Welcome to a new school year!
We will be getting rolling soon with Junior Athletics.
First sport: Cross-country Running (Grades 3-6)
FORMS required (please see below)
While we do not yet have a date for our Regional Cross-country Running Meet, we are getting ready to start our team practices.
This extracurricular activity is open to students in grades 3, 4, 5 & 6.
While students do not need to 'try out' for the team, they do need to attend practices regularly and demonstrate the ability to run the required distance without stopping, (by the end of the three-week practice period).
A commitment is absolutely necessary! :)
Grades 4-6: Practices will take place before school on Wednesday and Friday mornings, from 8:30-9:00, in the main yard, near the soccer posts.
Grade 3: Practices will take place during the school day, during the first recess on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The first practice will take place on Friday, September 11th. Practice dates and times have been added to the BPS Calendar.
Required Distances
Grade 3 (1km) Approx. 4 continuous laps around the BPS 'track' (paved path around soccer field)
Grade 4 (1.4km) Approx. 5 1/2 laps around BPS 'track'
Grade 5 (1.8km) Approx. 7 laps around 'track'
Grade 6 (2.2km) Approx. 8 1/2 laps around 'track'
IF your child is interested in attending practices, the following Form needs to be completed & submitted in advance of attending the first practice. (Please avoid using a cellphone to complete the form. We're not sure why, but cellphone-completed forms often do not make it to us...)
