External Sports Credit

EXTERNAL SPORT CREDITS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

INFORMATION SHEET - BADMINTON

Badminton BC is pleased to announce that the External Sport Credits Program for high school students has been extended for the 2008-2009 season.  The External Sport Credentials Program (ESCP) gives students the opportunity to earn graduation credits for approved levels of competition as an athlete, coach and/or official.

• Athlete (10, 11, 12)
• Coach (11, 12)
• Official (10, 11, 12)

 The Ministry of Education is responsible for the External Credentials program and the Sport Credits Portion of this program is administered and monitored by the Sport and Recreation Branch of the Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport.

• Students do not have to be in a specific grade to receive that grade’s credit.  For example, a grade 10 student who is competing on a provincial team going to a national championship will receive credit for Athlete 12.   Likewise, a grade 11 student who competed in the BC Games while he/she was in grade seven will receive credit for Athlete 10.
• Students who have participated in approved programs before they reach grade 10 can receive credit for their past participation by obtaining written documentation to verify their participation.
• Once a student has received credit for a particular level within the athlete, official or coach categories, he or she cannot receive additional credits for duplicate participation.

• Check to see if your course/program is approved to receive credit in the External Sport Credentials Program.
• Obtain written documentation from Badminton BC or Badminton Canada of your participation in the eligible sport program.
• Provide the documentation to your school counselor.
