Athletics Handbook

Athletics Vision and Philisophy 

Athletics at Vimy Ridge Academy is an important part of the overall educational experience and is designed to complement, not replace, academic achievement. The school recognizes that academics are the primary focus, and participation in interscholastic sports is considered a privilege rather than a right. Student-athletes are expected to meet the standards established for all athletic teams, and failure to do so may result in the loss of that privilege.

The goal of the VRA Athletics program is to promote a positive and meaningful experience through competitive team and individual sports. The program strives to develop commitment, skill, sportsmanship, leadership, cooperation, participation, enjoyment, and a healthy appreciation for competition.

At the junior level, the emphasis is on maximizing participation, building fundamental individual and team skills, and providing student-athletes with a positive and rewarding athletic experience while maintaining a competitive environment.
