Physical activity is an important part of every student’s life. It improves health, concentration and self-esteem. It also reduces stress and promotes physical growth and development. 

Maillard's 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 "no cut" policy in Middle School Athletics. Every student can participate and are asked to have a positive attitude and have good attendance for practices and games.

Athletic Director: Mr. Gallant (angallant@sd43.bc.ca)

Maillard Athletics department typically offers the following sports:

2026-2027 Athletic Fee is $26.25. The optional Athletic fee is a one-time yearly charge for unlimited extra-curricular sports throughout the year if your child is planning on participating on a school team this school year. (If you are not sure if your child will participate in a Maillard Team sport this school year, this fee does not need to be paid.)
After paying this one-time Athletic Fee, your child can participate in more than 1 sport! 😀

Please pay this fee if your child will be participating in a 2026/27 school sport, as soon as possible.

NOTE: When it is time to sign up for a school sport, a separate sport e-permission must be completed for your child to attend practices & games. This will be emailed to you through your School Cash Online account once your child signs up with the coach of that sport.
