Thursday, March 12th UPDATE:
Good day! Due to another meeting I must attend, tomorrow's CoEd Volleyball practice at lunch is cancelled. Teams will be announced at morning recess in the gym.
To all the students who tried out, well done! Your effort and enthusiasm throughout tryouts/practices was impressive.
Thanks and good luck! Mr. Kasaval.
If you have any further questions, please email me at craig.kasaval@tdsb.on.ca.
EXTRA INFORMATION:
WILKINSON LIONS SPORTS TEAMS (google site): This site is strictly for information pertaining to Wilkinson sports teams. The same information will be available on my website. To join you must let me know if you want an invite to your student email account. Once you check your email and accept the invite, parents can add their email address or I can input it manually.
MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS: Be sure your class is quiet in the morning as meetings are often called and occasional cancellations of practices. I will do my best to let parents and students well ahead of time on both my website and google site.
NOTES HOME: Occasionally I will have notes to go home. These notes will be the same information posted on the website and google classroom. We are an ECO school so I try to limit the amount of paper used.
TRYOUTS/TEAM MAKE UP: There will be tryouts. Many if not all of the teams I coach have tryouts and practices are extended for several weeks and teams are finalized closer to the tournament date. Subs are asked to come to practice and will be used to incase of a sickness or injury or possible disciplinary reasons. They will be informed prior to the tournament if they will be playing. Occasionally sports teams will have practice squads after the team has been fin
The tournament team will play in the tournament. The practice team will continue to come to practice if they wish to. It’s a great way to continue practicing skills plus there have been occasions where a tournament team player may not be able to make the tournament. If such a situation arises, I may choose a player from the practice squad as a placement.
As much as grades 4-6’s can try out, these are grade 6 teams. I’ll be taking 12 students for the girls volleyball team and 10-12 for the Boys basketball team. I, Mr. Kasaval will be coaching both teams.
Good luck, if you have any questions please email me craig.kasaval@tdsb.on.ca and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can.
Consideration will be given to grade 5 and 4 students.
SOME IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT EXTRACURRICULAR TEAMS:
All sports teams are for grades 4-6 only with the exception of the Cross Country team which includes grades 1-3. These are competitive teams. In many cases due to the number of students, cuts are made to teams. Format of play is a tournament between other schools or an area meet (cross country and track and field) where teams or individuals can advance. Some coaches may have longer tryout sessions than others. Please email the coach or ask during sign up or team meetings.
COMMUNICATION: HERE ON THIS SITE, AND MY GOOGLE SITE (WILKINSON LIONS SPORTS TEAMS), **SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS PLEASE PAY ATTENTION DURING CLASS**, TEAM MEETINGS, PRACTICES.
CODE OF CONDUCT: Students are to adhere to TDSB'S/WILKINSON JUNIOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS CODE OF CONDUCT when participating on extracurricular teams. The code of conduct will be shared during team meetings.
VOLUNTEERING: For big events, coaches may ask for parent volunteers due to the number of students on a team. Coaches will reach out to parents if they are in need of a community coach. Paperwork must be handed in prior to this. (see below).
ABSENT/OTHER ENGAGEMENTS: If you know you're going away or have other engagements during practices/tryouts please let the coaches know ahead of time.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: PLEASE CHECK WITH THE COACHES AS TO WHETHER OUTDOOR PRACTICES WILL BE HELD IN THE GYM AS A RESULT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE DOOR CLOSEST TO THE PARKING LOT AND ACROSS FROM THE BASKETBALL COURT WILL BE OPEN.
Wilkinson Lions Sports Teams google classroom info for those interested in joining:
***If you want to join, you will need to log in and activate your student email. I can only send an invite via the student email account first, then I can add parents. Please email me if you would like to have your child invited.

However, I can remove you from the google classroom once the sport is over that you or your sons or daughters were trying out or playing for. Just email me to be removed.
