ALL ABOUT VANIER ATHLETICS Vanier College sponsors a wide range of intercollegiate teams that provide high calibre competition for skilled athletes. The Cheetahs represent Vanier College in the following nine varsity sports:
Our professional coaching staff for all teams ensures that athletes benefit from sound training techniques, services and facilities. Through a demanding schedule of practices, league play, exhibition games and tournaments, our athletes will be provided with many opportunities to develop and improve their skills. Mixed volleyball is being offered to our students who would like to play more competitively than intramurals but without the commitment that it takes to participate on an intercollegiate team. The team will participate in a fourteen college league that sees them competing in day-long tournaments about every third Sunday. |
AAA Men's Basketball Athletic Council is composed of representatives selected from each of our eight (8) intercollegiate teams. These representatives meet on a regular basis to communicate and liaise with other team representatives and with the Athletics Department, to devise fundraising activities, to plan special events such as the annual Athletics Awards Banquet, and to discuss athletic policies and procedures. In order for our intercollegiate teams to compete in league play and in tournaments we depend upon the fund raising efforts of all of our athletes. In all fund raising endeavours, we try to minimize the time and energy required by athletes so as not to unduly interfere with their athletic and academic commitments.
The Annual Banquet Event, hosted by the Athletics Department, honours those athletes, coaches and teams deserving of special recognition. It's also a fun time for athletes to celebrate one more time with their team mates. The banquet ticket is being sponsored by the Vanier College Student Association. This program strives to improve the academic performance of our first year student athletes. Academic Coaches will meet with athletes on an individual and/or small group basis to help them more successfully make the transition from high school to CEGEP. At Vanier we believe that sports and academic success are a winning combination! Get more info in G134. Also, we invite you to see photos from our latest annual Athletics Awards Banquet from 2009-2010.
The Academic Achievement award, presented on an annual basis, recognizes all student athletes who have achieved an academic average of 80% or more in one or more semesters.
