TMS is committed to excellence in Athletics as a part of a larger commitment to excellence in Education. At TMS, athletics is an integral component of student life and we strive to provide an innovative and successful program. Read about the latest updates in Athletics at TMS.

Lower School Athletics

The Athletic Program at the Lower School has been full steam ahead during both the winter and spring terms. It has been an exciting couple of months as the teams continue to play for the first time in CISAA (Conference of Independent Schools Athletics Association) and we have had exponential participation from students across all grade levels.

Grade 2 Co-Curricular Basketball

With the implementation of co-curricular mornings, our Grade 3 and 4 students enjoyed co-Volleyball and Basketball two days a week. Now the spring term has provided an opportunity for our Grade 2s to hone their Basketball skills. This is thanks to added capacity with three coaches, which has meant us being able to add 10 more spots to the previous cap of 40 students. It is exciting to introduce younger students to these games, and get them excited for athletics.

Exciting Spring and Winter Season

The tail-end of the winter season featured a robust roster of teams competing at various levels. Two teams for U10 Boys Basketball (Grade 4); two teams of 14 for U12 Boys Basketball; and two teams of 13 for U12 Girls Volleyball (Grade 5 and 6).

The spring has an equally exciting line-up of teams. A total of 50 students from Grades 3 to 6 participated in a number of Track and Field events, played at various venues including York University, Pickering College and other independent schools. In addition, the U12 Girls Soccer team (Grades 5 and 6) participated in three tournaments at Trafalgar Castle School, TFS Toronto French School and Holy Trinity School.

Ultimate Frisbee Anyone?

New this year is the introduction of U12 Co-ed Ultimate Frisbee for Grade 5s and 6s. The sport hasn’t been played at the Lower School for almost a decade, and this year marks the first time it has been offered for students this age in CISAA history. The students were so excited by its introduction that we were able to make two complete teams.

To support the growth of Ultimate Frisbee, the sport has also been added to the Grade 4, 5 and 6 curriculum to help students better understand the sport and what it means to be a part of the team. While Grade 4s cannot try yet out for the team, the early exposure gives them many more athletic options in the future.

Overall, the teams have played in 21 tournaments across a multitude of sports. We are excited for a number of events in June, including our Annual Grade 4-6 Track and Field Day, our Grade 1-3 Play Day, and our Awards Assembly to celebrate the many talents across our sports. Go Titans!

Upper School Athletics

We had approximately 120 athletes participate in our Winter Athletic Season and represent TMS in CISAA competition. Our Titans did not disappoint in their perseverance, passion and performance skills displayed over the course of the long winter season. Tryouts and training commenced back in November, with CISAA Championships consolidating the season in late February. A majority of our teams earned play-off positions and some even a spot in the coveted final four championship tournaments. Our JR Girls Volleyball DIII team brought home the hardware, winning 2nd place and silver medals!

All of our athletes definitely deserve much credit and recognition for their athletic pursuit and desire to represent their school - truly showing what it means to be a Titan!
