Soccer Academy - A new Soccer Academy will be offered at Windsor Secondary beginning in the 2012/13 school year. Students in the Academy have an opportunity to improve their soccer skills and earn PE credit while balancing their secondary studies.
The North Vancouver School District has formed a partnership with the North Shore Girls’ Soccer Club to offer a Soccer Academy at Windsor Secondary School. The Soccer Academy, parallel in design to the NVSD Hockey Academy, will provide for the participation of all students, male and female, regardless of their soccer experience. The primary facility for the Soccer Academy will be the state of the art Indoor Soccer Bubble featuring brand new turf and a temperature controlled environment, allowing for year round play.
The Soccer Academy at Windsor Secondary School will begin in September, 2012. Students who register for the Academy must be attending or have registered for a North Vancouver School District school. Classes will be held in period 4 and 8 - the afternoon period which is consistent with most North Vancouver Secondary schools.Transportation to and from the Academy is the sole responsibility of the parent/guardian.
The program will consist of a soccer curriculum as set out by the North Shore Girls’ Soccer Club and will be in compliance with the BC Ministry of Education Prescribed Learning Outcomes for Physical Education. Students earn their grade-equivalent P.E. credit upon successful completion of the program.
Note: Registration in the Soccer Academy will not affect a player’s ability to play on their home school’s soccer team.
