Knights Athletics

Knights athletics offers many opportunities for student athletes.  Whether you enjoy running trails, spiking volleyballs, shooting hoops, chasing a birdie, kicking a ball or throwing implements, we have a spot for you.  Our teams compete in Cross-Country, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, Soccer, and Track and Field events throughout the school year.  With the exception of soccer, each of these activities allows our athletes to compete for provincial championships held throughout the province.

Over our 22 year history, we have won 6 provincial team championships, attended over 25 team events and had individuals competing in Cross Country and Track & Field events annually.  Sportsmanship banners have been awarded to CACHS athletes on 4 occasions as well, the most recent being last year to our girl’s basketball team.  It has been a rich history of athletics and God has blessed us with many opportunities to showcase our faith on and off the field in the public arena.

Cross-country

Cross-country running events require athletes who enjoy battling courses with steep terrain changes, diverse weather conditions and distances from 3-7 kilometers in length.  Each year we have athletes who qualify as one of the top 18 zone athletes and thus earn the opportunity to compete at provincial events.  If you enjoy running over a variety of terrain cross-country season runs from September to October of each year.

Soccer

Over the last several years, our school have participated in the Central Alberta Schools Soccer League and competed against schools ranging from 100 students to 2000 students.  The season begins in early May and wraps up in the middle of June with a zone championship usually held in Red Deer.

Badminton

Athletes at CACHS also have the opportunity to participate in badminton.  Competitions are held in the area championships, zone championships, and if they qualify, the provincial championships.

Track & Field

Track season usually begin as soon as the snow departs from the fields and wraps up the first week of June with the provincial championships.  Events range from running events: 100 – 3000 meters, jumping events: high jump, long jump, triple jump & hurdles, throwing events: javelin, shot put, & discus as well as relays of 100 and 400 meters.

Athletes compete in two qualifying events – areas and zones, each allowing the opportunity for athletes to compete at the provincial championships.  At provincials the top sixteen athletes from around the province will compete for the title of provincial champion.  CACHS athletes have won several medals in hurdles, shot put, discus, and high jump events.

Golf

This past year three of our athletes indicated an interest and ability in the game of golf.  One finished 2^nd at the zone championship, and participated in the provincial championships held in Spruce Grove.
