SOSUNS Basketballers Host the Sydney Kings

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.

Weather Clears for 2010 Golf Day

Despite early morning storms and some very nervous organisers the 2010 SOSUNS Golf day went off without a hitch.  Thirty minutes before the first hole was set to be played the clouds cleared and the sun came out.  Golfers happily grabbed their clubs and jumped on buggies, ready for a fun day of golf with friends in support of Special Olympics Sydney Upper North Shore athletes.

The golf day was held at Avondale Golf Course and included special guests like Ken and Oscar Done and Ben Elias.  All golfers enjoyed a great dinner and were entertained by some inspirational guest speakers.  SOSUNS athlete Alistair did a fantastic job with his first ever presentation.

The Auction was a great success and monies raised on the day will be very useful in paying for coaches and venues so that our athletes can continue their sporting sessions into 2011.

SOSUNS athletes Tom, Nathaniel and Luke all attended and played with sponsors.  It was thrill for the sponsors to see our athletes in action.

Thank you to all of our sponsors who made this day possible.  A big thank you especially to Michelle Jackson who worked tirelessly to organise the day.
