Grade 8 girls slo-pitch practices

The possiblity of rain at the start of the week is forcing us to schedule practices for later on. We will get together for practices on
Wednesday and Thursday after school until 430 and Friday morning at 745. 


8 Boy's Softball

Hi Team, as we discussed last practice,  and after taking many things into consideration, I have come to a conclusion about this year's team. This was not easy, but unfortunately we won't be fielding a team this year. The combination of practice time constraints between sports, the small numbers attending practice, and having too little prep time to recruit and train new players to safely field a team, have all played a part in this decision. 
Mr. C

Practice Schedule 

Tuesday mornings - 7:30sharp

Wednesday afternoon - 3:30-5pm.

Grade 6 Girls VOLLEYBALL

 Practice Schedule we will be having 2 practices a week. 


Mondays - 3:30-5pm.  Parents are kindly asked to be mindful of our end time and have pick-up arrangements made before practice. 
Thursdays  - 7:30-8:45 - Players are asked to be ready to play for 7:30 sharp. This means that arriving a few minutes early to change shoes and put on knee pads is key. 

Attire - we would like our players to wear a long-sleeved top. Baggy hoodies or shirts that bunch up on the arms are not permitted. We're looking primarily for a tight fit on the arms. This top is not mandatory but it will help ease the sting from the initial intense training that players will ensue. 

Shoes - a properly fitting pair of runners is key to being able to move quickly and safely around the court. Players will need to bring their runners home every Wednesday afternoon so that they have them ready for Thursday morning. 

Knee Pads - all players will have a set of knee pads to borrow for the season. These will be given back when volleyball is over.
