100 SPORT SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND GROWING...

As of January 2010 there were 100 academies being offered in 56 secondary schools around British Columbia. These programs offer specialized sport training, flexibile school schedules, course credits for time spent training and/or competing (i.e. PD, Athlete 11/12, Strength and Conditioning and other regionally developed programs for sport), and support for both development and high performance athletes. Participants in these sport schools include:

  • Colten Teubert - playing with the LA Kings (NHL)\
  • Katie Soderberg - playing softball at the University of Wisconsin
  • Christie Jensen - playing hockey at Providence on an NCAA scholarship
  • Andres McIntyre - Member of the 2009 FINA World Championships team
  • Sarah Mehain - Member of the 2009 IPC World Championships team

These programs ensure that the next wave of Canadian National team athletes do not have to choose between their education and their sport and can thrive in both environments.
