Important message from the PTG:

Please review our sport handbook, located on the website.
Basketball is a team sport that places five players on the court at a
time. The game is 32 minutes for the A team and 28 minutes for the B
team. This is a cut sport that recommends a team size of up to 10-12
players. Final team numbers would be at the administration and coaches’ discretion. CDS Basketball supports two girl’s teams and two boy’s teams, A and B. This sport is open to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. If there are not enough players to fill these teams, the fifth graders will be eligible to try out for the B team only.
Cheering can have up to two teams, a competition team and a
cheering squad. The cheering squad consists of the whole team. The team cheers at all home games. The competition squad has the opportunity to cheer at cheerleading competitions throughout the season. They cheer competitively three or four times during the season. The recommended team size is sixteen to twenty cheerleaders. Final team numbers would be at the administration and coaches’ discretion.
Congratulations to both of our soccer teams for finishing an amazing season with 2 wins! They both won their championship games in overtime. They were very exciting games! At the request of our coaches, please see the information about the upcoming banquet:
"The soccer parent game and end of season celebration will be Wednesday at 4PM.
Please bring clean uniforms, so we can make sure we get them all back! Thank you
We will start the parent game a little early this year, around 4 PM. No worries if you can't be there at 4, we will be playing for a while and you can join when you get there. We split the players up in 2 groups. They will alternate 10 minute periods, substituting back and forth. Parents can substitute at will. Depending on the numbers, siblings are welcome to join on the parents side!
We will have pizza delivered around 4:45 PM outside. If you are not playing, we can use some parents to handle the pizza delivery and set up. The kids that are not playing at the time can grab some food and when we substitute the other half can grab some. We ask parents to bring chips and deserts this year.
The Orrington Rec is donating the left over drinks in the snack shack, sodas, Gatorade, water and hot chocolate. Bring some more soda of your choosing if you'd like.
There is a chance of rain, so if you have a popup tent / ez-up, please consider bringing it. If the rain gets too bad, we will bring the food into the cafeteria. After the game we will do the end of year presentation, either outside or in the gym. We had a great season this year and proud of ALL the players! See you all Wednesday!"
Due to the impending weather the cross country championship has been rescheduled to Thursday, October 28th.
Picture Day is tomorrow! I can't wait to see all of those smiles!

Congratulations to both our girls and boys soccer teams for winning their games last night and advancing to the championships tomorrow at Hampden Academy. We are confirming times as I write this. Please continue to check back in later this morning. I will post it as soon as the league has confirmed. Don't forget the Soccer Under the Lights game tonight, beginning at 6:00!
Looking for something fun to do on Friday night? Come watch the annual Soccer Under the Lights game. We will be playing our sister school, Dedham, on Friday night, starting at 6:00. Boys play first. Our very own Faccini twins will be playing the National Anthem, our 8th graders will be recognized and, of course, food from the snack shack will be available. A huge thank you to Union Street Towing for supplying the lights and to our Orrington Rec Committee for continuing to sponsor this fun night.
Thank you for your patience as we work through soccer play offs! Please keep checking the website or speaking to your coaches regarding any last minute changes. As of right now, Center Drive will be hosting both the boys and girls games on Thursday, October 21st. Boys will play first, beginning at 3:30.
