GISS ​ATHLETICS
HOME OF THE SCORPIONS
Sponsorship
The athletics program at GISS plays an essential role in providing meaningful educational experiences for our students. Participation on our teams as a student-athlete provides a great opportunity for personal growth. At GISS, we provide a wide variety of sport teams to meet students’ interests and needs, and these are an important part of the secondary school experience. Our teams provide opportunities for students to make new friends, develop leadership and communication skills, promote a strong work ethic, positive character traits and academic achievement.
Due to our unique location, Gulf Islands Secondary athletes incur high costs in order to participate in athletics. In past years, some team fees have been as high as $500 for a single season. On top of team fees, ferries for our Athletics program cost upwards of $7000 a year. As an association we are hoping for your financial support to reduce the barriers to participation for our athletes. With your support we hope that all students have the opportunity to become student-athletes.
Gulf Islands Athletics has a long history of graduating students that receive sports scholarships and National Athletics Opportunities. With your support, we will be able to provide more opportunities to students through training, tournaments, and events.
