Nord Anglia Games (NAE Games)
The NAE Games is a 2-day sports tournament, held in late November, involving NAE Schools across South East Asia. The Games have been running for the last 2 years, with STA hosting the Games last year. It is a great tournament involving 1 day of teeball and 1 day of basketball. Twenty four children are selected (12 girls and 12 boys from Years 5 & 6). This year we will fly to Cambodia and look forward to getting the team ready to produce our usual high standards of performance. If your child is selected for the Games then the training will be the following during Term 1 only:
Teeball
Basketball
The 24 children will be selected from how well they do at either the basketball or teeball trials. Children must all play teeball but not everyone has to play basketball. In previous years we have had teeball specialists who just want to come to play teeball.
Trial Dates
We have completed a number of trials and have a full week of trials coming up. Emails will be sent to all children’s parents who attended the trials to let them know of the result. Please be patient as some of the decisions are not easy to make. We have had an amazing response to sign ups with over 350 children signing up and over 650 squad places. The remaining trial list is below. If you have any questions or would like to have your child participate in the squads please email me.
All trials are from 2.45 until 4.15 p.m. unless otherwise stated. For your information, the U11 category encompasses students from Years 5 & 6 (other than tennis which includes Years 4, 5 & 6) and te U9 category includes children from Years 3 & 4.
