Additional Sport Supported by Paarl Boys' Primary School
Water Polo, Golf and Squash are offered by Paarl Boys' Primary School, but have not yet achieved full school sports status and cannot be offered at the same level as school sports.
They are however considered part of the school's extensive sports program with a view to offering it as full-fledged school sports in the near future.
WATER POLO
Water Polo is available to all learners in Grades 5, 6 and 7. There is one u.13 team and one u.11 team.
Water Polo practice will take place twice a week with matches on a Friday and/or Saturday.
Team Selection
The organizer and coach will decide on the composition of a team. Ability is all that counts. The team choice may change according to the development of the players.
The B team may also rotate to give other players the opportunity to compete during matches.
Tournaments
We receive invitations to tournaments offered by other schools. These tournaments generally take place in term 1 and 4.
Clothing
Learners are required to wear a swimming costume (speedo-style) during a practice at school.
During matches, learners must be neatly dressed in BPS blue PT shorts and white BPS shirt or the kit supplied for the u.13A Team.
Squash
Practice Times
Will be according to the school's Extra-mural programme.
Matches
League matches take place during the second and third term. Matches take place after school, on a Friday afternoon. If it is an away match, our boys will be transported to the opposing school and returned to our school at the end of the match.
Team selection
Team selection will be made by the coach. Trials will be held at the beginning of each year. Ability is all that counts. The team choice may change according to the development of the players.
Only Grades 5, 6 & 7 will be included in a touring team if the school is invited to tour together with the other sporting codes.
Tournaments
We receive invitations to tournaments offered by other schools. These may take place in any term. Learners are informed when invitations are received.
