🏐Tripleball🏐
Tripleball is the next sport on the Jr Athletics menu!
Tripleball is essentially a modified, entry-level version of volleyball designed for young athletes. It promotes better skill development, more playing time, and fun. The core difference from standard volleyball is a sequence of three rallies per rotation, with an incoming ball toss from a coach after each incoming serve (from the opposing team). This ensures more action and successful returns/rallies.
We have started developing our volleyball skills in PE class using lightweight OMNIKIN volleyballs & “trainer balls” and will transition to regular volleyballs as our skills develop.
Tripleball TOURNAMENT TEAMS
Broadview will be sending both a Boys' & Girls' Tournament Team to our Region 2 Tripleball Tournaments in December. These teams will each be made up of twelve players (Grades 5&6).
All interested Grade 5 & 6 students are invited to attend tryouts & should attend both (or 3, if necessary) tryouts.

JUNIOR DIVISION SCHOOL-BASED TEAM SPORTS- BPS Philosophy & Team Selection
The primary goal of elementary school sports is to get students active and participating in different sports throughout the year. Team selection is a difficult process and is not based solely on ability level. Selection is based on a mix of participation, sportsmanship, skill, and coachability.
Given the large population of our Junior Division, individual students can participate in 2 of the 4 following sports teams (Soccer, Tripleball, Bordenball & Basketball), each year. This allows a greater number of students to experience being part of a school team.
Please note that school-day Intramurals and coaching of Regional Sports Teams are done on a purely voluntary basis, during the teachers' free time, on top of their teaching responsibilities. As teaching is the first priority, please understand that we do not have time to respond to parent requests as to why their child did not make a team. (We are aware of how not making a team causes major disappointment, and we genuinely detest making kids sad!! We wish we could always take everybody!!)
