Term 1 sees us compete in two Saturday morning sports, with Redeemer fielding 3 junior Cricket teams and 4 junior Hockey teams.

Following the success of the RLC Cricket Club, it is fantastic to have been able to increase our team numbers from 2016. All the players are passionate and focused on developing their skills and many enjoy watching the Big Bash and the success of the Brisbane Heat.

Our Hockey teams are also strong, with our year 6 team starting the season very well with a 7-0 victory. Throughout the term Hockey will be played at Rasey Park, in Herston, so if you are looking at going to support some of our younger players they will always be playing

In term 1 we are offering a range of program in addition to JTAS. These programs are designed to upskill our children in the discovery phase and provide students with an opportunity to explore sports which they may not of otherwise.

Information on how to register for these program is available on myredeemer.
