Unfortunately we had another clash of event times with SOSUNS dance so we missed seeing some of our regulars such as Mel, Shaun and Lachlan.
Our three players, Michael, Alistair and his brother Lewis had an action packed game that saw some great sprinting by Alistair to out run his Dad on first base and Mum on third base. The fielding from the adults was somewhat ordinary to say the least.
Audrey awarded a trophy to Lewis for the cracking hit of the day!
We had a special guest, Audrey’s Mum Dot, who is visiting from Melbourne and she managed to keep Audrey on her best behaviour! Thanks again to Andrew Eustace for assisting Audrey with the coaching.
Given this coming Sunday is on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, we will take a poll to see whether we play or not.
Finally, many happy returns go to Ian, Alistair’s Dad, for this coming weekend.

Who feels like a game of tennis or softball? What about golf, ten pin bowling or cricket? Would you like to go sailing or perform with your dance group? How about a few races, 100m , 200m, 400m or perhaps you would prefer long jump? Amazing SOSUNS athlete Nathaniel, does all of this every week!

The only two players, Carmen and Michael, enjoyed one-on-one coaching. Brett taught a new skill of picking the ball up off the ground cleanly, ensuring that you have a good grip. Audrey awarded a trophy to Michael for concentration and listening.
A big thanks to Andrew Eustace who also diligently assisted with activities (as normal) despite Mel having a day off. Mel had uncharacteristically slept in after getting home in the wee hours from a big SOSUNS dance performance. So we will excuse her this once!
Looking forward to seeing you all back ready for a great session next week!!!!

2009 Special Olympics Australia National Conference
May 7, 2009 by sosuns · Leave a Comment
The 2009 Special Olympics Australia (SOA) National Conference, themed Let’s Grow Together, was held on the 2nd and 3rd of April. Jack Bahng, John Goo, Sue Teale, Ivy Tang, Paul Phelan, Ian Hyman and I travelled to my hometown Adelaide for the conference. Arriving on Friday, we had the opportunity to visit venues for the 2010 national Games also being held in Adelaide. The strong themes from the conference revolved around a focus on our athletes, growth in our program through positive change and quality sports competition and the 2010 National Games.
