The Athletic Letter at Vancouver College is open to all inter-school sports. The letter is a very powerful symbol of commitment and excellence in a sporting activity. A Letter is awarded to student athletes in a recognized Vancouver College sport who have worked hard and achieved a level of excellence in accordance with his ability, and is worthy of reward as validated by his coach(es).

Managers: • Managers will be awarded letters based on their grade level, not on the grade level of the teams with which they are involved. • The same criteria will be used as is set out for the players.
