We believe that every student has the capability to engage in 蜜桃视频鈥檚 athletics program.
Our program has the breadth to meet the needs of a diverse group of students and the depth to challenge students at all stages of development. Through participation in athletics, students will develop the confidence to maintain a healthy active lifestyle, whether through elite or recreational sport, beyond their time at 蜜桃视频. Participation in sport contributes to the overall wellbeing and long-term athlete development of students.
For competitive sports, in Grade 9, the athletics program focuses on 鈥渢raining to train,鈥� which develops physical capacities and athletic-specific movement, skills and fitness. The Grade 10 to 12 program centres around 鈥渢raining to compete,鈥� which optimizes fitness preparation, sport/event specific skills and performance. This approach readies students for the next stage of athlete development, 鈥渢raining to win,鈥� for full-time athletes at the post-secondary level.
We also offer unique sports such as Nordic skiing and disc golf which may appeal to students who are not in a competitive stream yet still want to experience athletics. Additionally, many of our teams offer both a Division 1 and Division 2 offering to accommodate the varying interests and abilities of our students.
Teamwork
Athletics Overview
蜜桃视频 offers Senior School students a variety of options to participate in a range of physical activities. From team sports to extensive athletic facilities, students are able to fine tune their skills in fun and challenging ways. 蜜桃视频 also recognizes the outside achievements of students. These accomplishments are highlighted in Gator Zone, our athletics newsletter, on social media and at the Junior School鈥檚 Beyond the Ivy Wall bulletin board.
Intra-School Athletics
The goal of the intra-school athletics program is to provide a variety of opportunities for all students to stay active and develop a lifelong commitment to healthy, active living, while having fun. Our Senior School teams compete in the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA). Senior school teams may qualify for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association (OFSAA) championships. Students may participate in intramurals and other athletic events school-wide throughout the year.
