Grade 8 Girl's Volleyball 2024

Good morning team and parents, happy new year! As we prepare for the tournament in about a month's time, the following will be important info for you to have moving forward. PRACTICES will be Monday morning before school from 7:30-8:45 and Tuesday after school from 3:35-4:45. There may be intermittent Friday morning practices but those will be announce week to week. As life can sometimes throw curveballs, please check the blog Monday morning before practice, if there is no message indicating a change, practice is on as usual. This will also apply if there is a Friday morning practice.

I hope everyone had a restful holiday and are ready to hit the court spiking in the new year! Have a great weekend and I will see you Monday morning.

Grade 7 Girls Volleyball

Practice Schedule 

Tuesday mornings - 7:30sharp

Wednesday afternoon - 3:30-5pm. 

Friday, January 5, 2024

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.

More Cross Country News...


Great Job this past week everyone! There are some incredible overall results and many personal best times. We are so proud of everyone -- you have strived to do your best and pushed yourself to achieve your goals. Congratulations! There is still more time to improve. Please try to come to all your practices this week...remember that we will meet on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. 

We hope you're getting excited to head to Thomson Park... 

So far, over 80 runners have qualified for the meet or have expressed interest in the Fun Run. 

If you have qualified for the 1st meet or are coming to Thomson Park to try out the Fun Run, bring your permission forms back Monday OR Tuesday of this week. Please make sure you hand them into to one of your coaches!

Check out the link below for race day schedules, course maps, chip timing, and more! 

Cross Country  

Starting Tuesday, our running route will be flipped. We will be starting at the corner of Edge Park and Victoria Park. Grade groups will be taking turns at the new starting line as they make their way up the hill for the first leg of the race, similar to that of the route at Thomson  Park. 

Due to our efforts to avoid the soccer field because of practices and tournaments starting this week, our new route will be shy of 1km (approx.840m) (see rough estimate map below). 


DRIVERS NEEDED!  About 20 drivers will be needed to make this day happen. As we collect forms this coming week, we will start to get a better idea of who is going with whom. Parents, please be sure to indicate your email address so we can reach out to you personally. Those who indicate they can be a volunteer driver will get a driving form on Monday or Tuesday. Please look out for this form and be sure to complete and return it to your coaches by Wednesday!

Congratulation runners! You did such a fabulous job yesterday at Thomson Park. Everyone is so proud of the way you represented our school and how hard you worked through the season. Unfortunately, not everyone moves on to the cities and we'd like to thank you all for coming out and working so hard this season. Below is a list of all the students moving on next Wednesday. Please visit the link for all the information you will need. Runners need to bring back the letter they were given that asks whether they need a drive with a coach or if they will be going with a parent on  race day. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK TO SCHOOL MONDAY! 
We will be having two more practices next week for all running club members on Monday and Tuesday. See you there everyone and congratulations again! 

Finalists

Cross-Country- HEADS-UP!

We hope you're reading this as you prepare to head to bed for a nice long sleep. Just a heads up, we will NOT be using our purple Clairlea tent tomorrow. One of our coaches will be arriving at the park at 930am and will set up the blue tent at the same location as last week! All grade 3 runners arriving with parents will be receiving their jerseys and bibs when the tent arrives. See you there! Go PANTHERS!

October 20 - East Finals + October 26 City Finals Info

Our next meet will take place back at Thomson Park this Thursday. According to our convenor, the courses will change slightly due to some issues with the races last week. We have not been made aware of these changes yet. Stay tuned. 

Below we've attached the schedule for Oct.20. 

*Please note, Grade 3 boys race first, at 10am. *

You will also notice slots for fun runs. We are only taking competitors back to the meet. 


We have a bus booked for this event. Any student who needs a place on the bus will have one. However, the grade 7&8 races take place after the bus departs the park at 1:40pm and as such, these students will need to be escorted by parents/volunteer drivers back to school. 

(Thursday's weather forecast looks cold and rainy. Something to keep in mind as you rare making your arrangements). 

Coming home tomorrow is a form that will need to be completed by parents for Tuesday.  The form will indicate whether you will be transporting your child (and others?) to the meet or if they need a spot on the bus or if they can go with a volunteer driver at the end of the day.

Information for CITY FINALS on October 26th, at Centennial Park in Etobicoke, has not been shared as of yet. We will be posting that info as soon as it comes in, likely later in the week. 

We have gotten our hands on the Centennial courses for grades 4-6 and 7-8 only. We're unable to load them to the blog today so we will send the routes home with runners tomorrow. 

As always, should you have any questions or concerns please reach out to any of our coaches. 

Go PANTHERS!


SUNDAY - 10:30am - Thomson Park Practice

 Good Morning Panthers! 

Bundle up and tie up those laces! A couple coaches will be at the STARTING line at 10:30 this morning. We recommend that parents park in the FIRST lot closest to Lawrence Ave. (on race day this past week, we directed you to the 2nd lot which was closest to our purple tent and the finish line). Save yourself some time and park in the first lot.  Once parked, you'll look for a narrow entrance to the dog park and you will see playgrounds situated on the left and the power lines to the right. Walk down the paths to see us at the base of the hill. We will primarily be working the hills. Runners who wish to run their course may have to do so with their caregiver as there are not enough bodies to supervise through the paths. See you soon!

Friday, October 14, 2022

Did you know?

You may not recall that Running Club will continue to run until October 26. Anyone who has been signed up for the club is welcome to continue participating, even if they are not competing in the meets. Hope to see you all there Monday morning! 

PRACTICE - Cross-Country - Thomson Park - Sunday, Oct. 16

 FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN PRACTICING THE ROUTE AT THOMSON PARK THIS SUNDAY, PLEASE JOIN US! 

FROM 10:30am-11:30am you will find some of your coaches at the starting line. We will be working that HILL!! Come out to race your friends -- it will be a good time. 

If you'd like to send an email to let us know you're coming, please do.

Cross Country Info for October 13th

 The info below was sent home on a white paper today! 

Please read it if you haven't already. 

TRANSPORTATION:

BUS

All runners who indicated they need a spot on the BUS are asked to arrive at school no later than 8:50am, on Thursday, October 13. In the big gym,

they will check in with their coaches, and settle in to wait to be loaded on the bus. The bus will depart

Clairlea at approximately 9:15am and will arrive at Thompson Park by approx 9:40am. The first

race (gr.3 boys) is scheduled for 10:30.


VOLUNTEER DRIVERS

Thank you to all those who volunteered to drive students to and from the meet. If you have NOT been

contacted, we will not be needing your services. Volunteer drivers are asked to come to the big

gym by 9am. We will depart for Thompson park with our car loads once the bus is on it’s way.

There are 2 entrances to Thompson Parks Parking lots. It will be best to park in the 2nd further

lot from Lawrence Ave., as it is closest to our Clairlea Tent...and the washrooms! 


RUNNERS with PARENTS

Runners who are going to and from the park with their parents only are asked to arrive at the park

at least 45 min before their race time. When arriving at the park, they will need to head to our Clairlea

tent(s) closer to the finish line, and check in with the coaches to obtain their time-chipped bib and Clairlea

wear. Runners with parents are welcome to stay the whole day to support the team, however,

families wishing to get their child back to school may do so. - PLEASE let your coaches know

when students are leaving the park and be sure to return their Clairlea wear. If you do not plan to send your child back to school and you’d like to keep them for the day,

PLEASE call the school and advise the office. 


CLOTHING + Spirit Wear

Please keep a watch on the weather and dress appropriately for the day. Dressing in layers is encouraged. BRING EXTRA SOCKS as the grass will be wet. If there is rain in the forecast, students who have rain boots are encouraged to

wear them and pack their runners. If boots are not an option, perhaps consider bringing an extra pair of runners, if possible. Maybe consider an umbrella!!

Those who did not order cross-country t-shirts or spirit wear will be offered an alternative jersey or

Clairlea tee. If students have Clairlea spirit wear from former years, they are invited to wear it! 

FOOD

Students need to pack a healthy, litterless lunch. They are encouraged to have a nice filling breakfast as

well. Don’t forget to label your water bottle!


AT THE PARK

Our tent(s) will be situated closer to the finish line. There will be grass space around us where students

will hang out during the day. A selection of sports equipment will be brought to the park but students are

reminded that this is a long day for most and need to be prepared to fill their time with activities that

enable them to represent Clairlea in a positive light. Students who behave in a manner that does not

respect our Clairlea code of conduct may be pulled from the day and transported back to school. To help

pass the time, students are invited to bring activities like cards, writing/colouring tools, books, etc. 


RETURNING TO SCHOOL

Should the races remain on schedule, all runners needing a spot on the bus in grades 3-6 will be

boarding by 1:40pm. We will monitor the grade 7 races to see whether they will need to be escorted back in carloads.

Grade 7/8 runners have been assigned a seat in a parent volunteer vehicle, with the last runners

returning to Clairlea by 3:30pm.


Tuesday, October 11, 2022

Cross Country and Running Club

Tomorrow morning we will meet like last week, at the intermediate basketball courts. Please arrive no later than 8:10am as we will be providing runners with information about Thursdays meet at Thompson Park. As we will be running on potentially wet grass, please don't forget an extra pair or two of socks.
See you there!
