Primary School (U11 & U9)
Fun, Inclusion and Even Playing Times
The goal at the Primary level is to maximize participation. This is done with a focus on developing basic skills, preparation
for competition and a love for sport. Playing time within matches will be equal amongst all student athletes. Developing
athletes is as equally as important as a winning season.

Middle School (U14) Grade 6-8
Skill Development
The primary focus at this level is to maximize the learning of skills, knowledge, and rules of the game. Maximum
participation by athletes is emphasised not only for the overall growth and welfare of the athletes, but thecontinued development of the overall programme. Developmental levels should be the foundations for the higher,
competitive levels. Developing athletes is equally as important as a winning season.
Invitational sports such as Badminton, Cross Country, Golf, Swimming, Track & Field, and Table Tennis have more informal
seasons traditionally culminating in weekend tournament.
High School (U19) Grade 9-12
COMPETITIVE
At this stage of the programme, we place more emphasis on being competitive. During the season maximum participation
is still a focus but for championship tournaments we aim to field our most competitive team. Players earn their game time
throughout the season through their performance in matches and training. We strive to develop complex tactics of the sport
and we emphasize commitment, discipline, and dedication to a team.
HS practice days & season dates per sport are planned to be as follows:
