SPORTS PROGRAMME SATURDAY 9 SEPTEMBER
@CaterhamSport
Dear Parents and Players, I offer parents, players, staff and visitors a very warm welcome to Caterham School. I hope that there are many closely fought encounters today and that all pupils involved go away enriched by their physical endeavours. While striving to win is vitally important, it is not more important than the sportsmanship and friendship that make sport so special and such an integral part of the education that we offer our pupils. With that in mind I hope that all matches today are played in the positive atmosphere that they should be. I remind all of us that we are all responsible for ensuring that the pupils are supported at all times. Please let us all applaud good play from both teams, offer our congratulations to the victors but also acknowledge the efforts of the losers. I have no doubt that every pupil will give their all today and that each and every one of them deserve our praise and support. We hope that you enjoy the hospitality on offer today at Caterham. We aim to make you feel as welcome as possible and to give you the best possible experience of the school. If you are visiting our Hill Fields, we are very near completion of our brand new pavilion, which is due to be up and running on 23 September. Yours in sport, Rob Clarke, Director of Sport
A message from the Head of Netball Jaclyn Leach The netball season will get off to a thrilling start with the fourth annual Trinity Schools Fast Five tournament, hosted by Caterham School. 12 teams will compete for the title, with six teams vying for the 1st V win, and six teams vying for the 2nd V. Caterham have entered a 1st V, a 2nd V and our U16 V with each team looking to play some fast and furious netball in the hopes of coming out with our first wins of the season. It is always a very tough and tiring competition and, with the potential under fast Five rules for one shot to be worth six points, it is always a very crowd-pleasing event. Good luck everyone!

Welcome back to our players and parents! Today marks the fourth annual ‘Welcome to Lacrosse Day’ for our new U12 lacrosse players. The U12 players will be taught lacrosse skills by Fourth Year and senior players who have volunteered to pass along their love of lacrosse. The coaches are excited to see the next generation of lacrosse players begin their time at Caterham School and hope their parents enjoy trying out the sport for themselves.
It is a pleasure to welcome all of KCS Wimbledon’s players, staff and parents to Caterham for our first block fixture of the 2017 season. This is the fourth year of this block since it was re-established in 2013 although fixtures between the schools date back to the early 1920s. Happily, all games between the two schools have proven to be fantastic contests played in superb spirit and I am sure today will be no different. The very best of luck to all of those involved in today’s matches.
The U15, U14 and U13 will be participating in an internal LaxCat tournament in the afternoon on Home Field and the Astro. We are looking forward to a great first weekend to the school year!
