• Grade 5

  The Grade 5 soccer team consists of over 40 boys divided into four squads. The Grade 5 soccer games are played with 7 players and are 30 minutes in length. Each team will be equally matched with regard to skill level, and boys will be given equal opportunity to play. The emphasis is on having fun, developing sportsmanlike attitudes and enjoying the game of soccer. The first practice is on the second Friday of the school year (September 13). Boys compete primarily in mini-tournaments in the local ISEA league throughout the term. The boys are expected to bring their full complement of soccer wear including their school tracksuit, to each game. Soccer finishes with Playday tournament held at Meadowridge School (October 18).

  Junior School soccer season starts on the first week of school in September and ends on the last week of October with the ISEA Tournament. Grade 7A team practices every Monday and Wednesday after school (3:30 pm – 5:00 pm) and every Thursday after lunch (Games Periods). Games are scheduled for weekdays after school or, in the case of the ISEA Tournament (Tuesday, October 22, 2019), during a school day. The CAIS Tournament is an exception. The tournament generally takes place on the third week of October and requires travelling to the host school. Boys on the Grade 7A team are therefore absent from school for the week leading up to the tournament. This year’s event takes place at Ashbury School in Ottawa (October 17–19, 2019). The team will be departing school on Tuesday, October 15th and returning on Saturday, October 19th.
