Our Grade 5/6 Nighthawks Volleyball Team was invited by Elk Island Catholic Schools to play in their mini- volleyball tournament that was held today.
The mini-tournament brings teams from other schools together to play in modified volleyball games. The goals of the event are to participate, to practice some skills, and to enjoy the game. Therefore, no score was kept and each game lasted for 40 minutes. Based on all the smiles and cheers from all the teams and their fans, the goals were certainly met.
Our mixed teams played exceptionally well in both of their games against two different teams from Holy Spirit Catholic School. Besides skill, our teams showed team spirit and, just as importantly, had fun playing the game. Thank you, parents, for ensuring the players could be there to be a part of it.
Thank you to Elk Island Catholic Schools for inviting us to this exciting event. Thank you also to Holy Spirit Catholic School for being wonderful hosts and providing student leaders to run the games. Those students did an impressive job!
We decided to take a team photo after Team 1’s game, but unfortunately some team members had already left. Apologies go out to those students. We will be sure to get you in the photo at the next mini-tournament on November 25.
Go Nighthawks!
