Intramurals, Clubs & Sports

Intramurals

Every student is invited to participate in Nordale's intramural program. Activities in the intramural program such as: low organized games, sports games, activity stations, are regularly scheduled primarily at lunch time. Intramural activities are inclusive of all students, all grade levels.

Jungle Gym ... is "Off and Roaring" on each day two for K-3 students. This activity is comprised of seven activity stations, 75, K-3 students, and 30 PAL's. Come and visit on a day 4!

Students in grade 5-8 participate on a weekly basis. The Nordale Activity Schedule is posted on a weekly basis in each classroom and it includes all school activities. The schedule for intramural activities is as follows:

• K, 1, 2, 3, Jungle Gym each day 2 at 11:30.

PAL's

A very important aspect of the intramural program is that our PAL's (physical Activity Leaders) help run the activities. Approximately 30 Pal's assist in the jungle gym activity for K-3 students, and other Pal's assist with intramural activities for the older students.

Clubs

Nordale School's Running Club is a year long activity open to all students in grades 3-8. This regularly scheduled activity includes warm-up type activities, runs and running activities (partner runs, color runs, stamp runs, juice runs, pursuit runs, tag runs) followed by low organized games. Heart rate Monitors are utilized on occasion to relate feedback on individual heart rates (see"Technology in Physical Education").

This activity may lead to out of school activities such as "Kids of Steel" Triathlon, Louis Riel School Division X-Country Meets, Manitoba Marathon events.

Interschool Sports

Louis Riel School Division provides participation tournaments and leagues for volleyball and basketball in which Nordale School fields grade seven and eight teams. League games will take place for volleyball and basketball in one of "A" , "AA" or "AAA" Divisions. Teams are placed into leagues based on school student population in grades 7/8.

Cross Country is offered each fall for students in grades 4-8. These meet dates are set as LRSD divisional events.

Badminton is offered in the spring term.

The LRSD Max Bell Indoor Track Meet for grade five and six students takes place each winter, as well, each May/June an outdoor meet for LRSD students is hosted. These are participation meets with the emphasis on fun.

Track and Field Meets for grade seven and eight are held annually each spring for Louis Riel School Division students.

Nordale also hosts a participation track meet for all of our grade 5- 8 students. This is a great opportunity for all of our grade 5-8 students to compete/participate in many events.
