Physical activity is an important part of a middle school student’s life. It improves health, concentration and self-esteem. It also reduces stress and promotes physical growth and development.  Our sports programs aim to develop in our students a positive attitude and an interest in a wide range of physical activities. They also aim to raise student’s awareness in making good health and fitness choices. There is a one time athletics fee of 20.00 each year, to cover the cost of referees, uniforms and annual BC Sports and Coquitlam Sports association fees. 

In a normal school year Montgomery offers;

• FALL SPORTS  Volleyball         Swimming        Cross Country  
• WINTER            Basketball        Wrestling          Ski and Snowboard Club
• SPRING            Badminton       Track and Field
• ALL YEAR​​        Noon hour Intramurals 

Please also check out the website for the Coquitlam Middle School Athletic Association where you will find  policy information.​  Please email our Athletic Directors Mrs. Perry or Ms. Tuan at pperry@sd43.bc.ca or ntuan@sd43.bc.ca​​ for further information. ​

​ Competitive Mountain Biking

Montgomery Mountain Biking Team Update

                We had a great first session with our team of students last Thursday even though the rain was trying its best to wash us out. Each student received a bicycle maintenance check list which they need to go thorough before bringing their bikes to school on Thursdays for the after-school event. This ensures that their bike is running well and will help lessen the amount of time spent fixing bikes rather than riding the trails.

Other items needed: We are also asking that every student have a…

- spare tube that is correctly sized for their wheel in the event of a flat. 

- water bottle attached to their bike or in a small backpack with waist strap. Hydro bags are also good options.   

Important notes for April 25^th Event: “Riverview Forest Park Trails"

We will be leaving Montgomery School around 3:15 and riding to Riverview Forest Park via Mondy Park. We will be leaving the trails at 5:00 and riding back to Montgomery with a return time of no later than 5:30. For this event we would like all team members to ride the complete distance from the school and back, so please plan to pick your child up at the school rather than the park.

Schedule of Events for remainder of year:

For the remainder of the events students will be driven to each event location but will need to be picked up from each location at 5:30pm as we cannot guarantee drivers will be able to return to the school. If this is a problem, please contact one of us and we can try to make special arrangements.

• Practice ride at Burt Flynn Park (Thursday May 4^th) Pick up location will be Heritage Woods Secondary 1300 David Avenue.
  

• Practice ride at Burke Mountain (Thursday May 11^th) Pick up location will be 3501 Harper Rd.
   
• Practice ride at Burnaby Mountain Trails (Thursday, May 18^th) Pick up location will be 1035 North Rd.
