Recently the SOSUNS basketballers were thrilled to have two Sydney Kings players attend their Sunday training session.  Organised by coaches Paddy and Lachy the players, Taj McCullough and Junian Khazzouh, taught SOSUNS athletes some cool new moves and participated in a fun game where they showed off some of their great skills.

The two SOSUNS basketball groups, one of which trains at Thornleigh Brickpit and the other at North Sydney Indoor Sports Centre have been enjoying some great social get togethers this year.  They meet up for their regular Sunday training session at one of the centres and follow this up with a pizza session where all players, parents and coaches can continue the fun.

If you are interested in helping to coach the Thornleigh group  please contact Deb Frost on 0424 403 065.

The weather in Sydney in Spring 2010 has been wet! wet! wet! and unfortunately the SOSUNS 2010 schools sports carnival was not to be spared.  The day dawned wet, windy and very very cold and so it was with great heartbreak that, when one of the largest schools invited rang to cancel due to concern with the health of their students, that the decision to cancel the carnival was made.

The indoor facilities at Abbotsleigh Girls Senior College simply could not cope with the expected 250 athletes, 50 teachers and teacher’s aides and 100 volunteers.

Neverthless the students of Macquarie Special Education Unit (MUSEC) and St Edmund’s College still came and together they enjoyed a fun day of cricket, t-ball, soccer, fun activities and dance. 

 Competition throughout the day was very close and so in a very popular decision both schools were declared joint winners of the perpetual trophy for 2010.
