Sports build character, self-confidence, self-esteem, positive recognition and sportsmanship. These attributes last a lifetime. Many of our graduates continue to play a variety of sports throughout their adult life. Athletic skills learned early in life provide the foundation for applying these skills to community based athletic associations. Athletics are a very important component of the Rosseau Lake College experience. Sports programmes are mandatory and operate a minimum of five days a week. Throughout the year students have the opportunity to participate in varsity or intramural programmes.
Varsity Programme
The varsity programme offers a wide variety of sports including: soccer, field hockey, basketball, volleyball, baseball, rugby, cross country running, ultimate frisbee, and white water canoeing. Varsity athletics require a higher skill level, intensity and a keener sense of competition. Rosseau Lake College's varsity teams compete in regular league and play-off games with other independent schools. Sportsmanship, competitiveness and team play are all important elements of the varsity programme. We encourage every student to try out for a team — many discover a love for a sport that they may never have considered before. Team work and camaraderie is magical at RLC. We are proud of our victories but also celebrate the lessons learned through our challenges.
