Athletics Program
Rotherglen School’s Oakville Elementary Campus is a member of the Private School Athletic Association (PSAA) and competes against a number of independent schools throughout the year. Each tournament is organized into two levels: the Junior Division level for students in Grades 5 and 6; and the Intermediate Division level for students in Grades 7 and 8. In the Intermediate Division, we participate in six sporting competitions throughout each school year: soccer, cross-country, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, and track & field. The Junior Division teams compete in five sporting events, similar to the list above with the exception of volleyball. “Tryout Week” for each sport sees numerous students competing for a spot on each team. Decisions involving team membership rests with each coach and these decisions are based on spirit, commitment, skill and sportsmanship. As each tournament is considered a school event where each team member is representing Rotherglen School, conduct inside and outside the school also plays a role in determining team members. Although not all interested students can be chosen for a specific team, we continue to encourage all students to maintain their interest and enthusiasm.
