The grade 4-6 curriculum is the time sport specific skills are taught, and where the students focus more on a selected sport.\u00a0 The main sports in this age group are soccer, volleyball, basketball and badminton, but other sports are introduced and taught in this age group as well.\u00a0 The grades 4-6 also learn the skills of track and field, and attend the MCSSA Catholic Schools Track and Field Meet in June at the University of Manitoba.<\/p>\n
The grade 7-8 program goes into even more detail into what was taught in the grade 4-6 level, and this age level competes in the Manitoba Catholic Schools Athletic Association (MCSSA) league with approximately 15 other Catholic and Christian schools.\u00a0 Students compete in league volleyball, basketball, badminton, and track and field.\u00a0 The league is slowly introducing outdoor soccer as another sport, and has plans in the future for indoor soccer and indoor track and field as well.<\/p>\n
