Welcome Friends and Families of David Cameron
My name is Alyson Webber and I am an intermediate teacher here at David Cameron. I have taken on the responsibility as the Sooke Sports Council Representative for David Cameron. This is the first year I have been on the council and am looking forward to meeting all sports participants, spectators and hosts from other schools. If you have any questions you can contact me at the school at (250) 478 7621 or via email ttacwebber@hotmail.com.
Goals of the Sooke Sports Council
To encourage maximum participation in all sporting events
To promote enthusiasm amongst the students by allowing them to participate in extra curricular activities
To not cut students from teams, allowing all students to attend practices
To allow all students who attend practices to play a significant amount of games throughout the season
To take a reasonable number of students to a game
To have students attending the game play the same amount of time
Spectator’s Expectations
Spectators are encouraged and welcomed to attend school sporting activities. It is expected that each spectator will:
Behave in a positive, courteous manner as guests of the host school
Cheer in a positive manner for all competitors. At the elementary level the students are being encouraged to try all
sports and they often go out of their comfort level.
Respect the decisions of officials. All referees are volunteering their time. As well, referees are basing their decisions
on the game rules which have been altered at the elementary school level in order to increase participation.
To be courteous and respectful to all other spectators, all competitors and all coaches and event organizers. Be an
example to the students.
Respect the rules and the regulations of the host school, especially with regard to food and drink.
Athlete’s Expectations
Students are encouraged to participate in all extra-curricular activities and sports teams. It is expected that each athlete will:
Behave above the normal standard and show respect to teammates, coaches, opponents, event organizers and
spectators. It is a privilege to represent the school and community
Demonstrate 100% respect and cooperation so skills and knowledge of the game can be learned and/or improved.
Coaches are there on their own time.
Respect decisions by a referee in any game without gesture or argument. Some calls are always missed in any
sport, at any level.
Appreciate the parent drivers, without these volunteers games would not be possible.
Treat opponents with respect and show sportsmanship at all times.
Exercise self-control at all times by winning gracefully and losing with dignity.
Volleyball
Our Volleyball season is well underway and a big thanks to Brenda Cyr and Jenny Chesley for volunteering to coach ALL THREE teams. This year we have two girls (blue and gold) teams as well as a boys team. Sponsor teachers for Volleyball are Ms Maggoria, Ms Stewart and Ms Webber.

VOLLEYBALL RULES
> The games are played to 25 points
> A team needs to win by 2 points
> There is a 5 serve rule—when a server has served 5 times and received 5 points then there is an automatic loss of serve and the serve goes over to the other side. They rotate and begin their serve.
> Depending on the size of the school courts, we usually allow the students to take one step into the court from the back line when serving.
> No jewellery please.
> Substitution can occur any way the coaches decide (players being expected to play reasonably equal amounts)
> Players can’t block or spike a serve.
> Referees should not allow holding or scooping the ball.
