The Sport on the Move travel grant provides financial assistance to schools and students to offset the costs associated with travel to BCSS Provincial Championships. In order to receive Sport on the Move funds, schools must opt-in to the program each year. The opt-in window for the 2024-25 school year is October 1 to November 22, 2024. No opt-in requests will be accepted after this window.Eligible schools are those that have opted-in and either traveled 350 km or more (one way), and/or taken a ferry to travel to their respective BC School Sports Provincial Championship. While exact amounts are difficult to predict, awarded grants generally vary between $0.70-$0.85/km (one way, dependent on demand), plus additional funding if ferry travel is required or group size exceeds 5 athletes. Awarded amounts will be transferred to schools via direct deposit, approximately 6-8 weeks after seasonal championships conclude.The program is administered by viaSport British Columbia, in partnership with BC School Sports, who submits required information on behalf of member schools.To opt-in and for more information on the 2024-25 school year, please visit: https://viasportgrants.smapply.io/prog/sport_on_the_move/ (link will not be active until October 1) or contact grants@viasport.ca.MANDATORY COACHESCONCUSSION TRAINING (CATT)A friendly reminder that all coaches, managers, and assistants must complete the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT). BCSS has mandated this free training for all who work in youth sport. Access the course at cattonline.com. BCSS staff have conducted an audit of coaches that have completed the CATT training relative to coaches that have been added to rosters in STARS and noted that several coaches don’t have the required CATT certification. BCSS will be monitoring this throughout the school year and coaches that don’t have the required CATT will be deemed ineligible to coach until the training has been completed and verification sent to BCSS. AD TRAINING & RESOURCE VIDEOSBCSS offers a series of pre-recorded AD videos this year to support you in your role. These videos will cover a variety of topics. Both new and returning Athletic Directors are encouraged to watch all the videos. The videos are on our YouTube and can serve as a resource throughout the school year.
