SAPSASA State Teams Selections

Interested students wanting to trial for State teams need to refer to: www.decd.sa.gov/sport/pages/sapsasa  for further information. If you wish to trial for a team, an online nomination must be completed and submitted by the due date for each sport. Information for each sport is available by clicking on List of Sports, then the sport you are interested in nominating for. (A separate nomination form is required for each sport). It is up to the student and their parent/caregiver to enrol, pay for and attend these try outs. See me at school if you need more information re this process.
