Activities / Athletics

 

It is important to note that a student's participation will be affected by school attendance. If a participant is absent from school on a game day, he/she will not be permitted to play that game. If overall attendance is poor, the school reserves the right to review the student's participation.

Coaches, with administrative consultation, reserve the right to remove players from their teams at any time during the season.

Philosophy of E.C.I. Athletics

The overall philosophy for all athletes at Erickson Collegiate Institute is to provide each student an opportunity to play extra curricular sports at a competitive level in Rolling River Athletics and in Zone 7 athletics. The Rolling River Athletic Association (see RRAA handbook) governs ECI athletes.

E.C.I. offers students many sports teams with a variety of different skills.  The coaches at E.C.I. feel that maximum participation should be stressed at all levels of sport.  Every student is given equal opportunity to compete for any position on an extra-curricular team.

At the junior high level, there are often more positions available for athletes, because at this level participation is very important.  Also, athletes at this age are still in the development stage, and it is important to encourage sport participation because it may take time for them to develop as an athlete.

At the varsity level, participation is important, but it is also important to be competitive.  At the varsity level, all athletes have an opportunity to try out for the limited number of positions on the team.  This gives our top athletes the opportunity to excel to a higher level.

Athletic Fees:  Members of the school teams will be assessed athletic fees for the various sports.  These fees will be used to help offset the costs of running those teams (eg. tournaments, registration/transportation and uniforms).

Golf – Green fees                    Curling - $15.00             
Track & Field - $10.00 - $20

Commitment Policy;
When students commit to taking part in a school sponsored activity they are expected to fulfill any obligations that pertain to that activity, (ie. practises, trips, performances).  Failure to fulfill those obligations could result in having to appear before E.C.I.'s Commitment Board, (administrator, coach/supervisor, student council representative) to face possible disciplinary action.
