The emphasis of athletics in middle schools is on
participation i.e. there are no students cut from teams and we offer
equal competitive playing time in games regardless of ability. Our
primary aim, during this critically influential age of our students,
is to encourage a lifelong interest in activity and fitness, with
the outcome of competitive play being secondary.
Lansdowne is a member of the Lower Island Middle School Sport Association
(LIMSSA). As such, we follow the activity calendar, rules and
regulations determined by the Association as a whole. For more
information on eligibility rules, regulations governing competitive
play, and the timeline for the various sports activities throughout
the school year, visit the Lower
Island Middle School Sports Association.
We rely on the volunteer services of many teachers, parents, and
post-secondary students to coach our young athletes and take
them to competitions. We welcome the support of everyone who
wishes to create a positive, enriching experience for our students
by coaching or assisting with the teams. Please call
Marianne Lidstone at Lansdowne, 598-3336, if you would like to coach ,
and communicate with the coach(es) of your child about other ways you might
help. There is always a need for drivers after school on game days. Please
fill out the "Volunteer Driver Information and Authorization' form, available in the school
office. Bring your driver's license and vehicle insurance documents.
Further information and participation consent forms are available
from coaches as each sport begins. Encourage your child to listen
to morning announcements to find out more about Lansdowne's extracurricular
sports.
