Bodwell’s string of championships with the North Shore Athletic Association and the Greater Vancouver Independent School Athletic Association is a testament to the expertise of our coaches and the genuine team efforts of our student athletes. Bodwell has the benefit of a full gymnasium, indoor pool, and other close by facilities. However, the individual perspectives of our international student athletes are what add richness to the Bodwell athletic experience.
All of our athletes work on the cornerstones of teamwork and sportsmanship to ensure their own success and their teams, both on and off the field. To a Bodwell student athlete, winning is an effect of hard work, dedication, cooperation, and an open mind.
Here we give you a roundup of Bodwell’s sport teams since September 2014. Keep a look out in the summer term for Bodwell’s progress in track and field. This post features Bodwell’s volleyball teams who were arguably the most successful of all the sports teams this season.
Volleyball
The Senior Boys were the best volleyball team Bodwell has ever had according to coach Macintosh. They won the GVISAA League and came 2nd in the Lower Mainland zones narrowly missing out on going to the Provincials. The Senior Girls won the GVISAA Greater Vancouver Championship. The Junior Girls finished 5th in their league but came 2nd in GVISAA, beating two teams who finished higher than them in the regular season of play.
