Spartan Softball

Congratulations to the softball team on their 12-4 victory over Westmont yesterday! All of the girls contributed with their bats and our defense held strong even with some quick left handed opponents. Our next game is today (4/30), against Westview starting at 4pm at home.

Our soccer and badminton units will be wrapping up at the beginning of next week. Make sure that you review the study guides before the cognitive tests!

Safe travels to everyone attending the band trip this Thursday and Friday. Have a great time!

The current units of badminton and soccer are going well. In soccer we started playing full games working on positions and communication with teammates. We will continue to play full field games for the remainder of the unit. In badminton, the doubles tournament has been underway for a few days now. I have seen all players using multiple drop and smash shots to throw their opponents off balance. I hope that by the end of the unit, all students will have enough knowledge of the game to be able to enjoy it outside of school during the summer.

Congrats to Evan M. and Austen J. for a hard fought game of badminton. Even though they were defeated 15-8 they played some excellent shots and never gave up!

The softball team beat Burr Ridge last week with excellent offensive power and a strong defense. The next home games will be on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Come on out and show your support!

Soccer and Badminton

The seventh and eighth grade girls have been doing an excellent job in their soccer and badminton units. We are about two weeks into each unit and the skill level for both have been very impressive. We finally had the chance to go outside and enjoy the nice weather for soccer today where we played a modified game of 3on3 line soccer. In badminton, we are currently in the middle of doubles play and will move into tournament play starting next week.

The Lakeview softball team has an away game tomorrow at Burr Ridge starting at 4pm. I believe if the team starts out aggressive on offense and stays strong on defense we will walk away with a victory! Go Spartans!

The seventh and eighth grade students began their new units today starting badminton and soccer. In badminton we will begin with singles half-court play and then move into doubles play. Our soccer unit will start off with some skill practice of passing, dribbling and shooting on the goal and then next week we will start full games. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us over the next couple months so we can be outside each day.

The girls softball team will play their first game tomorrow (Tuesday 4/8) at home against Old Quarry. All of the girls have been working very hard everyday in practice and I believe we have a very strong team this year with a ton of talent. We play Tuesday and Thursday this week at home, 4pm start. Hope to see you there!

Trimester Three

This week in 7th and 8th grade classes we decided to stay with our pickleball and ping pong units due to the poor weather outside. We will begin soccer and badminton on Monday and will continue those for the majority of April. Our seventh grade students will begin designing their own jump rope or step routine starting this week. Each student will get a handout of what is required and expected out of each routine and then may begin to start developing their own.

Sixth grade students will be switching into their final units out of pickleball, ping pong and whiffle ball. Remember that every student receives a study guide at the beginning of every unit and this is the information that will be on their cognitive test at the end of the unit.

Softball practice was canceled yesterday due to weather, however, today we will be going over to Perfect Swing to try and get some swings in before our first game next Tuesday.
