Our school philosophy regarding
sports is to encourage all interested boys and girls of varying talents
and abilities to come out and participate. Team
sports are a place to learn the sport, practice the skills, accept
each other’s abilities (weaknesses and strengths), make friends
and have fun playing the sport. Therefore, we have at Assumption
School what is known as fair play (from the B.C. Amateur Sports philosophy). As
long as a player comes prepared to practice regularly, exercises
sportsmanship and respects the coach and fellow players as well as
opposing players this player is guaranteed playing time. For
example: In basketball this means every player will sit out
a quarter and every player is guaranteed a minimum of one
quarter. Fair play does not mean every
player will necessarily receive equal amount of playing time.
Players
when joining a team will be made aware of fair play and with his/her
parents can decide whether he/she wishes to participate within the
philosophy presented.
