Community Program Update

July 7, 2025

Hi everyone,

Please see below for an update on everyone’s community programs for the upcoming week.  I have separated them by community so that you can simply scroll thru until you find your community and then go from there.

Bloomfield:

Under 5 boys & girls will train at 9 am on Tuesday, July 8

Under 7 boys & girls will train at 10 am on Tuesday, July 8

Under 7 boys & girls will train at 10 am on Thursday, July 8

Alberton:

***  It does not look like Alberton is going to have a recreation director or a student in place for the summer so our club summer students are going to travel to Alberton every Wednesday morning to run the practices for the under 7 boys & girls who have registered so that they can at least get training sessions in their community.  For the jamborees we will see if they want to do a co-ed team and play in the boys division or if not, then we might have to combine the players with the Tignish players and make a couple of teams for the game side of things.  For now though our schedule will be as follows

Under 9 boys will train at 6 pm on Monday, July 7 (at Elementary school)

Under 7 boys & girls will train at 10 am on Wednesday, July 9 (at Elementary school)

Under 9 girls will train at 9 am on Sunday, July 13 (at Hernewood school)

O’Leary:

***  The O’Leary recreation department does have a summer student in place so they will take care of doing the training for the Under 7 boys for O’Leary and that will begin this Thursday.  The Under 9 boys & girls teams do have coaches in place for the league games that we play.  The girls will train out of Hernewood while the boys will train out of O’Leary on Monday nights and the summer student will help with that training session as well.

Under 9 boys will train at 5:30 pm on Monday, July 7 (at O’Leary Elementary school)

Under 9 girls team 1 & team 2 will train at 6:00 pm on Tuesday, July 8 (at Hernewood)

Under 7 boys (girls are playing with Bloomfield) will train at 4:30 pm on Thursday, July 10 (at O’Leary Elementary school)

Ellerslie:

Under 9 boys & girls teams will train on Tuesday, July 8 at 4:30 pm (at Elementary school)

Under 7 boys & girls program will train on Tuesday, July 8 at 5:30 pm (at Elementary school)

Tignish:

*** There has been a change at the community level for Tignish as they no longer have a recreation director.  Their summer students will work together with our summer students to cover off the practices but that time is going to change from what was previously planned.  For the under 9 teams in the under 9 league we still have coaches in place there so we are good to go.

For this week the Under 7 boys & girls and the Under 9 boys & girls will train at the Elementary school on Wednesday, July 9 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. 

Beginning next Wednesday (July 16), the training sessions will switch to 12:00 to 1:00 pm but will stay on Wednesday's going forward.

Extra items of importance for everyone: 

Under 7 extra training sessions - as mentioned last week, some of the communities are a little up in the air when it comes to the final set up for under 7 we are going to offer an open night at Hernewood on Wednesday nights where our summer students will offer up some optional practice sessions.  The time will be from 5:45 to 6:30 and these will start on Wednesday, July 9 - if we find that the group is turning out to be quite large then we will separate the groups and offer a second session.  There is no fee for these sessions, they are simply an add-on.

Under 7 jamboree dates - we are struggling with getting the first jamboree in.  We didn’t go with this past Saturday as a lot of programs are just getting going.  We didn’t think July 12 would be great with the CBMF festival going on and a lot of people away so we thought we would start with July 19.  I know that date is not great for Ellerslie but hopefully they will be able to make the next 2-3 that we have.  The revised dates therefore for the time being will be as follows:

July 19 at Hernewood - boys teams and girls teams both- will need to know from communities by July 17 as to who is coming and then will do up a quick schedule that evening for everyone - the games won't be starting until likely 10 am or so as there is an event going on at Hernewood early that morning.

August 7 at Hernewood - boys night

August 14 at Hernewood - girls night

August 23 at Hernewood - boys teams and girls teams both

Under 9 league schedule - please see below for the remaining schedule of Under 9 games including the rescheduled game from last Thursday that was canceled due to thunder and lightning.
