Each year, over 40% of Old Scona’s student population participates in athletics. We are a member of Metro Edmonton High School Athletics and offer competitive teams in multiple sports, including men’s and women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s team handball, men’s and women’s soccer, badminton, swim, cross-country running, and track and field. If we don’t offer a sport you’re looking for, we will do our best to support your needs and interests as an athlete.
Despite not having a gym, we are able to use elementary schools in the surrounding area to practice and train. We have a rich tradition of success and have won multiple Metro Athletics Championships. Many of our athletes and teams also participate in and have won Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association (ASAA) Provincial Championships. Students are encouraged to try out for any team and be part of this great experience.
In addition to our many teams, Old Scona also offers students the opportunity to be leaders in our athletics community. Application to our Athletics Council is open to any Old Scona student. The council provides ways for students to gain leadership experience in fundraising endeavors, school activities, and generating team and athlete support. This council meets weekly and is instrumental in the development and success of our athletics program. This council provides a great opportunity for students to be involved, make a difference and meet new people.
