The Offical Team Photo Look

The SWVA Junior Commonwealth Cup Team 2022

Readers and parents may have noticed that the SW beach team photo rarely looks like your typical team photo you see from other regions. After arriving from their hotel on the first morning, the other teams often line up in two neat rows, in their nice clean kit for their souvenir team photos, not a hair out of place.

Most of our players get up at 4am on day 1, make their way to the various pickup points, grabbing some extra sleep and a bit of breakfast in the back seats on the way to the venue, where they promptly dive into the ball bags and off they go rolling in the sand.

It takes a good day and a half to round them back up again for a team photo opportunity, by which time they have several layers of sun cream with added layers of sand, been hosed down by the sprinkler system, as well as covered in a days worth of baked on sweat. It’s normally recommended not to stand too close to them by this time but its why our team photos look the way they do.

Sorry about that, but as they keep winning medals, I wouldn’t have it any other way, perhaps other teams should take note.
