Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
As we prepare to wrap up 2016, it is a good time to reflect on all the athletic awesomeness of the last 4 months.
With Junior World Cup, Junior and Intermediate Boy's Volleyball and two thirds of the primary World Cup in the books, we pause to celebrate all of the highs and lows of seasons past.
Upon our return in January, we look to finish off our Primary World Cup with the culmination of the grade 3 season, gear up for both our Junior and Intermediate Girl's volleyball seasons, the C.B.A. for grades 6-8, in addition to a new addtion to our athletic lineup, the junior European Handball League. And this will only take us to March!!!
On behalf of the athletic department and all of our past, current and future coaches, we would like to extend our best wishes to our Clairlea families and look forward to seeing everyone back happy and healthy in 2017!!

Jr. Boys Volleyball Wrap Up
Our tournament has come and gone and our season has come to a close. The team played very well, winning every set up to the final.
We played an equally skilled team in Samuel Hearne, who also had not dropped a set the entire day. Despite leading in both sets, our boys almost came out on top, but fell 25-23 and 25-21. It was a great day and our team showed that they belong with the best teams in the league.
Sadly our season is over, and despite pleas to the contrary, our practices have also reached their end. On behalf of Mr. Roberts, we would like to thank all of the boys for their hard work and dedication this season and hope they continue with their volleyball careers. We will have one final lunch time meeting to celebrate this seasons successes, which will be done over some pizza. When we have a date confirmed for our lunch we will notify the team both at school and through the blog.

Jr. Boys Vball Tourney Update
All of the hard work that these boys have put in will be tested tomorrow. We are very pleased with the progress of the entire team. Every member has become a better volleyball player from where they started from 5 weeks ago. It was quite a difficult task sorting out the top 10.
The entire team will be travelling to the tourmament. We will be leaving school shortly after 8am to catch the bus (TTC). We will be thaking the Pharmacy 67 south just a few stops down Pharmacy Ave. Please ensure your son has a lunch as we will be returning to school after lunch. If we do well our return will be close to 3, otherwise we will arrive sooner.
See you tomorrow at 730, Go Panthers!!

Due to our Wednesday tournament date, we will be practicing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
My apologies to any parents who have sent messages through the blog and have not received a reply. I am not receiving those messages and have therefore been unaware of them. I will look into finding a solution to that problem.

Our practice schedule will remain the same for this week.

If practices need to be cancelled, the blog will be updated by 630 am prior to practice. Please be on time.
During today's meeting, it has been made clear to the boys that in order to remain on the team, schoolwork is the first priority. Should in-class performance decline their spot may be in jeopardy.
Now let's work hard and have some fun, Go Panthers!

Terry Fox
It has been a couple of weeks since our annual Terry Fox Fun Run. On what turned out to be a beautiful day weather wise, the smiles and effort displayed by all of our students put an exclamation point on a wonderful afternoon.
Our fundraising effort has yet to be tallied so check back for the final sum. The Terry Fox Foundation will forward us that number when all monies have been submitted.
Great work Panthers!!!
Boy's Softball
Our season has come to a close. We played our final game against Joseph Howe in the semi final. Unfortunately our journey ended there as we were defeated 10-2.
Despite the loss, our team improved steadily over the course of the season. Many players, who were not previously in the line up, worked their way into permanent spots through hard work and determination, which was a pleasure to see.
The coaches would like to thank our players for their dedication and willingness to learn and their determination to get better.
We will be wrapping the season up with a small celebratory lunch, Friday, October 29th. Good work Panthers!!!

- teams and team names must be submitted to Mr. Church for approval
- all teams must have at least one female player on the floor at all times

Boy's JVB
Our quarter final match did not provide the results we were hoping for. Although the team played well, we made a few too many mistakes which Mason Road took advantage of, winning 2 sets 25-23 and 25-19. We had leads in both sets but couldn't hold them.
Despite our quarterfianl loss, I believe the season was very successful. Our 5's garnered a lot of game experience which will be invaluable for next year, and the 6's learned valuable lessons on their road to the quarters. The entire team showed tremendous dedication and enthusiasm and were a pleasure to coach. Keep practicing boys, you will only get better!
GO PANTHERS!!
Tuesday, December 8, 2015
Boy's JVB Practice/Playoff Update
We will have a full team practice (both grades 5 and 6) tomorrow morning at 725am.
After school the grade 6's will travel to Mason Road P.S. for their quarterfinal match up. Provided we are successful, on Thursday the entire team will travel to West Hill P.S. for the semi-final and possible championship.
If the grade 8's that attended practice on Monday are reading this, I would like to extend our gratitude for your help. We will not need you for tomorrow.

Boy's JVB Update #4
The grade 5 boys played hard but could not follow the success of the grade 6's. With another year still to go the future does indeed look bright.
The 6's returned to the court for their championship match against Manhattan Park. Having already exorcised their exhibition demons, Clairlea won their 2 sets to complete the sweep and have earned a spot in the quarter finals to be played some time early next week. Practices times will be posted shortly. Way to go boys, you all did great, but the real work is about to begin!!
Boy's JVB Update #3
We have won our fifth in a row and as a result finish as the number 1 seed going into the playoff round. We have 1 round robin game left in which our grade 5's will test their mettle. After this 6th game we will face the winner of the semifinal between North Bendale and Manhattan Park.
Boy's JVB Tournament Update
We have arrived safely and await our 1st game. The schedule for today is a little out of the ordinary as there are no scheduled times. We will be playing on a rotational basis 1 set at a time until each team has played 6 sets. A 1st 2nd and 3rd ranking will be assigned and then a playoff round will begin. I will keep you posted.

Boy's JVB - Update
The boys traveled to Samuel Hearne yesterday and in spite some initial confusion, we're able to play. Although we did not earn a win, a lot of valuable experience was gained. As it turns out the Hearne coach does double duty for both the grade 6 and grade 8 team. They were expecting our 8's.
As a result we no longer have our scheduled Thursday game. However our senior team has a home game this Thursday and if possible, I would like our boys to stay to watch this game.
Tomorrow we still have our game against Manhattan Park, and at the request of the team, we will be adding a practice tomorrow morning, 725 as usual. Since this practice was added so late, I will understand if your athlete can not make it. Regardless I will be here ready to work for those that can make it.
Thursday, November 12, 2015
Boy's JVB Nov 16-20
This is a very busy week for the junior boy's volleyball team. As we gear up for our tournament we have arranged for some exhibiton games to help us prepare.
In addition to our usual Monday, Tuesday and Thursday morning practices we have 3 exhibition games scheduled.
On Monday and Thursday we will be traveling to Samuel Hearne after school via the TTC. Hearne is located just south of Clairlea on Pharmacy (before Danforth). We should be back to Clairlea by 5pm. It will be dark by the time we return and players will have to make their own way home once we return to school. Since children under 12 now travel for free on the TTC, no bus fare is needed.
On Wednesday we will be hosting Manhattan Park. Things should be wrapped up in the neighbourhood of 430. Again students will have to make their own way home after the game.
It's going to be a busy week, however the boys are super pumped!!!
