Primary Summer Sport Team Trials
Before the start of each season, trials are held to determine the allocation of boys to teams. Trials for Summer Sport teams begin on Thursday 31 January and continue on Saturday 2 February. Teams will then be finalised after the first competition match on Saturday 9 February.
Boys are encouraged to bring their own equipment such as cricket kits. However, please know that the School does provide all necessary gear and safety equipment (excluding mouth guards).

Saturday Sport Fixtures (Years 3 - 6)
There are six rounds of Summer Sport fixtures in Term 1, which begin in Week 2 on Saturday 9 February. All fixtures, including opposition, locations and times, can be found on the School App. Please note, throughout the season, some fixtures change. These updates are documented on the School App and website. These changes are also listed on the team sheets, which go home with the boys each Friday. All venue information, including links to Google maps, can also be found on the School's App and website.
Saturday Sport Leave
Participation in Saturday sport is compulsory, except where a satisfactory medical or religious reason is given. Notes requesting special leave from Saturday Sport should be directed to the Headmaster and Sportsmaster, and received by the Monday preceding the Saturday for which leave is sought.
Late requests can leave teams without sufficient numbers. It is important that families realise the importance of commitment to the team. Learning to be part of a team is a high priority of our sporting programme at Edgecliff. Please help your son learn the value of being part of a team by respecting this leave system.
Illness
If your son becomes ill after School on Friday, kindly phone the Sportsmaster on 0499 515 993 so that the relevant coach can be informed. Parents may also submit a sports absence via the School App, if their son becomes ill or injured after 3.00 pm on Friday.
Medications
It is the expectation of the School that the parent or guardian who accompanies boys to Saturday sport will bring necessary medications, such as epipens and asthma medication. Furthermore, we recommend boys bring personal asthma medications to training. Despite all coaches being qualified in First Aid and having First Aid Kits, additional personal medications are not their responsibility.
