Athletics Review – September 2018

5 October 2018Blake Gage - Director of Athletics

Welcome back Brentwood family and friends! We are looking forward to another active and exciting year in Brentwood Athletics. It has been a busy start to the year and our students appear keen and eager to engage in their sports. The weather has been beautiful and the fields, gym, weight-rooms, tennis courts and waterfront are alive with activity. Of course, this year we have been particularly blessed with the wonderful grand opening of the Eldon and Anne Foote Athletic Center; an inspiring space where all our students can engage in physical activity. If you have not had an opportunity to tour the facility, hopefully, you will witness it in full use during your next visit to campus. This term, while there are a variety of athletic options offered, we strongly encourage everyone to try and engage in a team sport; there is no better way to get to know your peers than to work with them in practice and then compete together in games. These shared experiences bring our kids that much closer together and create memories that last a lifetime. This term is the competitive season for: · Grade 9 Boys Rugby · Junior Boys Soccer · Senior Boys Soccer · Senior Girls Volleyball · Junior Girls Volleyball · Senior Girls Field Hockey · Junior Girls Field Hockey · Cross Country Running Our kids love playing on these teams; the coaching they receive is first rate and it all starts with the underlying belief that kids need to have fun. Our first few weekends of action were highlighted by our Field Hockey teams competing in the 2018 Friendship Cup, our Senior Girls Volleyball team competing at the VIU Invitational, our Senior boys Soccer team competing at the Independent Schools Association (ISA) Championship and our Junior Boys Soccer team capturing gold at the Brentwood hosted ISA Soccer Championship! Meanwhile, the Grade 9 rugby boys have been busy with scrimmages vs Shawnigan and St Michaels and our Cross Country team has already engaged in a couple of local meets. We look forward to lots more action as we head into a busy October.
