Hello and Welcome to EVW! Our Athletics Program is a busy and fun-filled one, with opportunities available for students at every grade level. No matter the skill level, everyone is welcome to play at EVW. 

The PE team is excited to offer many opportunities for participation at EVW. If ever you have any questions about anything, please feel free to contact Leslie Duhamel at lduhamel@pembinatrails.ca. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and will endeavor to get back to you promptly.

Our athletics program philosophy is as follows:

                         HERE WE WILL…

 

LEARN AND DEVELOP

-participate in game-like scenarios

-increase our ability level over the course of a season

-better our skills and make smart decisions

-be respectful towards players, coaches and referees

COMPETE

-set goals and accomplish them

-stay focused and mentally tough

-be prepared and confident

-participate with maximum effort and work hard

BE SUPPORTED

-know we are in a safe space

-we will look out for each other

-know we can trust our teammates

-demonstrate positive attitudes and good sportsmanship - always

BE INCLUDED

-no matter one’s ability level, everyone has a place

-everyone’s role is important and key to success

-everyone gets a chance to participate

-care about each other and have each other’s backs

BE ENGAGED

-be focused and ready to learn

-participate to the best of our ability 100% of the time

-demonstrate good sportsmanship

BE RESILIENT

-know we can handle any situation

-even if we are down, know we can come back

-overcome obstacles in our way as a team

 

                     BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST…                                     WE WILL HAVE FUN!

 

 

In Grades 5 and 6, students will be participating on teams by grade. In Grades 7 and 8, students will be participating on teams that are divided by ability level. We have a ‘no cuts’ policy at EVW, so everyone will be placed on a team that is appropriate for their skill level, allowing people who have never tried a sport before to get a taste at an ability level that’s appropriate for them, and allowing those who have played a particular sport for a while to play with peers of the same ability level.
