21 January 2019 update

Due to low attendance for tonight’s U14, U16, U19, general skills clinic, tonight’s clinic will be cancelled. 

PLEASE let us know if you are attending the next general skills session which will be held at the Dugald School on February 4th.  Again, always check the website for the latest information on clinic changes right up to the evening of.  That way, if you haven’t registered, you will be able to see any updates that are available.

As mentioned in the previous SMSA email, participants for all clinics must pre-register so that we can prepare clinicians, equipment and supervision as needed based on attendance.  There is no charge for skills clinics – however a registration form is required.  You may even give us notice via email that you plan to attend a clinic and fill in the registration form (no fee) when you arrive.  

We are excited to add our U12 skills sessions for 2019 which will generally be held on Thursday evenings.  Please refer to our updated schedule.

If the timing for any of our clinics does not work on a regular basis for your child, please let us know – we may be able to have them attend another session group.
