Hi new team members and well done on your race today. If you have been selected in the PSC CC Team for 2009 please fill out the Application Form by clicking on the link to your right. Please do this by WEDNESDAY 8 JULY. If it is not done by that date we will start contacting reserves.
Congratulations again on a superb performance! We believe it is the HARDEST representative team in Canterbury to make! EVERY single child in Canterbury started off the selection process and you have made it through your school and Zone races and finally the Primary Sports Canterbury Cross Country Championships to qualify!
A reminder we need Team Captains and Team Managers also - see the Application form and the notes on your selection letter.

PSC CC Team News 5.6.09
Hi guys
Only 12 days till the Year 5 and Year 6 2009 PSC CC Team is selected! Also, the day of the next step for Year 7/8 selection too! Hope you are all keen and planning to make the team again!
As the selector and coach, I need to know well beforehand if anyone is going to be away on June 17th or July 1st (Year 7 and 8 Intermediates v. Primaries). I can only select someone who is not at these events if they let me know and have shown good form - so let me know. I can even ask people to run in these events if for sickness/medical reasons they have not qualified from their zones - in very special circumstances. Please let me know.
A few more things
1. Well done to those Year 9s who have been doing so well in the recent Sec. Schools' races - make sure you are entered for the NZ Sec. Schools cc in Nelson on June 20th - entries close 12 June
2. A reminder the course at Halswell is changed this year. I am taking a group over the course from Fendalton School/Christchurch Avon on Thursday 11 June at 4.30-5.15pm - anyone is welcome to join us - meet in the carpark. New course attached again.
3. Young for your year group? - Age grade- as stipulated in the PSC Handbook you have an option of running in an older year group race if this is the case for you,or you have to have your time compared to the older age grade ie I have a Year 6 boy who is in the 9 year olds race (98% of them are Year 5s) as his birthday is after 1 April - he has the option to run in the 10 years race (98%Year 6s) or wait to have his time compared. If you are in the 10 years race, and are a Year 7, if you get in the first ten on June 17th you can run over 3kms on July 1st in the Year 7 race - THIS INFO. in point 3. only applies to a very small number of children. Last year I did try to get all races changed to Year at school but was unsuccessful at a PSC executive level.
4. A few dates for the ultra organised:
