Athletics
Our Elementary Athletics Program
Some of you may be wondering why it is important to have teams at the Grade 6/7 level. Well...
-
It is at this age that students are often first introduced to sports at a competitive level. This level, while somewhat competitive, is still low-key enough to be enjoyable even for those students who are not athletically gifted.
-
These athletes form the beginnings of teams at the junior and senior levels.
-
At this level, kids can try out different sports and decide what they want to specialize in later on in their athletic career. At Cedars, Grade 6/7 kids have a smorgasbord of athletic options from which to choose – cross-country running, volleyball, basketball, relays, and track and field.
While volleyball for the Gr. 6/7 girls (staff sponsors: Lara Burnham and Sage Goudsward, coaches Dori Alger and Sage Goudsward), and the Gr. 6/7 boys (teacher sponsor: Heather Fisher, coaches Gloria/Joe Heffernan) is winding down, we're already planning for the basketball season which will begin after the Christmas break. Coaches confirmed so far are: Mr. Beeksma, Mr. Ludditt, Mr. Goertzen/Mr. Uy, and Mrs. Goudsward. If you are interested in being an assistant coach with one of the basketball at the Grade 6/7 level from January-March, please contact me!
Mr. Jack Beeksma
