Competitive Team sports for Elementary school students Amongst the large choice of sports programs proposed this year to Elementary school students, we are also proposing competitive team sports in basketball and soccer. Students registered in these programs will participate in an educational league with 3Point Athletics, and in interscholastic scrimmage games and practices with Youth Soccer International.

Participation in these programs will allow us to increase practice time and give our future Flames players an opportunity to start competing at an earlier age.

All games will take place on Saturdays away from the Lycée. Fall and Spring Soccer games and practice will take place at Hawthorne and Alcott Elementary Schools. Advanced students will be invited to join the Elite Program.

Basketball League games will take place during the winter season at Menomonee Club. All Saturday practices outside of the league period will take place at LFC. Go Mini-Flames, Go Flames!
