2020 Aussies cancelled due to Covid-19
Hi all Bulli athlete's, coaches & supporters
By now everybody would of heard that this years 2020 Youth, Masters and Open Australian Championships have been cancelled.
This wasn't just a snap decision by SLSA. They had been receiving advice from the Australian Government & many associated agencies in relation to the possible effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on these major championships. It was a very hard decision but one they believe is in the best interests of surf life saving athletes & the wider community. Its not just lining up & off we go in a surf race, boat race etc. There is a lot of logistics to plan, risk management with this world wide issue, which is taking traction in Australia.....with 6,000 competitors, plus parents, supporters etc.
Many major sporting events world wide have been cancelled.
We are understandbly disappointed, especially our athletes in what they would be experiencing at this present time.
Every athlete has put in the hard yards in training & to see the end of season taken away from you, it's devastating. This can be mentally draining. If you need to chat to anyone, any of of management team is available🙏
Yes its a set back, regroup & now refocus....stay strong & become even more determined next season as an athlete to be the best!
Massive thankyou to all our coaches & managers for your commitment to our athletes, we know you are all disappointed as well.
Remember we still need to finish the season off strong.... lifesaving is still happening with patrols, so please make sure you fulfill your voluntary duties to finish off the season (Sunday 26 April).
We hope to have an end of season get together for lifesaving & surf sports...stay tuned for details out soon.
