The Balmoral Hall School Athletics program continues the BH tradition of using the best practices in girls learning and development to ensure success. From academics and debating to performing arts and high performance athletics, BH is leading the way in demonstrating how girls can achieve when provided the opportunity to learn and grow in ways that suit them best. The Athletics Program We believe students should be physically active on a regular basis in order to develop personal health and fitness. Student participation in active, hands-on and meaningful experiences is an essential part of the learning process. The BH Athletics program enhances mental energy and academic performance while promoting a philosophy of active healthy lifestyles. The BH Athletics program provides all students with opportunities to acquire, maintain and refine skills and knowledge and to apply these concepts to a variety of activities on a regular basis. The emphasis from Kindergarten to Grade 4 is on basic movement skills. In Grade 5, students are introduced to sport specific skills and rules. In Middle School, students continue to develop these skills and lay the foundation for more complex athletic involvement in Senior School. The BH Athletic program structure is enriched through a series of clubs, developmental squads and finally, elite team opportunities in hockey and volleyball. “The Club Volleyball program allows me to pursue a sport I love and has given me the tools to be a strong team player on the court and as a Prefect in student government.” “Coming to Balmoral Hall has been so significant to my life not only because I am able to play the sport I love at a higher level, but because the school changed my perspective on life. It taught me how to make my dreams a reality and for that, I am thankful.” “Balmoral Hall gave me the opportunity to play against an amazing amount of good players and good teams. I was playing against university teams in Grade 10 when I was 14 years old, so I've been exposed to this level of hockey since a really young age. That has helped me to step into this level [university hockey] and accomplish some things already."
School Teams The BH Blazers Hockey program offers female hockey players high calibre training and development opportunities, along with a rigorous academic curriculum delivered in small class settings. The BH Blazers program includes a high school team, a developmental hockey skills program as well as a skating skills program for Grades 3 – 5.
