Senior Tigers Update: September 26, 2019

VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY ISLAND SERIES
Our Varsity Field Hockey Team travelled to Vancouver Island last week to play an exhibition series against some Island teams. YHS defeated Brentwood College 4-0 and St. Michaels University School (SMUS) 2-0 but lost to Shawnigan Lake School 5-3. The Tigers had a great time exploring the amazing new athletic facility at Brentwood College and enjoying the turf at Shawnigan Lake. Good luck this weekend at the UBC Tournament with games Thursday and Friday at UBC.

The Senior Tigers Field Hockey Team is also playing at UBC this week with games Thursday and Friday at UBC.

JUNIOR FIELD HOCKEY ISLAND SERIES
Our Junior Tigers played their very first game this week at Andy Livingston on Tuesday. They had time to pose for a picture before the game and while they lost a close match to Crofton House (CHS), they had a great time.

 

JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL TEAM PLACED 2ND AT SEAQUAM TOURNAMENT
The Tigers Junior (Grade 9-10) Volleyball Team placed 2nd at an early-season tournament at Seaquam Secondary School in Delta last week. The young Tigers include two Grade 10s and ten Grade 9s and are a talented and committed team.

Congratulations to the team and good luck in upcoming league games which take place on Wednesdays. The next Junior Tigers home games are on Wednesday, October 2.

VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY IMPRESS AT POLAR BEAR TOURNAMENT
The Varsity Field Hockey Team started the season off by facing the best teams in BC at the Polar Bear Tournament. Despite missing some key Grade 10s (away for outdoor ed.) on Friday, the Tigers defeated rival Little Flower Academy (LFA) 4-3 and played to a 1-1 draw vs Crofton House. Saturday, with some tired and weary Grade 10s, the Tigers defeated Kelowna Secondary School (KSS) before losing to the reigning AA and AAA BC Champions, Collingwood and Handsworth. A record of 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw was an impressive result for our young Tigers team. This week we travel to Shawnigan Lake for an exhibition series against Brentwood College, Shawnigan Lake, and St. Michaels University School (SMUS).

ATHLETICS COFFEE MORNING: Wednesday, October 16, 8:30 am at YHS Cafe
Back by popular demand, there will be an Athletics Coffee Morning with Mr. Prissinotti (Senior Athletics Director) and Mr. Jackson (Junior School Athletics Coordinator). This is a casual opportunity to hear some information about athletics at YHS and ask questions. There will not be a formal presentation planned. Instead, this is an opportunity for questions and discussion on a variety of topics that are of interest to parents.

DEFINING COMMITMENT
Our YHS students are busy with a wide range of activities. Athletics requires a level of commitment in order for the experience to be valuable and meaningful. At YHS, our Athletics Department has tried to provide a detailed definition of commitment. Success, in any form, is earned through commitment and hard work.
