If you haven’t registered yet follow this link.https://www.ovasouthernsaints.com.au/join for the OVA registration portal

Parents, Care Givers and Partners we need you to register too – either as a Volunteer (its free) or a Social Member. All helpers at events will need to have a WWVP registration – and that could be you, so by registering we won’t have to chase you for your WWVP details each week

Remember WWVP Registration is free for Volunteers.

Round 4 at Clarence.

Congratulations to all those who braved the rain, hail and shine at Clarence last week.  It was a hardy few from our Women's team who braved the elements.  The boys and a few of our girls headed north to Launcestion for the Northern Branch interclub.

Round 4 starts at 1pm at Clarence High.  Clarence High is located on Clarence St.  Turn R at the lights just before the High school.  The entry to the ground is on the L hand side.

The program is here  You will still need to register at least 30min before your events - come to the building to find the entry sheets.  The OVA tent will be up, so you can store your gear there.

We have Long Jump Duty at 2pm – we will need helpers – Chief, Spikers, Recorders. Lots of easy jobs. If you are able to help out at any event please do, with small numbers participating we need parents, friends, non-competing athletes to jump in and help.

Don't forget your bib, or if its your first meet come find the OVA committee to collect it.  Sign up for the 4x100m Mixed relay at the tent and let Estelle, Levi or a committee member know if you are keen to run in the relay.  2 males, 2females - let's get a team this week. Committee and Captains will be at the tent to help with anything - just ask.  Friends are welcome to trial - we can help you with paperwork.
