Setting Up For Success
Students are expected to come to the gym with appropriate clothing. Athletic footwear (closed-toe running shoes) are mandatory. Sandals, Crocs, and boots are not acceptable footwear.
For student comfort and health, we encourage all students to bring a change of clothes for physical education classes. Access to the change rooms, bathroom stalls, or the gender-neutral bathroom is available for students wishing to change. Bringing a simple deodorant is also a great starting point for Intermediate students.
Extra-Curricular Sports Calendar
Below is when the following sports seasons begin. Teams are typically made up to a month before the season starts. It is encouraged to check announcements for tryouts and practice information. In order to try out, an Interschool Athletic Package MUST be signed and returned to the coach prior to the first tryout.

Intramural Program
In addition to the Falgarwood sports teams, we run student-led intramurals for each division once per week. Intramurals are led by members of the 7/8 Athletic Council and supervised by an adult. They are a great way for students to engage in physical activity during breaks, explore a challenge, and interact with peers from other classes in a safe space to continue building skills from activities in PE.
The weekly schedule is as follows:
-
Juniors (Grades 4-6): Monday
-
Intermediates (Grades 7-8): Wednesday
-
Primary (Grades 1-3): Friday
