VOLLEYBALL
Three weeks into our volleyball season and all four teams have played their first games. Our Grade 7 teams both traveled to Crofton House for their first league games on the season. Although the Tigers came up short on the scoreboard, the first game of the season always provides a great litmus test of where we are. This experience was no exception.
The Grade 6 team endured one of our longer road trips when they traveled to Southridge School for some exhibition games against both Southridge and WPGA. The Tigers had a lot of fun, and all teams learned a lot as they made the jump from Grade 5 Atomic Tripleball to Grade 6 Tripleball.
The Grade 5 team made the big trip out to Maple Ridge to play against Meadowridge. It is a long trip indeed, yet the opportunity to play in first our volleyball game is always exciting. The Tigers put their practice in to play, to serve, bump, and rotate around the court against Meadowridge and Stratford Hall.
CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING
Our first race of the season is fast approaching. The Tigers Cross-Country team is participating in the Festival of Cross Country hosted by Ocean Athletics. The race will be held at Crescent Park in South Surrey. The girls have been working very hard for the past three weeks, and many of them are looking forward to the race of the season. Good luck Tigers!
OTHER ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES
Over the past couple of years, we have had an opportunity to develop many relationships with a few community-based athletic clubs. Last week I wrote about our relationship with Split Second Basketball. This week I would like to introduce you to SMASH Volleyball. SMASH Volleyball is unique in the volleyball club community as they provide playing opportunities for girls of all abilities, from high-level players to an in-house league for girls who are new and still learning volleyball. Several Yorkies have found their way to SMASH over the past few years. Recently, we brought SMASH coaches in to provide coaching development to our staff coaches. The relationship has been a smashing success 🙂 If your daughter is looking for more volleyball opportunities, please visit the SMASH Volleyball website to register. In addition, you can use the code: YorkHouse20 to receive a $20 discount.
