Track & Field Season starts now!

Track & Field is open to all students in Grades 3 - 7 (born in 2015 or earlier). It provides an opportunity for your child to experience track (running) and field (jumping and throwing) individual and team events. In 2023 we placed 2nd at the CISVA and this success was because of the enthusiastic dedication of students, school staff and many parents! 

In Track & Field, we provide multiple meet opportunities and practices for all our athletes to participate. We collect data from meets and practices throughout the season to place athletes for the CISVA Meet.  Attendance is critical at practices because timed runs/measurements will be recorded. 

For the CISVA Track & Field Championship, entries are limited to 1 athlete per event.  Coaches will select the athletes that have demonstrated a strong commitment to the program through regular attendance and training and have demonstrated the highest level of ability to represent our school.

  • Attendance for all practices 

  • If your child is unable to attend a practice, please email Ms. Gaspar (dgaspar@sosschool.ca)
