Athletics

Trafalgar Castle School's Athletic program is an important aspect of every student’s co-curricular experience. Staffed by enthusiastic coaches, our program provides individuals with an enormous variety of dynamic and exciting sport experiences.

We are proud to offer state-of-the-art facilities for our physical activity and athletic program with a Fitness Centre and Pool, two playing fields, three tennis courts and a softball diamond, all of which compliment the magnificent double gymnasium set in its own building on campus.

The school promotes healthy active living and to this end offers many opportunities for the students to be engaged in physical activity. Physical Education classes, House intramural competitions, physical fitness clubs and competitive sport are all venues where the students are encouraged to participate.

For the competitive sports program, Trafalgar Castle competes with the other Independent Schools in Ontario through their membership in the Conference of Independent School’s Athletic Association (CISAA).

Developmental Team Members

All students who are members of a developmental team will attend all practices and can attend home games to support their teammates. They will not attend away games so as to avoid lost class time.

A Sense of Balance

Student involvement in our co-curricular program is a wonderful aspect of student life at Trafalgar Castle School. However, academics and achieving a sense of balance must be paramount to ensure the success of each and every student at the Castle. As such please note the following guidelines.

Trafalgar students are encouraged to strive towards a number of goals and work on becoming well rounded young women. It has been determined that in the best interest of our students anyone involved with Robotics or the School Dramatic Production may not participate in winter sports such as Volleyball and Hockey. They will be allowed to be a member of the Swim Team, or a developmental volleyball or hockey player. Developmental team members may attend practice when it does not conflict with Robotics/School Show and may be called up from time to time to play games (for example, if the team is short players) when it does not conflict. Academic consistency will also play a role in all such decisions.

All developmental sports are considered a full sport for the purpose of House Points and Sports Pins.
