March 04
Basketball schedule / Volleyball coaches needed

Hello Folks, 

Welcome to March Break!!  A few items on the sports page for SWS today. 

The basketball season will resume after the March Break with a week of makeup games (see calendar).  The following week we will get into basketball playoffs.  All of this weather permitting.  Once basketball is complete, we will roll into volleyball season.  Coaches are in place for varsity girls and junior varsity/triple ball girls teams as well as varsity boys.  We are hoping to be able to have a JV or triple ball team for boys this year.  For this to happen, we will need a coach(es).  If it is a grade 6 team then it will be a triple ball team.  If the makeup of the team is grade 6/7, then it would be a JV team.  If anyone is interested you can contact the school.  The ideal candidate will have volleyball and coaching experience.  First aid is a definite asset.​

December 14
practice change

The boys basketball team have changed their practice time for this evening .  They will now practice tonight from 5:30-7:00 pm.  The girls basketball team will still have their regular practice time tomorrow from 3:15-4:30.  Unfortunately, at this time, due to the recent Covid restrictions, only grade 7 & 8 players may practice.​

November 15

SWS Basketball tryouts may now be held that we are back in school.  The boys and girls first tryout is posted to the sports calendar. 

These tryout are open to students in grade 6, 7, & 8. Students who are interested are asked to sign up on the bulletin board outside the gym.  Those who are born in 2009 or before must be able to show proof of double vaccination in order to participate.  Those who are born in 2010 do not have to be vaccinated at this time.  Players will be expected to sanitize their hands and be masked as they enter the building and when they are not playing (huddles, filling water bottle, sitting on a bench etc).  Players should come dressed appropriately for the activity, and should have their own water bottles.​
