General Information for all Varsity Sports
All varsity players must be full time Confederation College students and are expected to maintain a passing average GPA (2.0 or higher). If any varsity player ceases to be full time, they must immediately advise their coach. Players who have not previously scored below 2.0 may continue for one semester if they score between 1.7 and 2.0 GPA. Once a player has had a probationary semester, they must achieve a score of 2.0 or higher GPA.
All varsity players are expected to contribute a small fee to a uniform which they will retain for themselves. All players are expected to attend the majority of practices and local matches. The Athletic Banquet, held annually in April, is a required attendance for all team members, not out of town for school.
When selected to a varsity team, a player is expected to travel with the team of the OCAA regional or provincial championships. When necessary arrangements to be away from class or work should be made well in advance. If issues arise with availability for travel, the athletic director will assist with resolution of those issues.
