Our first meet (open to Gr.1-7 –the only meet offered to our Grade 1s) is the Star of the Sea Cross-Country meet.  It will be held at Crescent Park in South Surrey.  This is a great participation meet and it is close to our school.  This is a fun meet and the boys and girls will run with their age groups. 

Our second meet is the CISVA Cross-Country meet (Gr. 2-7) is at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. This meet has a competitive and non-competitive portion. All students will participate in 1 run.  The 4 CCS athletes with the fastest times from each age group will compete in the competitive run (with the option of the Fun Run, if they have enough energy to do so).  All other runners will take part in the fun run. Cross Country Coaches will decide the 4 runners that will participate in the competitive race.

Permission forms will be sent home once all meet information is made available to us.

Welcome Back Everyone! PE and Athletics reminders (ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO SIGN UP FOR THIS BLOG'S EMAILS)

Hello and welcome back,

A huge shout out to all of the Work Bee Families who helped to prepare the exterior of the school and grass field for use... especially the Currie and Call families.  Brad and Rob have been maintaining our field all summer.  

 

I just thought I'd send out a hello and welcome.  Here are some thoughts that may help for the start of this school year;

PE list

-Proper Athletic (running) shoe (I can give you some suggestions)

-Building routines or responsibilities (gr 3+) for remembering the FULL Gym Strip

Extracurricular Equipment

-Soccer cleats and shin pads and socks (gr 5, 6, 7 boys)

-Volleyball knee pads (gr 5, 6, 7)

The CCS Athletics Department works hard to communicate efficiently and effectively with parents each year.  Mr. Klaponski (the PE teacher and Athletics Coordinator) is responsible for updating his blog on the school calendar with up to date information about upcoming athletic events.  There you will find the PE timeline (showing all the PE times for Classes), team practice times (weekly schedule), permission slips and Term 1 games schedule (once game and event times have been finalized within our association), and other pertinent information.  He also updates all CCS athletics events, home and away games on the school calendar with google map directions. 

If a game or practice is cancelled on the day of the event students will phone to make arrangements.  If the game is the next day then the athlete will be told during the day and the website will be updated. 

Volunteer opportunities arise throughout the year in the Athletics Department and Mr. Klaponski’s Blog is the best place to learn what is available and how you can support us.

CCS families have always been very supportive and as the saying goes… “without you we couldn’t have such a successful program for our kids.”  So please, when you are planning to attend a practice / game / event or if you have an idea on how to help us, do let us know in advance so we can make arrangements with you and give you training if necessary. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Matthew Klaponski

CCS CISVA Track Team Result and Gratitude

Out of 35 schools we are very proud to say CCS achieved 11th place over all.  Extra-curricular track at CCS is very involved but I believe the best athletic opportunity our school offers our students.  A special thank you to all of our coaches who after teaching all day on Tuesday and Thursday (or at lunchtime) gave of their spare time to instruct the children.  I am annually reminded of the sacrifices they have made. Finally to the families of our athletes who helped us by driving, supervising or coaching.  Thanks!
