Athletics

All students must complete an Acknowledgement of Risk & Informed Consent form before participating in any athletic activity at CJHS. Information about tryouts and links to the required forms can be found on each sport’s individual athletics page.

WAS Students
WAS students may try out at their designated school for Volleyball and Basketball. Participation in Archery, Cross Country, Golf, Track, and Badminton must take place through the WAS school. (See AP 262)

Non-Westwind Students
Students not enrolled in a Westwind school may be permitted to try out. They must register with the South Zone prior to tryouts and submit proof of registration to tyler.bevans@westwind.ab.ca. Please note: non-Westwind students will only be offered a spot on a team if there are not enough Westwind students to fill the roster.

Archery

Archery tryouts start in PE class and then happen in November. From January to May the chosen team will practice and participate in Zones, Provincials and possibly Nationals.

Grade 6, 7, and 8 students can participate on the archery team.

Badminton

Badminton league begins in March and runs through April. Teams will be registered based on age groups and not grades.

Basketball

We have grade 7 and 8 boys and girls teams. The season runs from November to March. These teams are competitive and do not guarantee equal playing times. 

We offer Sixers Basketball for grade six students which is a developmental program.

Cross Country

All grades can participate in Cross Country Running. This sport begins in September and practices are after school (the time and frequency will be determined by the coach at the start of the season).

Track and Field

Track and Field is part of the PE curriculum. All students are expected to participate in a Track & Field day in May.  Grade 7 & 8 students are grouped by age, not grade. If they qualify they can go to divisionals and/or zones.

Volleyball

We offer Sixers Volleyball for grade six students which is a developmental program.

Triathlon – Grade 8

All grade 8 students participate in a triathlon in June as part of their PE curriculum. They can participate in teams or as individuals.

Uniforms are the property of the school and must be treated with care. 

Before athletes receive their uniform, a $50.00 deposit must be submitted. This can be done through cash or e-transfer. In addition, athletic fees must be paid—or payment arrangements made—prior to receiving a uniform.

To help maintain the quality and lifespan of our uniforms (which can last up to 8 years with proper care), please follow these guidelines:

• DO NOT use bleach

• Hang to dry – Using a dryer may damage numbers or logos

• Plan ahead – Wash uniforms after the game, not right before

• Uniforms are for games only – After games, athletes may continue wearing their uniform only if it is covered by other clothing (e.g., sweatpants, sweater), as uniforms snag easily

• Return uniforms clean at the end of the season – Upon successful inspection, the $50.00 deposit will be refunded

Thank you for helping us extend the life of our uniforms and maintain a professional appearance for our teams.

Participation in CJHS Athletics requires the payment of a fee, which helps cover costs such as transportation, uniforms, equipment maintenance, referee fees, and tournament entry. Fees must be paid—or a payment arrangement made—before an athlete is eligible to participate in games or competitions.

Fees can be paid by:
• Cash
• Cheque (made payable to CJHS)
• E-transfer to: cjhsfees@westwind.ab.ca

Please note: Fees are subject to change without notice.
