Cross Country Blast

What a day!  CCS students were running hard in the wind and sporadic rain today along the beach at Boundary Bay Park.  The excitement and enthusiasm of the athletes at our school's first meet certainly raised the spirits of the runners and spectators who came out... it also helped take our minds off of the temperature (burrr!).
A good lesson learned was to always come prepared for the weather (jackets, sweatpants, we even had a toque today)  "It sure felt like fall" -anonymous.  We can't wait for the CISVA meet on Tuesday!


Check the school calendar and click on the event and map to get good directions.  There is some parking next to the stadium but also off Boundary Rd or Imperial street... there is a little walk to the stadium from these locations so plan ahead.  CCS sure appreciates all of the parent drivers and when drivers take the time to check the directions on line.  It helps us leave the school in a timely manner and causes less disruption to classes.
Go United!

BBQ at the Boundary Bay Cross Country Meet

I just found out that there will be a BBQ (for participants only) at the meet on Friday.  As the students cross the finish line they will be given a ticket for a hot dog, bag of chips and a chocolate milk.  Yummy!
Grade 2 girls start at 11:30am and alternate boys... girls... up to Grade 7s.  Pray for good weather!

Coach __________ (insert coach's name here), is there practice today?  What time does it start?  When do we leave the school for our game?  If you have had any or all of these questions you can get most of them answered just by checking the school calendar or the PE/Athletics Blog. But if you want the latest info emailed directly to you...

If your child is in Athletics at CCS it will really be helpful to you.

Crescent Park Cross-Country Meet

Please come prepared for the weather on Monday.  Students will leave the school at 11:30am to arrive at the Park with time to stretch and warm-up.  Directions to the park will be available at the school office on Monday.

Rain, Rain, Go away! Come again another day!

With the rain pouring down on me as I road my bike to the school this morning I thought that this would be a good time to remind CCS Athletes that we always try to play our scheduled games... even in a little rain. 

Today's Senior Players should come prepared to play in the rain! A decision about the game will be made by lunchtime to give players time to contact family and alert them with the information.

We rarely cancel practices too so always plan to play.  Coaches can often take students into a classroom to talk about game strategy/rules or maybe even watch a demonstration video on a Smart Board. 

Cross-Country Training and Permissions

Have you been wondering when Cross-Country Training was happening?  Well this year we decided to have the students in grades 1-7 train for cross-country during their 30 min PE blocks.  All PE students are training at this time too and run a certain number of laps based on their grade level.  The cross-country team runners each try to improve their time by timing themselves and recording their times.  Bring in your Cross-Country permission slips by Thursday at noon to help us prepare for the number of runners attending the meets next week.  We will meet as a team Thursday.

CCS Athletic schedules are on the "School Calendar!"

Check out the School Calendar to view athletic events (Soccer, V-ball and Cross country) for the fall season.  Also, permission forms (with game, tournament and meet dates) will be going home this week.

Extra-curricular practices have begun!

Extra-curricular practices for 5-7 girls volleyball and 4-7 boys soccer have begun.  For the Practice Schedule click on "School information" and "Athletics".

PE Strip Compliance

Thanks to all students and their families for coming prepared for PE classes wearing full PE strip.

This month we will be focusing on Soccer (or if you prefer using the name Football) and Volleyball.  Extra-curricular practices for 5-7 girls volleyball and 4-7 boys soccer have also begun.  Click on "Athletics" under "School Information" to find the Practice and Open Gym times.  Open Gym times are for students that would like to be able to practice a certain skill.  Get a game organized by coming with a classmate or more.  Mr. Klaponski will be supervising the gym times and the invitation is open to any responsible students who will use the time effectively.  Let him know ahead of time so he can be prepared to supervise.     
Go CCS UNITED!
