We’re excited to share about a new 8 week program we’ve recently started running at Abbotsford Traditional Middle School called Noon Hour Sports for All. This is a weekly program facilitated by Mandy and Dilraj, and provides middle school students with the opportunity to meet new friends and build connections through recreation and sport.

Students are invited to participate in the session at the end of their eating break. They are greeted by Mandy and Dilraj when they arrive in the gym, and then move into games and activities. More traditional team games are played such as basketball, dodgeball, and soccer; however we also benefit from Mandy’s expertise on British games and she has been able to introduce new games ‘from across the pond’ to the students.

We’ve had 53 students participate in this new program in the first three weeks; with the majority of students returning weekly to participate. We’re excited to watch this program continue to grow over the coming weeks.

At the AYC we are passionate about providing quality recreation and social experiences for youth in our community, and we are thrilled to offer our Noon Hour Sports for All program through the generous support of the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Community Development Grant.
