Sturt Tee Ball

The Sturt Tee Ball All stars were due to have their final round 4 on Sunday 16 March, but unfortunately the record run of hot spells has again caused its cancellation.

(this round had already been postponed once and with Easter, holidays and impending winter sport commitments a rescheduling wasn’t possible)

So! An unfortunate end to a great season. On count back of wins and losses, Sturt’s 4 year winning streak has come to an end, with Kensington taking out the trophy for 2007/08.

However, the squad should take great pride in their performance throughout the season – it is particularly satisfying to hear the constant comments from other coaches, parents and members of the clubs of the
visible improvement each and every player has shown during the year – I look forward to watching their development up through the Sturt baseball ranks!

I’d like to take this opportunity to record my thanks for the terrific support from all the parents of the tee-ballers with scoring, equipment, umpiring etc. – of particular note Andrew Johnston and David Brooks who have both given a great amount of time and support to the All Stars – and to Sturt Teeball generally over the years.

It’s particularly satisfying to see how many All Stars are now playing in the higher age groups…may it continue!

Again, our thanks to Mark Goldsworthy and Jock Gilbert Real Estate for their sponsorship over the years!

I would also like to advise that Glen Young has kindly agreed to take on the role as All Stars coach for 08-09 – over the years he has been a tireless supporter and coach of the regular Tball teams and I am sure will do a fantastic job with our representative side! For those who aren’t aware, Tee Ball is played on Sunday mornings at Waite Uni grounds from October through to March and is an ideal team sport for boys and girls aged 5 to 11 years…. Do get involved if you can – President Brett Tucker and his committee would welcome your involvement and support! See http://www.sturtteeball.org/ for details.


All the very best for an enjoyable year!
