A Word from the Phys-Ed Department:

- Grade 4/5 Frisbee,
- Grade 4/5 Boys' Soccer,
- Grade 6 Boys' Soccer and
- Track and Field.
Just wanted to take a moment and wish the graduating class of 2012 the best of luck at their new school next year. Many of you have been my student in Gym class since Grade 1! I have been extremely fortunate to have had an opportunity to teach and coach many of you over the last 6 years. Good luck and don't forget to come back and visit us.
A big thank you to all the parents of the Grade 6 students who will be leaving us at the end of this year. Whether you helped out with the driving to our games or provided snacks at the end of the game, your support of the Phys-Ed program and Sports teams at Brown has been very much appreciated by all.
THANK YOU,
Mr. Profiti.
Track & Field
This year, the 2012 Track Team made up of 57 students ranging from Grades 3 to 6 participated in the South Qualifying meet at U of T on May 17th. The team ran, jumped and cheered everbody on as the competed in their various track or field events. The weather was spectacular and the results from that day matched the weather! Of the 57 athletes, 25 athletes qualified for the South Finals.
At the South Finals/City Qualifying meet, we had 5 students finish in the top 4 in their event and
thus qualify for the City Finals on June 12th. Good luck to Audrey G., Jack T., Sydney M., Sam C.
and Ross T.!

Boys' Soccer - Grades 4/5
What can you say other than this year’s squad was a force with which to be reckoned? They completed the regular season undefeated at an all-day tournament in record-breaking temperatures. The sun wasn’t the only thing hot that day. Our boys finished the three games with some very impressive scores and some highlight reel-worthy ball handling, aggressive play and unbeatable defense.
The boys rolled through to the quarterfinals and were looking forward to the conference semi-finals, when a strong team and awful luck cut their season short.
Congratulations to Antoine, Christopher, Elliott, Ethan, Ethan, Jack, Jackson, Jonah, Markus, Matthew, Micah, Owen, Ross, Sam, Thomas, and of course the invisible, Patrick on an exciting and well-played season.
Many thanks go to the parents for their driving and support throughout the season, and to Mr. Ellis and Darrin for their coaching expertise.
We look forward to seeing you again next spring.
Go Ligers!
Coaches: Tyler Ellis, Yolanda B'Dacy and Darrin Chin
Boys' Soccer - Grade 6
What can you say other than this year’s squad were a force to be reckoned with. Completing the regular season undefeated and with only one goal against. The boys rolled through the quarterfinals and were looking good in the conference semi-finals when a thunderstorm stopped the game. In the make-up game the following day the boys got off to a slow start and fell behind by two goals. They got there game back in the second half and got a quick goal and had multiple chances but ran out of time. Congratulations, boys, on an exciting and well-played season.
Coaches: Tyler Ellis, Yolanda B'Dacy and Darrin Chin
Girls' Soccer - Grade 4/5
The team of Grade 4/5 Girls came ready to play at Riverdale Park on May 14th. Even though the team did not qualify for the play-offs, this group of Girls certainly did not quit and gave it their very best effort in each and every game. A big thank-you to the parents for all their support and we look forward to next year!
Coaches: Victor Daigneau and Paul Profiti
Girls' Soccer - Grade 6
The Grade 6 Girls played their one-day tournament at Forest Hill PS on May 11th. The girls were determined to play their best soccer with many of the Girls not having much soccer experience outside of school. With some timely goaltending, strong defence, steady midfielders and pesky forwards the team managed to win 1 of their 3 games and came away with some great soccer experience and most of all some great memories. Good luck, girls, at your new school next year.
Coaches: Victor Daigneau and Paul Profiti
Ultimate Frisbee - Grade 6
This year’s Grade 6 Frisbee team served as an example of how the whole is not always greater than the sum of the parts. We had speed. We had height. We had hustle. We had spirit. We had a great collection of athletes. Yet, when push came to shove (or, more correctly, when flick came to stack) we walked away with nothing to show for it.
Our tournament on May 10th was won handily by Palmerston who recently went on to win the South Championship over Dewson Public School (who placed second at our tournament).
Thanks to all players for an enjoyable, albeit short season.
Coaches: Ms Baptist, Ms Fox, Mr. Mac
Ultimate Frisbee - Grades 4/5
The Grade 4/5 team played in a 3-team tournament at McMurrich on May 25th. A one-sided loss to open play served as our motivation for our second game. Strong play, tenacious defence, Kelly Clarkson, and a mad-catch by Sydney all combined to produce a much-needed victory and a spot in the playoffs.
On June 5th, we traveled to Chester Elementary to play in the South Semi-Finals. The game went back-and-forth with the two teams matching each other point-for-point. Heartbreakingly, Chester scored the deciding point in sudden-death overtime (at the end of a nearly 9-minute shift) to defeat Brown 10-9. Definitely the most compelling Frisbee game we’ve had at Brown over the past five years.
All players are to be commended for an excellent run and we’re already looking towards making a bid for a championship in 2013. Thanks also to all those parents who helped to drive us to all our practices.
Coaches: Ms Baptist, Ms Fox, Mr. Mac
