Schools: Want to Run an Officiating Clinic?

Vince Lombardi is quoted as saying, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”

OFSAA is offering a subsidy program to schools interested in conducting an officiating clinic for high school students. The intent of the program is to encourage students to get involved in sport as an official by reducing or eliminating the cost barrier associated with certification.

This well-known sports quotation has been used over the years by many people.

If we take Lombardi’s quote and simply change one word, we can alter its entire meaning and create a statement that should permeate school sport.

We also hope to get students involved in sport who are not necessarily interested in being an athlete.

This program will help build student confidence, provide an opportunity for employment, and assist in filling official shortages in the province.

By removing the word "winning" and replacing it with "education", we have an entirely new statement.

Education isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Similar to a mission statement for an organization, coaches, schools and athletic associations that live by the quote "Education isn't everything, it's the only thing" are doing the best service to their student-athletes.

When a mission statement is adopted, it directs all decisions. Everything that is done and accomplished works towards achieving the mission statement. This is true for organizations as well as for coaches and school athletic programs.

If you constantly refer back to your mission when developing your athletic programs or making decisions, then you will always stay on track and true to your overall aims and objectives.

Coaches have a choice to make when conducting their programs. They can adopt Lombardi’s philosophy of winning, or they can place the emphasis on education and learning.

If education is the number one priority, then the coach is advocating for the reason for school sport’s existence. If winning becomes the only thing, then education is quite often sacrificed.

This leads to a break down in values important to school sport and studentathletes are victimized because they don’t properly and fully benefit from the experience.

Doug Gellatly

Sport delivered in the proper way teaches students sport-specific skills and team tactics, but it also teaches sportsmanship, respect, team work, time management, school spirit, encouragement, accountability, responsibility, and dedication, among others.

As leaders, the coach and athletic director set the tone and are the ones to ensure the students learn these life skills.

The pursuit of victory is part of sports competition. It provides a goal to achieve. But winning can take on many forms and may not necessarily mean winning a game or race. It may mean showing improvement over the course of the year, achieving a personal best, or keeping a game close.

In the end, no matter what the outcome of a competition may be, every student wins when the coach believes that education is the only thing.

There is limited funding available.

Applications will be approved on a first come, first served basis. If they wish, multiple schools within the same area can join together to offer a course to help maximize the number of participants.

Courses must lead to either full or partial certification, and courses MUST be endorsed/recognized by the sport’s Provincial or National Sports Body.

For more information and to access the application form, please visit the OFSAA website and find the Officiating Clinic Subsidy under Programs.

Questions can be directed to Michael Suraci at michael@ofsaa.on.ca.

THE BULLETIN WINTER 2012

Au début de décembre 2011, OFSAA a donné un atelier afin de former certains francophones comme personneressource pour la certification de l’EDEO (Entraînement dans les Écoles de l’Ontario (niveau secondaire).

Ce programme fut possible grâce au ministère de l’Éducation de l’Ontario qui a fourni une aide financière pour la traduction des ressources. Le programme est offert en anglais depuis 2009 et avec les efforts du bureau d’OFSAA, le tout est maintenant disponible aux francophones.

Durant les ateliers, nous avons eu l’occasion de discuter

OFSAA NEWS

OFSAA Offre un Atelier pour les Enseignants et Enseignantes Francophones

plusieurs concepts dont un entraîneur doit se rendre compte comme les stages de développement d’un athlète, les lignes directrices d’OPHEA, le concept de compétition pour un athlète élite et un athlète au niveau secondaire, les transferts d’OFSAA et le rôle d’OFSAA. Le programme demande aux entraîneurs de discuter de leur philosophie, de partager des expériences comme athlète au secondaire, d’utiliser des stratégies et de trouver des solutions à plusieurs situations en utilisant le procès de prise de décision de l’EDEO. Aussi, nous avons le temps de répondre aux inquiétudes des entraîneurs et de discuter afin d’obtenir des solutions.

Un exemple serait la responsabilité de l’entraîneur envers l’équipe (avant, durant et après une pratique ou une compétition), le nombre de joueurs à garder pour une équipe, des conflits avec des parents et comment résoudre les conflits, le montant de temps qu’un athlète participe durant un match ou le prélèvement de fonds pour les programmes.

Le programme de l’EDEO nous donne l’occasion comme entraîneur de partager des idées et des connaissances et d’apprendre de nouveaux concepts.

Merci Richard Lachance Personne-ressource avec OFSAA pour L’EDEO

• Often this information is not in the registration materials, so schools are advised to get OFSAA sanction for all US events.

For hosting U.S. teams • Many US schools must attend only events sanctioned by the host state, so it again is recommended that you get OFSAA sanction for any events involving US teams, or that team may be sanctioned by their state when they return Check out the OFSAA website under Events - Sanctioned Invitationals to make sure the event you are hosting has been correctly entered, or to confirm that you are approved to attend events in other provinces or the US. You can also check the National Federation website to find invitational events to attend (www.nfhs.org).

With social-networking becoming more popular over the past couple of years, OFSAA is increasingly approached for advice from schools and other organizations about creating social media pages.

Purpose of Your Social Media Presence

To help guide the way inwhich OFSAA uses its social media pages, we have created a social media policy.

When posting media content to social networking sites, it is helpful to remember the reasons you are doing so. Here are some tips to remember:

Here is an exerpt from OFSAA's policy: How OFSAA is Using Social Media As an organization, OFSAA has been an early and eager adopter of social media. These tools have enabled OFSAA to share what is happening in our championships, in our programs, and in our schools and communities with the world, but more importantly, let us hear directly and immediately from our audience and fans.

The primary tools OFSAA is currently using are Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. OFSAA championship convenors have also been successfully using Twitter to communicate with their key audience (athletes, coaches, spectators, media).

This “conversation” is what makes social media so different from traditional forms of institutional communication.

• www.facebook.com/ofsaa • www.twitter.com/ofsaa • www.youtube.com/OFSAAvids

THE BULLETIN WINTER 2012

All of these top-level profiles use the official OFSAA logo, communicating to fans, followers, and viewers that content found in these locations is official OFSAA information.

In addition to the sites mentioned above, many championship convenors have launched official social media presences as well, similarly branded with their championship logo, or the OFSAA “O” symbol, to communicate that the information they are posting is official and reliable.

If your school or Association has recently created a Facebook or Twitter page, or is thinking about starting one, knowing where to start communicating can be overwhelming.

OFSAA NEWS

OFSAA and Social Media

OFSAA’s primary social media presences are:

Orangeville DSS has started a successful Twitter page for their hockey team!

• Promote your mission, vision, and values • Reach your students, but also a wider, more diverse audience • Promote your sports, programs, clubs, etc.

• Educate, inform, and entertain • Endorse other programs and initiatives in your community • Promote healthy debate with a view to finding solutions • Engage with others in your school and community • Create excitement!

And here is a tip - interact with others! One of the biggest mistakes you can make in social media is making it all about your own school or organization.

Share inspirational articles with your followers, follow others in your community, start a conversation! Doing that will give you the most success.

If your school or organization has any questions regarding social media, you may contact Lindsey Evanoff, OFSAA's Communications and Marketing Coordinator at lindsey@ofsaa.on.ca, or (416) 4267437.

Scholarships & Awards

Roger Neilson/Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni Scholarship Recipients 2011 The Roger Neilson/Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni Scholarship Award is awarded each year to two student-athletes who will be continuing their post-secondary education in Canada.

One male and one female are each awarded separate scholarships in the amount of $10,000, spread out as payments of $2,500 per year for four years. In addition, the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni offer one-time bursaries of $1,000 to two additional scholarship finalists.

Congratulations to recipients Alyson Rogers from Westlane Secondary School in Niagara Falls and Colin Sharpe from Lakefield College School in Lakefield, and finalists Xin Wei Yan from East Northumberland Secondary School in Brighton, and Jenifer Truong from Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute in Guelph.

Hundreds of students from around the province applied for this scholarship, which is awarded on the basis of school athletics, academic achievement, school and community leadership, and financial need.

OFSAA thanks the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni for their generous support of education through school sport. Over the past six years, they have been able to provide much-needed financial support through the scholarship to more than 65 student-athletes in their pursuit of post-secondary excellence.

Alyson Rogers graduated from Westlane Secondary School with close to a 90% average and is studying Psychology/ Social work at her university.

Alyson faces a rare brain injury that she received during an away basketball game which prevents her from continuing to play contact sports. She is still able to run despite her injury, and has since competed at SOSSA in the 1500m and 3000m races.

Her accomplishments and volunteer work are extensive.

Alyson was a school embassador, a member of her athletic association, and volunteered in various capacities in her community.

Colin Sharpe is a graduate of Lakefield College School, and is currently studying engineering.

Colin played for his school's hockey and volleyball teams throughout his time at Lakefield, and was selected captain for both.

He also managed to keep his academic average above 90% and had a 93% average in his final year. He also was an active volunteer within his community.

16

THE BULLETIN WINTER 2012

Colin's coaches say he puts forth all of his effort into anything he is participating in, he is a team-player and supportive of his peers and teammates.

Xin Wei Yan graduated from East Northumberland Secondary School in Brighton, where played soccer, basketball, and participated in track and field. He was also founder and president of the East Northumberland Soccer Club, Deputy Prime Minister of his school's Student Government, and participated in various other roles in his school, including the athletic council, science alliance, the buddies and mentors program, and as a tutor.

Xin graduated with an average over 95%, and is currently studying Kinesiology.

Jenifer Truong is currently studying toward a Bachelor of Biotechnology after graduating from the Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute with nearly a 90% average.

Jenifer played on her school's badminton, field hockey, soccer, tennis, wrestling, and rugby teams.

She was also president of

the Student Senate, Editor in Chief of the yearbook, and a member of her school's athletic council, LINK Leader, and math tutor.

Jenifer was also very active in her community, volunteering at the Guelph Youth Council, Breakfast Club, Canadian Cancer Society, local outreach club, and

several other initiatives.

Congratulations to these four impressive student-athletes.

They are all extremely deserving of this award.

We have no doubt they will be successful in their future endeavours, and we wish them the best of luck!

New High School Badminton Coaching Clinics Offered in Ontario With the support of the Coaches Association of Ontario, Badminton Ontario has partnered with the Varsity Blues Program to deliver a new High School Coach Certification program in Ontario. The Focus Clinics series have been a favoured event every year, and this year they have expanded to include three new clinics.

This program aims to assist teachers, parents and existing coaches in a high school or elementary school badminton program. Through mini tournaments and game situations, clinic participants will create appropriate and individualized game strategies. Coaches are encouraged to bring their own students to gain a better impact from the day’s events.

The program is broken down into three parts: Focus on Singles, Focus on Doubles and Focus on Mixed Doubles.

Each part is held on a separate day and breaks down the elements of that event into an easy to use routine.

Directed by Wayne King, head coach of the University of Toronto Varsity Blues and NCCP Course Instructor, you will come to learn that his approach is ‘athlete centred coaching’.

Technical aspects of the program include game etiquette, Birdzooka feeding techniques, game situations, stroke-

THE BULLETIN WINTER 2012

movement patterns, dynamic stretching and cool down routines, defense and attack positioning and more. The program is catered to your level and comfort ability as a coach and mentor.

Each coach and player receives a take-home booklet to reference the information taught in the clinic, as well as a shirt from Black Knight, a continued supporter of this program (and OFSAA's official badminton eyewear sponsor).

The program starts in January 2012. If you would like more information, please contact info@badmintonontario.ca or fabcoach@rogers.com.

Fear Factor: The "G" Word

By Lynne Smiley

Why is it that one simple word can illicit such fear in the hearts and minds of school administrators and teachers everywhere? You know, the “G” word – Gymnastics. If I called it “fitness” would that help relieve your racing heart palpitations?

In OFSAA Girls’ Gymnastics there are 6 competitive levels. Levels 1 to 3 are beginner levels for girls with little or no experience in gymnastics other than what they have learned in their school programs. Levels 4 to 6 accommodates the athletes who have club or competitive experience. This is a high school sport for girls, and the rules are designed to embrace the inexperienced and experienced athlete, yet is not exclusive to nor dominated by club trained gymnasts. Although many school teams may utilize gymnastics clubs (teacher advisor/teacher coach must be in attendance) to train in a safe environment where equipment apparatus is available, OFSAA Technical Rules mandate that a minimum of one practice a week must take place within their school which could be conditioning practice or working on choreography.

Gymnastics is uniquely different than any other of the team or individual sports offered to high school girls due to the artistic and creative nature of the sport, as well as the athletic skills involved. Besides Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, which is comprised of Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise, Aerobic Gymnastics is also part of OFSAA Girls Gymnastics. There’s that “G” word again. If I called it “Sport Aerobics” would you start breathing again?

What is Aerobic Gymnastics?

Aerobic Gymnastics is another exciting and dynamic discipline of the sport of gymnastics. Its popularity is world-wide with programs operating from recreational (Aero-Gym), school-based programs to OFSAA, Provincial, 22

THE BULLETIN WINTER 2012

artistic gymnastics event to qualify for the OFSAA aerobic gymnastics team.

Aerobic Gymnastics is an activity that can provide enhancement to existing fitness, dance or gymnastics programs in the curriculum; as well as offering the opportunity for high school competition in the sanctioned OFSAA Sport of Girls Gymnastics. To see the sport in action, check out the video clip from the OFSAA 2010 Provincial Championship (www.youtube.com/OFSAAvids).

Historically, gymnastics has formed the core of physical education programs throughout the world. Its foundation is based on physical training principles through the learning of fitness and movement fundamentals (balance, locomotion, rotation, springing, swinging, and landing), with or without, or on an apparatus. The training for greater fitness development in endurance, strength, power, flexibility, agility, speed and co-ordination, is the key to successful learning of any sport specific skills, not just gymnastics skills.

It is so important to our youth that schools, administrators, teachers, coaches and teacher advisors can offer a variety of activities for students by providing healthy, active lifestyles through sport, while providing safe environments for their participation in sport. With this in mind, let me take some of the fear out of the “G” word by providing information about the sanctioned OFSAA Sport of Girls’ Gymnastics.

Information Articles

No need to fear the “G” word any longer. Please contact your local Athletic Association for information on your Association entry process to attend the OFSAA Gymnastics Championship.

Resources Available to You • To learn more about the school-based gymnastics’ programs, workshop sessions are being offered at the OFSAA Women’s Sport School in May 2012. Please go to www.ofsaa.on.ca for more info.

Aerobic Gymnastics is a creative combination of aerobic and dance choreography with fitness difficulty elements such as pushups, holds, jumps/leaps and turns. No tumbling is allowed although forward, back, and side rolls may be used for changing levels. It involves highenergy/cardio routines that maximize development of core strength, flexibility and power and is performed in a 12x12 floor area/space (a matted –spring floor is not required). In group routines, lifts are required; however, unlike cheerleading, propulsion on lifts is prohibited.

OFSAA Aerobic Gymnastics (aka Sports Aerobics) Aerobic Gymnastics is a team competition. A team may be comprised of 4, 5 or 6 competitors. There are two competitive OFSAA Aerobic Gymnastics (Sports Aerobics) categories.

Open: This category may consist of teams from schools competing in artistic gymnastics or may be teams from schools that do not have or compete in the artistic gymnastics program.

Novice: All team members must be competing in Artistic Gymnastics Levels 1 – 3. Each member of a school’s Novice Aerobic Gymnastics’ team must have competed as a member of the school’s artistic gymnastics team in at least one artistic gymnastics competition during the current competitive season. Members of the school’s aerobic gymnastics team do not have to qualify for an OFSAA www.ofsaa.on.ca

Festival Results

OFSAA Bills Toronto Series Football Bowls Toronto

To many observers, Nelson (2005 Golden Horsehoe Bowl champions) was considered the best team in Ontario. Led by a huge student crowd from the school, they defeated a very good team from St. Paul’s 37 – 0.

November 29, 2011

Nelson dominated the passing game, outdistancing St. Paul 256 yards to 26 yards, and five touchdowns for Nelson were distributed among four players, with John Vandeweed scoring twice from five yards out each time.

Northern Bowl Champions - Superior Heights CVI

While torrential rain soaked downtown Toronto, nearly 5,500 enthusiastic spectators were entertained with five exciting football finals inside the warm and dry Rogers Centre, where weather did not affect the outcome.

This is the fourth annual OFSAA Football Bowls in the Rogers Centre, held with the support of the Bills Toronto Series, and we are extremely appreciative of the Bills for providing this opportunity for the student-athletes of Ontario.

Thank you especially to the organizing committee who did a fantastic job in organizing the event. Sean Allen, Campbell Blake, Dan Del Mastro, Dan Dominico, Lindsey Evanoff, Brian Gaw, Ken Green, Chick Kennedy, Dana McKiel, Peter Morris, Mario Pietrangelo, Erica Phillips, Pat Reilly, Dan Russell, and many student volunteers worked hard to ensure that the event ran smoothly.

Thank you also to our many sponsors, including Marchant’s School Sport, Pizza Pizza, Rogers TV, Enwave, Toronto Sun, Baron Rings, CityTV, and Gatorade. The OFSAA Football Bowls could not have happened without your continued support.

Finally, thank you to entertainment from St. Michael's Drumline, M.M. Robinson Drumline, West Humber Drumline, and East York Stage Band, as well as national anthem singers Rosalie D'Cruz, Samantha Barrozino, Talene Francis-Prittie, Jahlen Barnes, Thomas Goetz, and Rayanda Hudson.

GAME 1 – Northern Bowl Superior Heights CVI (Sault Ste. Marie) vs Sir Winston Churchill (Thunder Bay) Superior Heights captured their third consecutive Northern Bowl Championship with a very close 34 28 victory over Sir Winston Churchill. Lead by Steve Hiiemma’s two first-half touchdowns, Superior Heights jumped out to an almost insurmountable 31-0 half time lead. However, Churchill didn’t travel all the way from Thunder Bay to be shut out. Lead by an outstanding performance from Cam Claridge, who scored four touchdowns in the second half, Churchill outscored Superior Heights 28-3 and almost completed the comeback. But in the end, Churchill couldn't quite catch Superior Heights, and Superior Heights were declared Northern Bowl Champions.

National Capital Bowl Champions - Frontenac SS

Rodolfo Marinas and Myles Wilson each had seven tackles for Nelson, while Tanner Philip had five tackles for St. Paul.

GAME 3 – National Capital Bowl Frontenac SS (Kingston) vs Crestwood SS (Peterborough) The Crestwood Mustangs have not missed a National Capital Bowl appearance since the Bills Toronto Series began four years ago. After defeating Sydenham SS in a thrilling overtime game in 2010, they were no match for the Frontenac Mustangs and lost 49 – 11 this year.

The Falcons dominated the Mustangs through the air, with special teams scoring three of their touchdowns. Mitch O’Connor took a pass from Tyler Filson and ran it for a 57 yard play, following it up with a 90 yard kick return to give Frontenac a commanding lead. Mac Clarkson scored the lone Crestwood touchdown with an 18 yard run.

Western Bowl Champions - A.B. Lucas

GAME 2 – Golden Horseshoe Bowl Nelson HS (Burlington) vs St. Paul HS (Niagara Falls) The past three Golden Horseshoe Bowl games have featured Lakeshore Catholic and Notre Dame, but this year Nelson HS (Burlington) and St. Paul HS (Niagara Falls) were able to break through and qualify for the big game.

Festival Results GAME 4 – Western Bowl A.B. Lucas SS (London) vs Northern CI & CVI (Sarnia) It was the first trip to the Rogers Centre for the A.B. Lucas Vikings, and they did not show any nervousnes. Their performance was a memorable one for their team and spectators, and they defeated a strong Northern team from Sarnia 24 – 6 in the Western Bowl Championship.

Jimmy Ro led the way for the Vikings, scoring two touchdowns to give his team a 17 - 0 half time lead. Lucas dominated the offensive side of the ball, with a total offense of 463 yards to Northern’s 145 yards.

Paul Kaija was the leader for Northern going both ways.

He scored a 29 yard touchdown and registered 8 tackles on defense.

GAME 5 – Metro Bowl Donald A. Wilson (Whitby) vs St. Andrew’s College (Aurora) Before a large and enthusiastic crowd, Donald A. Wilson Gators rallied to defeat St. Andrew’s College Saints in a nail biting 21 -14 victory which was decided in overtime.

Both the Gators and Saints kept the crowd guessing throughout the game. Both teams demonstrated strong offensive and defensive lines.

Led by the strong arm of George Papadakos, who threw for a total of 243 yards, and the offensive threat of Chivon Gallagher, who scored three touchdowns including a beautiful catch in overtime, the Gators kept the balanced St. Andrew’s offense in check after the very talented Yannick Harou, with two touchdowns, had given St. Andrews a 14 – 7 lead after three quarters.

OFSAA Boys’ Golf Festival Belleville

October 11 - 13, 2011

For the first time in several years, the OFSAA Boys’ Golf Festival was treated to mild weather and as close to perfect playing conditions as you can get in mid-October.

The host course, Trillium Wood in Belleville, provided what some coaches mentioned was “the perfect course for OFSAA.” Host convenors Jim Barbeau and Stephen Goyer of Nicholson Catholic College, along with the great staff at Trillium Wood Golf Club, ensured a fantastic experience for all coaches and students.

The festival kicked-off with an ample banquet dinner, as well as entertainment from a magician which captured the students’ attention throughout the evening.

Day one of the competition had students thinking about every shot as they navigated the challenging course,

October 12 - 13, 2011

Loch March Golf & Country Club in Kanata was the backdrop for the festival, which was beautiful with the fall colours on the trees, but it was also a challenging course that created a close battle among the top five golfers.

Again a big thank you to both the convenors of the festival and the staff at Trillium Wood for doing everything they could to ensure a memorable experience for all participants.

At the end of 18 holes it was Brooke Henderson from Smiths Falls HS (EOSSAA) who claimed first place. The Association Award Winner goes to YRAA for the second consecutive year. Congratulations to all participants!

The Girls’ AAAA Basketball Championship was held in Belle River and host school St. Anne’s did a great job making everyone feel welcome.

Kingston played host to the Girls’ AAA Basketball Championship this year and the co-convenors, Kelly Dixon and Dr. Tom Holmes coordinated a great championship with the support of their organizing committee. The championship had some interesting and exciting new opponent match-ups as some schools' classifications changed this year.

Many games were played at the Queens University Athletic Complex including the medal games, and the venue brought added prestige to the championship experience.

None of this could have been possible without the help of the championship organizing committee and support of the host school, Holy Cross CSS. St. Mary’s Crusaders from Hamilton (GHAC) were the ultimate victors of the gold medal match, despite a consistent comeback attempt by A.N. Meyer throughout the game.

OFSAA Cross Country 2011 was hosted by the East Region under the leadership of Sean Clancy (Cairine Wilson SS) and Gary Monsour (Hillcrest HS). The championships were held at Green’s Creek Conservation Area (also known as the Hornet’s Nest).

Weather conditions were dramatically different from the cold and dreary Saturday in November 2001 when the championship was last held in that location. Clear sunny skies with little wind and a temperature around eight degrees Celsius made the course in 2011 ideal for the athletes. Nearly 1,500 athletes from 300 schools treated approximately 5,000 parents, coaches, and friends to six exciting races on the very spectator-friendly course.

Newmarket

Manitoulin Island

November 3 - 5, 2011

For the second time, and hopefully not the last, OFSAA Boys’ A Volleyball made its way to Manitoulin Island.

The challenges of facilities, both in numbers and distance apart, didn’t impact either the quality of the tournament, or the enjoyment experienced by both students and coaches. Convenor Peter Kategiannis of Manitoulin SS, was focused on one thing; ensuring a memorable experience for all participants, and no one would argue that he wasn’t successful.

Newmarket High School played host to the 2011 OFSAA Girls’ Field Hockey Championship, and convenor Cathie Croucher and her organizing committee ran multiple sites to host this great event.

Typical of past OFSAA Field Hockey Championships, there was a mix of weather, including rain, wind, cold, and finally some sun and warmer temperatures for the medal games.

The weather did not put a damper on the spirits or competitiveness of the girls though, and some excellent field hockey was played.

The opening ceremonies set the tone for the tournament as video montages, Aboriginal drummers, and some island trivia served as a pep rally for all teams competing. In a possible first for a boys OFSAA championship banquet, teams weren’t not just invited up for a second helping of food, but also a third helping, and even with that there was food left over!

In a repeat of last year’s championship final there was a battle between CWOSSA rivals Resurrection CSS and Sir John A. MacDonald. Although Sir John A. MacDonald fought hard, defending champions Resurrection outscored them 4-1 to claim the gold medal.

The OFSAA Leadership in School Sport Award was presented to Cathy Coffin formerly from Dr. Denison SS (YRAA) and Scott Croucher from Stouffville DSS (YRAA). Both have taught for many years, convened the local school field hockey leagues, coached field hockey and been integral members of the York Region Athletic Association or OFSAA Sport Advisory Committee. Thank you to Cathy and Scott for everything you have done for high school athletics.

Despite all the humour being thrown around at the banquet, a heartfelt presentation of the Leadership in School Sport Award was had when Peter Kategiannis was announced as the recipient. Peter has been involved as a coach for over 20 years where his dedication to coaching volleyball, basketball, track and field and rugby has shown in both the success his teams have achieved, as well as the respect they have for him as a coach.

Putting the festivities of the previous night behind them, players took to the courts the next day to chase after the gold medal. Unbelievable comebacks, exciting action, and nothing but sportsmanship behaviour filled the next three days of competition. In the end, Quinte Christian HS (COSSA) defeated possibly the most resilient defensive team in the province in Academy Mere-Theresa (GHAC).

November 23 - 26, 2011

Coming to the rescue of Boys’ AAA and AAAA Volleyball were convenors Andrea McCabe and Antoinette Krusto of Cathedral HS (GHAC). The two championships were without a host and in jeopardy until these two stepped up as convenors. The two did not disappoint, organizing a wonderful championship that was very well-organized and ran close to perfectly.

Stratford played host to this year’s OFSAA Boys’ AA Volleyball Championship, and using the fantastic facilities at the Stratford Agriplex, host convenors Martin Ritsma (Stratford Northwestern) and Patrick Donnelly (F.E. Madill) led a team of dedicated volunteers, including an elite team of minor officials, in hosting a memorable championship.

The tournament didn’t get off to the best start for the team from Loyalist C&VI (EOSSAA), which lost a starting player to a broken ankle on the first point of their first game.

However, the team showed their perseverance by battling hard the rest of the tournament, taking home the antique bronze medal.

At the banquet, guest speaker Tom Valcke, CEO of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, captivated the audience with some great stories and even brought along unique items from the Hall of Fame to show the students. Also at the banquet, David Finnie of Stratford Northwestern (WOSSAA) was presented with the Leadership in School Sport Award for his years of coaching and commitment to ensure students have a positive school sport experience.

In fact, his dedication to school sport should have been evident to anyone in attendance as David was there to the bitter end with his team of volunteers cleaning up tables and stacking chairs.

There was a lot of depth to this year’s tournament so there was no surprise when the gold medal match

The Leadership in School Sport Awards were presented to Marc Gaulin of É.S. George P. Vanier (SOSSA) and Kathy Biros of St. Jean de Brebeuf HS (GHAC). Marc has been coaching volleyball for 28 years at all levels. Despite a lower population at his school, Marc has pushed his students to do their best which has been reflected in the number of championships and league titles the school has won. Marc is well known for his positive attitude and respect for players, coaches and officials.

Kathy has been coaching high school athletes for over 30 years in almost every sport available. She has been an avid volunteer within the school and association as well as acting as the physical education head at her school. Kathy is a strong believer in leading by example and has obviously done a good job as many of her students and teams have achieved huge success under her leadership.

Congratulations to Marc and Kathy.

Coordinating two tournaments at once is a difficult task and the host school boards should be thanked for working together to provide all the required venues to accommodate the eight courts required for game play.

The AAA championship saw a rematch of the 2010 gold medal game between Regiopolis-Notre Dame (EOSSAA) and Oakridge SS (WOSSAA). This time it was Oakridge's turn to hoist the trophy as the team took home the gold medal. Congratulations to players Kyle Richards, Mike Choja, Michael Wilkinson, Ben Shantz, Scott Clark, Brad Kuiack, Riley McLay, Niki Nikolov, Andrew Richards, Brian Choja, Cole Jordan, Nick Rybansky, Dylan Zuvic, and coaches Jamie Neilson, Mark Laidman, Mark Morrison, and Andrea Brulé.

In the AAAA championship, top teams Bill Crothers SS (YRAA) and St. Michaels College (CISAA) met in the gold medal game to determine this year’s champion. Both teams fought hard, taking turns winning sets. However, St.

Following the amazing championships, the host committee selected Waterloo-Oxford DHS (CWOSSA) as the AAA and Robert F. Hall (ROPSSAA) as the AAAA Team Sportsmanship winners.
