Junior Girls
If you like volleyball and want to get involved on a team, meet new friends, have fun with league games, team building activities, fundraisers, tournaments, volleyball workshops, beach volleyball and participate in an out of town overnight tournament, please come out the first day of classes in September to meet your coaches Ms. McKenzie and Ms. Skjenna. You don't need to be the most skilled volleyball player, you just need a positive approach, a good work ethic and you need to be committed to your team. This team runs from September through November. You will need to pick up an athletic tryout form from the Phys. ed. office on the first day of school.

Rugby is a sport for all types of athletes: whether your game is based on speed, power, or finesse, there are plenty of opportunities to find a home on the rugby pitch. If you play soccer, basketball, football, hockey, or wrestle, you probably already have some skills that would make you an awesome rugby player. Plus, the high school rugby season is a great opportunity to continue developing your on-field decision-making, quickness, power, and overall fitness. Our coaches - both teacher/local club coaches & current/former players - are committed to helping you build skills and make rugby season an incredible, exciting experience. Be a part of a special group of athletes during the spring athletics season and bring home a banner with Titans Rugby!
