    Interschool Handover

    Pre-Planning Touch Base with all schools See email Attachment 1 A touch base email should be sent in the first week of the new school year – even if dates cannot be confirmed. It is important to promote the junior club activities and our first events of the year. It is important to remind schools of the interschool events coming up – even if the venue or dates are not finalized – and it is extremely important to update the interschool email list. Teachers, parents and players may all have changed schools since the previous year. The email list is at its most effective when we have three contact email addresses for a school: • A generic or front office email address. This will usually be the one available on the school website. Try to retain this address on the list unless you are asked to remove it or unless you have a very reliable direct contact at the school. • A direct teacher email address. This is highly effective with schools with a regular interest in our competitions as the teachers are familiar with our activities and anticipate our contact. Teachers do change schools so making sure you have a teacher listed against the right school is very important. • A parent or player email. This is important for those schools where the impetus to compete comes from outside the school teachers or administrators. There are schools that offer token support to their teams but will not be pro-active about organizing anything or disseminating information unless a parent or student takes the initiative.
