Although COVID-19 has created one of the largest challenges for school sport in recent memory, and restrictions are still in place, BCSS is planning that school sports will come back for the 2021-2022 school year.
Attached you will find a package outlining the available school-based championships, as well as opportunities to participate on a championship host committee for a number of BCSS centralized championships. If you are an AD/administrator at a BCSS member school and are interested in hosting a provincial championship, please complete the Declaration of Interest to Host a BCSS Championship form which can be found on the last page of the attachment and email the completed form to info@bcschoolsports.ca. Once your form is received a staff member will contact you as the AD to discuss the championship in detail.
If you are interested in chairing/sitting on a championship host committee for a centralized championship or know somebody who is, please email info@bcschoolsports.ca and we will be happy to discuss the position and responsibilities.
