures and results’ then either ‘Junior’ (Years 8 and 9) or ‘Senior’ for fixtures.
