BADMINTON

Tryouts begin in late February with approximately 20 - 25 students of both genders comprising the official squad. Open gym time is offered at least once a week to any badminton players, whether they are on the team or not. Several minimeets occur each week, giving players a chance to compete in a tournament format against two or three schools before the city championship which usually occurs on the last Saturday in April. Players who win gold or silver at cities advance to regionals and even to provincials.

Curling

The overall philosophy is to have fun, but at the same time we encourage skills and strategy development. We also work on the development of interpersonal skills such as working together cooperatively and following through on commitment. As a result, all students are expected to attend all practices and games. The curling season runs from mid-November to the beginning of February.

Cross Country Running

Basketball

The basketball teams are comprised of senior and junior girls and senior and junior boys teams. The roster is usually comprised of 12 to 15 players. They play two to three times per week and practice on non-game days during the week. Teams will participate in conference play against other large schools as determined by the RHSAA. The basketball start date is often the middle of November, with the season ending in the middle of March. The schedule is complimented by tournaments, both in town and out of town, dependent on the team.
