: A message from JD :
Thank you all for the support that you have
provided throughout the term. Term 1 was
tough as we attempted to develop alot of
things in a such a short space of time. It is
clear that we have taken a massive step in
the right direction but there is still a lot we can
do to continue moving forward.
I am excited about what the winter season
has instore (We have our fingers crossed for
some more grand final appearances). The
year 7’s showed a lot of promise in term 1, will
it continue into the winter sports??? Lets hope
that our senior students can learn something
from our junior students and begin to show us
both the commitment and performances that
we know they are capable of.
Thank you to those who made them selves
available to help out during the holidays, your
efforts do not go unnoticed, I really
appreciate it.
I hope you all had a great break and it that
you had some time to relax and rejuvinate
your selves for what is going to be a great
term of ACS sport. See you all next week!!!

The year 7 table tennis team are not only undefeated, but they are winning most
of their games convincingly. Josh has not only had success with his team but he
has also shown a great desire to see his team develop by including all of the
players in the squad and challenging them to play at a higher ranking each week.
Josh has shown a great commitment to his team and to the sports programme at
Loyola. Welcome to the team Josh.

MARCH - Coaches Favourite - Seb Zancan
As we all know Seb has a passion for Soccer, but he might correct you and tell you it’s
“Football”. Regardless of what we call it, Seb has shown a massive commitment to the
teams that he has been involved in. He puts a lot of time and effort into training and
preparing for games and is always willing to put his hand up to help. I can always count on
Seb to say “Is ther e anything that needs to be done???” Seb’s enthusiasm, work ethic and
commitment are just three of the numerous attributes that he brings to Loyola Sport.
Below are the ladder standings as of the end of term 1, games will continue in term 4

JANUARY - Mr Enthusiasm - Jack Pitts
Along with Ms Annie Malesic, Jack took on the year 9 girls volleyball team. Jack clearly spent
hours preparing for tryouts and training, with diagrams and drills coming out of his ears. His
enthusiasm was and still is, overwhelming. It was obvious that Jack wanted these girls to
succeed and did everything within his power to bring these girls together and have them
working as a strong unit of volleyball awesomeness. I almost forgot to mention that Jack drives
down from Ballarat to coach with us, now that’s commitment.

Senior Summer Grand Final Results
PAGE 4 LOYOLA ACS COACHES
As we run tryouts again it gives us a chance to look at the bigger picture, there will be over 1000 kids
involved and almost 300 at each year level. If you have alot of kids interested in your sport I encourage you
to take a step back and look at the group as a whole, not just the players who stand out because of their
ability. It may be a good opportunity to select a child who shows great leadership qualities or who is highly
encouraging towards others. It may also be an opportunity to encourage kids to try other sports, as some
teams have well and beyond the number required. I also suggest that you take the time to prepare for the
tryouts with adequte drills and game based activities for large groups. I will do my best to bring in
additional coaches for tryouts if you require them.
