Athletic Programs
Building Character Through Sports
Our Athletic Programs
At Elora Road Christian School, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports, including track and field, cross country, badminton, basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Situated on approximately 20 acres of land, our property features a baseball diamond, soccer field, sand pits, and wooded areas. We strive to encourage athletic excellence while ensuring our students develop Christ-like character, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Throughout the school year, ERCS competes with other Southern Ontario Christian Schools through CAASO (Christian Athletic Association of Southern Ontario). Go ERCS Lions!

The badminton team travelled to Kitchener on Jan. 23rd. Our students represented our school with excellence both on the court and off. They put forth a great effort on the court and it was exciting to watch each one of them. Thank you to Coach Bauman for all of your work with the team, and to our parent drivers, Erica M. and Laura F.

On Friday, September 27th, our soccer team travelled to Brantford for the CAASO soccer tournament.
Coach Bauman said, “It was a real pleasure to be with the soccer team for the day. The students represented our school with excellence both on the field and off. We had a super exciting finish to our day when we won our last game in a shoot out that gave us a 3rd place finish. I enjoyed every minute of the day with these athletes!”
Congratulations to Colton and Tobias who each received a sportsmanship award.
CAASO Track & Field
We had a great day at our track and field meet on Friday, May 10th. Thank you to all the parents and alumni who helped out! We’re proud of the sportsmanship our students displayed. They competed hard but also cheered for and encouraged their classmates.
Our team also represented us well at the CAASO track and field meet in London. Some students even set new school records. Well done, Lions!
CAASO Volleyball
On Thursday, November 21, 16 grade 5 to 8 students travelled to Burlington to compete in the CAASO volleyball tournament. Our students played well and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship. In the end, our girls placed 5th, and after a tough loss in the semi-finals, our boys ended up in 4th. Special mention goes to Hayden and Mia, who received the sportsmanship awards for their hard work and the consistent encouragement they gave their teammates.
Thanks to Candice Duimering and Cindy Westendorp, our coaches, and to Erica Martin for driving our students to the tournament. Great work, Lions!
