“The venue and staff at Sandringham Yacht Club were outstanding.” adding, “Thanks needs to be given to Steve Enticott from All Souls Anglican Church in Sandringham, a member of the club.”

Of the seventeen trainee chaplains the sports of interest include, tennis, AFL, soccer, basketball, netball, table tennis, boxing, touch footy, lawn bowls, golf and cricket.

A SCA Certificate 2 in Sports Chaplaincy is being run at All Souls Sandringham in March 2017.

Steve Stubbings reflected that, “A CBT [Centre Bounce Team] will likely emerge from the training helping identify and appoint chaplains to local sports clubs in the Bayside area.”
