The Athletics and Recreation Department offers an intercollegiate program that is designed to allow the more serious athlete the opportunity to participate against athletes from other colleges and post-secondary institutions. UCC is currently a member of the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association. As of September 2005, UCC will become a member of CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sports), competing in the Canada West Conference in at least two varsity sports. Intercollegiate sports for men and women include soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, and baseball (men only). If you are interested in trying out for a team, you are invited to contact any one of the Athletic staff in the gymnasium. To be eligible for team participation you must be registered in a minimum of nine credits per semester or equivalent. See the Financial Aid and Awards Guide for scholarship information.
A variety of student recreational activities are conducted throughout the academic year. All students are most welcome to participate – in fact, you are encouraged to capitalize on these activities as a way to enrich your life at UCC. The events are dates are available on the Athletics and Recreation website at www.cariboo.bc.ca/athletic/. Also watch for posters announcing the various events. If you are interested in any aspect of the recreation program, please contact the Recreation Coordinator at the gymnasium (250) 828-5271.
