The Grade 7 and 8 Volleyball Team began the season with a wide range of experience, from players with club backgrounds to those stepping onto the court for the first time.

The Middle School Tennis team wrapped up a successful season full of growth, teamwork, and a deepening love for the game.

“Obviously, winning matches both individually and as a team should always be a goal,” Head Coach Daniel Jamell said. “However, despite not winning every match, we still met a lot of personal goals that I was proud of achieving. For the more beginner players, becoming proficient in the rules and being able to play matches without much guidance was a main goal, and I felt like that was achieved. For everyone else, the goal was to get more match play and deepen their understanding of the game—which definitely happened. Overall, I wanted to make sure everyone ended the season with more love and appreciation for tennis, and I think we made that happen.”
