Our 3 fall sports are all running now. Here is a brief update.
Cross Country: Students competed in their first meet last week in the rain at Stanley Park but they put in great effort despite the wetness and cooler temperatures. They have their second meet tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 26th at South Glenmore Park which already looks like weather will be in their favour this time round. Soccer: The boys had their first game on Sept. 20th against David Thompson with a close loss by only one goal later in the second half, with a final of 3-2. They are in action again tonight, Monday, Sept. 25th at home. Volleyball: The junior and senior girls volleyball teams are having their last try outs this week and then will be moving into practices. They will begin play next week on Wednesday. The Sr Girls will always play at Midsun and the Jr Girls will always play at Sam Shaw. Check back at the end of each week to see how the teams have done! We welcome guests to cheer us on at home, just check the calendar to see when those dates are for soccer. Coming up on Tuesday, September 12th, there will be a meeting for interest for volleyball. We need to see where interest lies with our students to see if we can offer both junior and senior teams.
Meeting Time: Tuesday at 12:15pm in the main gym. Try outs for teams will begin on September 18th. Check back for further details. Cross Country: The coaches met with interested students and passed on information verbally at the meeting. Student athletes on this team will be bringing home printed information and permission forms shortly. Practices will begin next week and are all marked on the Athletics Calendar Page.
Soccer: Both the boys and girls had meetings to gauge interest and had their first try outs. Try outs will continue next week and then teams will be made, and then the student athletes chosen will bring home information and permission forms. Games for the season will start September 18th. As soon as the schedule is made, it will be added to the Athletics Calendar Page, which will be sometime next week. We are starting right away with 2 fall sports the first week back. There will be a meeting to gauge interest and numbers for soccer on September 5th at lunch in the Aux gym. All students in grades 6-9 who want to try out need to be there. At that meeting, it will be established if we have enough students to have the teams and a first try out date will be set and posted immediately afterwards. This could be as soon as afterschool on September 6th or 7th. There will also be an information meeting for cross country running on September 6th at lunch in the Aux gym. Again, all students in grade 6-9 who are interested should be at this meeting. At the meeting, some information will be shared orally with more to follow in a different format. There are no try outs for cross country, all students who are committed to training and competing will be taken on the team. Please check back frequently as lot's will be added to keep up to date in the upcoming weeks. Any students thinking of trying out for volleyball, the season has been moved to a later start date so more information will be posted later but try outs cannot begin until September 18th at the earliest. |
