Basketball Season Results

2012-02-15T19:39:00.000-08:00

We are very proud of all our teams and their efforts this season. Most importantly, the players' work allowed them to build their skill, knowledge and teamwork. Players should be proud of the way they practiced and played.
Some highlights include 5 boys winning second place at the Star of the Sea Tournament. Also at the tournament the 5 girls were, by popular choice, the happiest team on the court. Our very own 7s won their own tournament just this last Friday. The combination of the boys' defense and the girls' offensive firepower led to success in the final against OLA. Both the 7 and 6 girls also won the IC tournament. The tough competition at the OLPH tournament led to the 6 boys finishing 4th and the 6 girls finishing 3rd.
The 6 girls finished 2nd in their zone after a nail bitter placement game. Both the 6 boys and 7 girls finished first in their zone and today won their first round games.
Stay tuned for an update on the Vancouver College tournament on the 24th and the 6 girls playoff game next Wednesday vs. QAS.
Good luck in your next playoff game players!

CCS Basketball Team Practices begin on Monday

2011-11-23T15:00:00.000-08:00

Players have been practicing at "player practices" for the past three weeks with Mr. Klaponski. They have increased their knowledge and skills and demonstrated their commitment to their team. Coaches are excited to work with their players starting the week of Monday (Nov. 28th). It is important that players show their commitment by attending practices and practicing on their own at recess and after school. Team plays and knowledge is provided at practices so it is vital that all players attend. Be sure to inform your coach, well ahead of time, of your reason for not attending a practice.

CCS Basketball TEAM Practices and Coaches NOW POSTED!

Jersey Return Time

2011-11-11T13:02:00.000-08:00

Please help me by returning all soccer and v-ball jerseys to Mr. Klaponski. It is best to give the jerseys directly to him so they can be tracked.

Term One Sports Update

2011-11-01T15:45:00.000-07:00

Well the soccer and volleyball seasons are officially over now. Congratulations to all the players and teams. You have all grown in skill, knowledge and teamwork. Our Athletic program determines its success on the sports field on these indicators (Playing Hard, Smart and Together). I am proud of your development this season. Continue to keep active and stay healthy throughout the year. The competition was good this year and all the teams have left the season with motivation to keep practicing their skills in the off season.

Grade 7 Volleyball Girls Win OLGC Tournament Oct 14th

2011-10-17T07:50:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Girls! After playing 3 single games against 3 teams CCS was undefeated. The next match was the gold medal. Our girls managed to edge their opponents to win the tournament. All girls received medals and took a picture with the "big trophy." Those early morning practices seem to be paying off... eh girls? If you all play hard, smart and together in the last two games this week you'll be ready for the playoffs. Go United!

Parent Basketball Coaches Wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-10-14T12:44:00.000-07:00

As we enter into the basketball season we are calling on parents that are interested in the sport of Basketball to contact Mr. Klaponski. mklaponski@ccsunited.ca

If you plan on watching your child play why not sit in the best seat in the gym by becoming a coach? Teacher sponsors/coaches will be assigned to you and training is available by request.

But if your child is not in grades 5, 6 or 7 then you still might want to coach a team.

Get your School SERVICE HOURS for your volunteering time by reffing or coaching.

Cross Country Season Comes To An End :(

2011-10-14T12:35:00.000-07:00

Well... I certainly had a good time training and working with the Cross Country Runners this season. We attended 2 meets and ran hard, smart and together at both. In PE the students have been learning about participating at their best (HARD), using game and race strategies (SMART), and playing as a team (TOGETHER). I think the training paid off. Some highlights were our two top ten finishes at the CISVA meet (Grade 2... 7th and 9th) and when one of our runners finished a race with only one shoe. Stay tuned for a cross country assembly as soon as I receive awards.

Thanks to all parents who drove this year and especially to KG for volunteering at the last minute to be a race official at the CISVA.

Did you know that during the CISVA meet the school receives a rank based on points? But it is the least points that wins! (First place receives only 1 point) For us to place as well as we have shown last track season we will need to enter more intermediate students next year because each empty spot of the 6 for each grade costs us 75 points. Wow!

Cross Country Blast

2011-09-30T19:21:00.000-07:00

What a day! CCS students were running hard in the wind and sporadic rain today along the beach at Boundary Bay Park. The excitement and enthusiasm of the athletes at our school's first meet certainly raised the spirits of the runners and spectators who came out... it also helped take our minds off of the temperature (burrr!).
A good lesson learned was to always come prepared for the weather (jackets, sweatpants, we even had a toque today) "It sure felt like fall" -anonymous. We can't wait for the CISVA meet on Tuesday!

Check the school calendar and click on the event and map to get good directions. There is some parking next to the stadium but also off Boundary Rd or Imperial street... there is a little walk to the stadium from these locations so plan ahead. CCS sure appreciates all of the parent drivers and when drivers take the time to check the directions on line. It helps us leave the school in a timely manner and causes less disruption to classes.
Go United!

BBQ at the Boundary Bay Cross Country Meet

2011-09-26T17:40:00.000-07:00

I just found out that there will be a BBQ (for participants only) at the meet on Friday. As the students cross the finish line they will be given a ticket for a hot dog, bag of chips and a chocolate milk. Yummy!
Grade 2 girls start at 11:30am and alternate boys... girls... up to Grade 7s. Pray for good weather!

Get updated and Immediate information about CCS Athletics games, meets, events...etc.

2011-09-26T12:27:00.000-07:00

Coach __________ (insert coach's name here), is there practice today? What time does it start? When do we leave the school for our game? If you have had any or all of these questions you can get most of them answered just by checking the school calendar or the PE/Athletics Blog. But if you want the latest info emailed directly to you...
...get it by signing up for the PE/Athletics Blog. Be the first and tell someone about it!
If your child is in Athletics at CCS it will really be helpful to you.

Crescent Park Cross-Country Meet

2011-09-23T17:57:00.000-07:00

Please come prepared for the weather on Monday. Students will leave the school at 11:30am to arrive at the Park with time to stretch and warm-up. Directions to the park will be available at the school office on Monday.

Rain, Rain, Go away! Come again another day!

2011-09-22T08:08:00.000-07:00

With the rain pouring down on me as I road my bike to the school this morning I thought that this would be a good time to remind CCS Athletes that we always try to play our scheduled games... even in a little rain.

Today's Senior Players should come prepared to play in the rain! A decision about the game will be made by lunchtime to give players time to contact family and alert them with the information.

We rarely cancel practices too so always plan to play. Coaches can often take students into a classroom to talk about game strategy/rules or maybe even watch a demonstration video on a Smart Board.

Cross-Country Training and Permissions

2011-09-20T17:39:00.000-07:00

Have you been wondering when Cross-Country Training was happening? Well this year we decided to have the students in grades 1-7 train for cross-country during their 30 min PE blocks. All PE students are training at this time too and run a certain number of laps based on their grade level. The cross-country team runners each try to improve their time by timing themselves and recording their times. Bring in your Cross-Country permission slips by Thursday at noon to help us prepare for the number of runners attending the meets next week. We will meet as a team Thursday.

Thanks to all students and their families for coming prepared for PE classes wearing full PE strip.

Get a game organized by coming with a classmate or more. Mr. Klaponski will be supervising the gym times and the invitation is open to any responsible students who will use the time effectively. Let him know ahead of time so he can be prepared to supervise.
