Kapawe’no First Nation – Under Mr. Brian Thomas, the Sports Academies leads and coaches have enjoyed the development, spearheading the comprehensive sports and leadership programs at Kapawe’no Nehiyawak School and Buffalo Bay Academy. As the seasons transition, so do the athletic offerings. After a busy fall and winter featuring archery, basketball, hockey and volleyball, the spring and pre-summer schedule is now in full swing with baseball, golf, lacrosse and still off-ice hockey development with the synthinic ice.
The sports programs give students the chance to advance their academics, physical/mental skills and potentially join practice development or traveling teams. Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Sandy Laughlin and Mr. Sergiey Ivanyuk, students engage in the innovative off-ice/synthetic ice program. This initiative includes plyometric exercises and calisthenics, promoting discipline and enhancing athletic performance.
Students feel grateful for the opportunity to participate in such enriching programs, positioning them well for future success both in and out of sports. Academics and athletics is balance at KFN Collegiate schools!
