Our tournament is this coming Monday (June 18) at Birchcliff Heights P.S.. Players are to arrive at Clairlea for 8:30am as we will be leaving immediately after morning announcements. I anticipate that we will be back in plenty of time before the 3:15pm bell.
Players are asked to come prepared with a snacks, a lunch, hat, sunscreen, liquids and a good attitude.
Have a great weekend, and please don't get injured. Go Panthers!!!
What a ride it has been with these grade 7 and 8 girls.
They have many reasons to hold their heads high today as they brought home the title of conference finalist! We couldn't be more proud of this group considering more than half of them joined the team with zero baseball experience. Hard work, dedication, good spirit and sportsmanship combined, made this a winning team. The grade 8s will be greatly missed next year, but will forever be in our hearts. Congratulations to all!!
Our practice schedule has changed to Wednesday and Thursday morning, 7:15-8:15 am this week.
Just a SMALL reminder that we will be practicing Monday 3:15-4:15pm and Tuesday and Thursday morning 7:15-8 15 am.

As was mentioned in practice this morning, Tuesday's (tomorrow) practice has been moved to Wednesday at lunch.
With a very successful week, the boys showed the skill level we knew they possessed, which in turn resulted in 2 straight wins and a playoff berth. This week we will be practising as usual Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 730 am. Our divisional semifinal will be played at Clairlea sometime this week. Once a day has been finalized it will posted to the blog. Great work boys, keep it going!!!
Our practices this week are unchanged. However instead of having an away game on Thursday against Birchcliff, we will now be hosting that game. And just a friendly reminder we will be hosting tonight's game against Treadway-Woodsworth.

The World Cup has wrapped up for another year. The race for the final 2 playoff spots was just the beginning of what turned into a thrilling second half of the season. Italy, Argentina and Brazil all had to wait until the final game of the round robin to find out their fate.
As a result of a 3-3 Brazil - Argentina tie, the final four were set as Germany and Portugal awaited their opponents. Each semifinal showcased the teamwork required to win a championship. Unlike the round robin portion where scores were, at times, very lopsided, the semis proved to be very evenly matched. Both games were pushed into penalties by late game heroics, and it was Portugal and Brazil each coming out with 4-3 victories to make their way onto the finale.
Much in the same fashion as the semi finals, the championship proved to be just as exciting. With a brace by both sides, for the third game in a row, the outcome was to be decided by penalties. In the end Brazil came from narrowly making the playoffs to being crowned 2017 World Cup Champions.
Congratulations to all of this year's participants! You worked hard, you got better, and it looked like you had a lot of fun!
Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, today's practice is cancelled. See you all Thursday morning.
This is a reminder that we will be practicing Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings at 730 am this week.
A big congratulations to all of this year's team selections. With only 8 students showing an interest, the selection process was very easy.
We will start our practices next week, Monday and Thursday morning at 730 sharp. See you there boys!
Our junior boy's volleyball team will be conducting tryouts this Wednesday morning at 730 am in the gym. This is a grade 6 team which will be open to grade 5 boys as well.
This is a competitive team that will be facing other schools. Unlike the intramural leagues in which all players get equal playing time, the structure for grade 6 volleyball is slightly different. For games the team will dress 8 players. I would like to give the opportunity to at least 12 to practice, selecting the top 8 for games. Those top 8 have the potential to be interchanged, but not necessarily. Players outside of the top 8 will have the opportunity to work on their skills for the future. This is the structure for this year's team. Please have a discussion within your family regarding this structure.
Good luck to all who tryout!
Mr. Church
World Cup 2017 is well underway! Half the season is in the books as our five teams jockey for one of four playoff spots that are up for grabs. Speculation on which teams will make the final four is the subject of many recess debates. With each team still in position to move on, the next five games will bear significant weight in securing those spots!
The team managers, Akeelah, Kari, Abby, Jayla and Angel have done an excellent job having their teams ready to play. From picking up the pinnies, to organizing their teams and colours, every team has been ready to play from each moment the referee has stepped on the pitch. Keep up the good work!
Just a reminder there will be no game on Wednesday, October 6 due to picture day.
