JACK BOERSMA JUNIOR ATHLETE AWARD

Introduction

​

The British Columbia Christian Secondary School Athletic Association is pleased to inform our participating schools of the Jack Boersma Junior Athlete Award. There are a number of schools in our association that do not offer high school programs. This means that there are students who will never be eligible for the Luke Van Harmelen scholarship because they will be finishing their schooling in a public school. For this reason we would like to recognize the achievements of Junior athletes.

 

​

General

​

Two or three Jack Boersma Junior Athlete Awards will be given to students who best combine the qualifications set out in our guidelines. The winners of this award will be eligible to receive up to $250.00 toward a sports camp of their choice.

 

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for this award, a student must be a registered grade 10 student at a Christian Senior Secondary School within our association.

​

  1. athletic ability and performance
