Proposed by:
 Jennifer Greggain, Golf Professional, Chilliwack Golf & Country Club;
 Bryan, Owner, Manager, Chilliwack Golf & Country Club;
 Tom MacIsaac, Golf Coach, Sardis Secondary School
 Julie Elliott, Athletic Director, Sardis Secondary School;
 Diego Testa, Principal, Sardis Secondary School;
 Maryanne Mussell, Vice Principal, Sardis Secondary School
Proposed Introduction Date: December 2012
Strand: Fitness and Recreation Focus Area
Program Name: Sardis CGCC Golf Academy
Grade Level: 10, 11, 12
Type of Course: Board/Authority Authorized Courses
Section A: Questions to be answered prior to approval
1. What evidence is there for the need or demand for the proposed
course?
 The Chilliwack Golf and Country Club is familiar with the “draw” factor of
such programs in other constituencies in North America. We expect the
Academy to attract students from other communities, provinces, and
countries.
 Currently there is no Golf Academy at any school in School District 33 and
as a result students move to other districts.
 Chilliwack School District is likely to continue to lose students to other
school districts’ academies if no options are available within the district.
 This is a unique opportunity for secondary students, of any skill level, to
develop golf skills in grades 10 – 12, and it is open to students that are not
involved in community golf programs.
 Students at both middle and high schools, as well as internationally, have
expressed interest in an Academy at the grade 10-12 level at Sardis.
 Sardis Secondary School both values and endeavors to build strong
community partnerships, and provide relevant learning experiences that
facilitate successful transition from high school.
 Sardis Secondary School believes that programs such as this provide
choice and improves student engagement, student achievement and
graduation rates.
 Sardis Secondary School believes that this program is aligned with SSS
SD 33, and Ministry goals.

18
2. Is this course appropriate for high school level?
 Yes
 It fulfills the objective of promoting an active and healthy lifestyle and the
importance of daily physical activity.
 The learning outcomes are age appropriate for high school aged students.
 The learning outcomes are designed to improve any skill and/or fitness
level.
 This program has a component at each grade level that explores post
secondary options and requires each student to develop a personal plan
for transition to a post secondary.
 This program has an educational component that assesses learning
styles, strengths and weaknesses, and provides opportunities for
improvement and opportunities to meet academic entrance requirements
to post secondary institutions across Canada, USA, and internationally.
3. Is this course significantly different from existing courses? Explain.
 Yes.
 There is no other golf academy at the secondary school level currently
offered in the Chilliwack School District.
 The learning outcomes are created for each level of student in the course,
and therefore it is a unique program.
4. Has a sound educational rationale been developed and written for
the course?
 Yes
 The academy will foster development of the fundamental, personal
management and teamwork skills that are transferrable to life generally.
 Students will be challenged academically, physically and mentally with
practical training that has a scope and sequence.
 Qualities to be developed in students are: leadership, teamwork,
commitment, confidence, persistence, responsibility, adaptability and
integrity.
 Fundamental to Sardis Secondary School’s mission is that good schools
strive to offer engaging courses and programs that keep kids in school,
and encourage life-long learning.
5. Has a clear set of goals and learning outcomes been developed and
written?
 Yes
 It is expected that after successful completion of the program, students will
demonstrate knowledge, understanding and competence in program
objectives.
2
19




Learning outcomes are measured using both formative and summative
evaluation.
A separate set of goals and learning outcomes have been developed for
each grade level – which progress in scope and sequence.
Levels are established through early evaluation in order to identify
achievement goals as a result of being in the Academy. Each student,
regardless of skill level or fitness level, is capable of demonstrating
growth.
Goals and learning outcomes are practical and applicable to life well
beyond the high school level, and emphasize the development of
personalized post secondary plans that require ongoing adjustments
reflective of the student’s stage of skill development.
6. Is the cost commensurate with value to students? Explain.
 Yes
 The course fee of $1800.00/year (with a $200 nonrefundable
administration fee upon acceptance into program) will provide ample value
to students with a passion for golf.
 The course fee is on the lower end of the spectrum of course fees
compared to Golf Academies in other school districts and provinces.
 It is important to our Partners to keep the cost at an amount that is
affordable.
7. Can this course be offered without having adverse effect on funds
and facilities available for other courses?
 Yes
 The course is special with no overlap with school facilities and equipment.
 Significant facility and equipment needs will be fulfilled by the Chilliwack
Golf and Country Club, including equipment required for instruction.
 By utilizing expert instruction from the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club
professionals, and utilizing their facilities, program costs are minimal and
are recovered through the course fee.
8. Is the proposed course capable of being offered in other schools?
 Yes
 As with the Baseball and Hockey Academies at SSS, students from other
schools would be accepted to the Golf Academy without having to
withdraw from their school of record.
9. Are the resources available to deliver this course?
 Yes
 Jennifer Greggain, Head Golf Pro at CGCC and her staff, as well as
Bryan, Manager of the CGCC, provide the driving force and community
support behind the academy, offering instruction, facilities, equipment, and
learning resources necessary for delivery.
3
20


Community facilities exist in close proximity to Sardis Secondary School.
Sardis Secondary shares the vision with the CGCC and is committed to
the realization of the Golf Academy as a joint venture.
10. Is the proposed course capable of surviving if the originator of the
course leaves the district?
 Yes
 Golf is a well established sport and life-long activity. The existence of the
Chilliwack Golf and Country Club ensures professional coaches, as well
as facility, equipment and resources.
 The organizational structure at Sardis Secondary is designed with a team
of professionals that includes Administration and teaching staff so that the
program can continue should a member leave the school.
 A manual of program goals, objectives, roles, responsibilities etc. for the
Academy, including BAA courses, will be in place as a resource guide so
that new members of the school based Academy team will transition into
the team as seamlessly as possible.

RE:
HOCKEY ACADEMY – STRATHCONA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the Board give approval in principle to Strathcona Elementary School to become a School of
Choice as a Hockey Academy.
BACKGROUND:
A presentation will be made to the Board regarding a Hockey Academy at Strathcona Elementary
School.

What is a Hockey Canada Skills Academy?
In the context of the Hockey Canada Skills Academy (HCSA), Sport Schools or Hockey Academies
are defined as:
A hockey skill development program offered within a public or private academic institution for any
student registered, or wanting to become registered, with a minor hockey association team.
A hockey academy is an institution that allows young hockey players to take part in a training program
during school hours. The training that takes place within a hockey academy is very much in line with
the role of the school in other curriculum areas; enhance students’ opportunities to learn and excel
academically and athletically.
The Hockey Canada Skills Academy initiative is a result of the eleven recommendations that were
approved at the 1999 Molson Open Ice Summit, chaired by Wayne Gretzky, on player development in
Canada. The 10th recommendation stated that Hockey Canada should: “Promote cooperative efforts
between school boards, local hockey associations, and sponsors to better utilize ice times and school
facilities and move towards the development of sport schools”.
The concept allows local school boards the opportunity to work together with Minor Hockey
Associations and the Canadian Hockey Association to offer hockey as an academic option to any student
wishing to participate in the program.
The program’s long-term goal is to enhance a student’s confidence and self-esteem with individual
hockey skills, and to link athletics to academics, while at the same time making more efficient use of
available ice facilities during the school day hours.
The Role of the Hockey Canada Skills Academy is:




To provide additional skills training for minor hockey aged players
To supplement, not compete with, the existing programs run by Minor Hockey Associations
To provide emphasis on individual skill development and academic achievement
To create an environment for skill development which will enhance game performance
Philosophy:
Operations:
 HCSA are strictly supplementary to the existing programs run by Branch Minor Hockey
Associations (MHA)
HCSA’s operational role is to provide additional training for minor hockey aged players, male or
female, beginner or advanced, recreational or competitive, who
24





are registered and playing on their local MHA team or wanting to become registered with the
MHA and Branch in the future
HCSA are focused on individual skill development and academic achievement
HCSA may not establish or develop teams for competition
HCSA is a equity based program therefore must provide program access to students through a
scholarship, derived by the school board, school and HCSA program
HCSA are sanctioned for operation by Hockey Canada, Provincial Branch and the local School
Board
The Program:
 On and off-ice curriculum developed by hockey and fitness experts
 Coaches receive training through the National HCSA Training Program
 HCSA is part of a national vision for hockey
 Goals and activities are established with a focus on skill/tactical development, not on winning a
game
Students:
 Any male or female player registered or wanting to become registered on a Minor Hockey
Association team and attending a school with a HCSA program is eligible
 Any player regardless of skill level may register in a HCSA
 Any player regardless of family income status may register (depending on scholarship program
criteria or school policy)
 Players while enrolled in a HCSA must maintain a behavior standard as determined and
monitored by the school in order to remain in the program
Instructors:
 All HCSA instructional staff will be fully trained and accredited in the NCCP at a minimum of
Intermediate Level by Hockey Canada and its member Branches
 All HCSA instructional staff must undergo annual professional development through the HCSA
training program provided to their program
 The HCSA Head Instructor should be trained in the Hockey Canada National Coach Mentorship
Program
Curriculum Framework:
 HCSA must follow a national instructional curriculum framework as set out by Hockey Canada
 HCSA on-ice curriculum framework focuses on individual offensive skills and situational play
 HCSA off-ice curriculum framework focuses on body coordination and skill development
 HCSA instructional curriculum framework is supported by instructional skill development
guides and instructional videos as developed by Hockey Canada
Testing:
 One of the cornerstones in the curriculum is the on-ice skills tests and the off-ice fitness tests.
These tests are designed to measure individual improvement and assess a variety of teaching
methods.
25
Benefits of the Hockey Canada Skills Academy
Being a Licensed Hockey Canada Skill Academy brings with it many benefits for both the program and
players:
For the Player-Student






Increase in hockey skills training time by maximizing arena ice availability during the day hours
Enhancement of individual technical and tactical skill development
Enhancement of academic achievement through the motivation of establishing a balance of both
academics and athletics within the school system (Note: Research has indicated that there is an
increase in academic achievement for those students participating in a sport school program)
Provides better balance for the practice to game ratio problem that currently exists in minor
hockey
Would assist in equalizing the development opportunity for:
o Players born late in the year
o Late bloomers
o Late starters
o Late maturity
o Male and female player development
Receive periodic testing of their skills to ensure improvement is being made
For Hockey Canada and Member Branches



Provides a second player development delivery stream that compliments the current minor
hockey system
Provides another vehicle to recruit and train new game officials for the Canadian hockey system
Allows the Branch the opportunity to integrate Branch initiatives in conjunction with HCSA
operations
Operational Model
The HCSA operational model uses the Athlete Centered Model in sport whereas the athlete – the hockey
player, is the center of developmental attention. The hockey student’s physical, mental and social skills
developmental needs are respected by each partner organization associated with the HCSA program.
Although minimum standards of performance are expected athletically and academically (as agreed
upon by local partners), each hockey student progresses at their individual pace and ambition level. The
outcome is not to develop future professional or international caliber athletes or Rhode scholars. The
outcome is to enhance a hockey student’s confidence, individual playing skills, self-esteem and
opportunities in both academics and athletics beyond the secondary school system all while making
effective use of arena facilities during school hours.
Position Paper from the 1999 Open Ice Summit
Recommendation #10
Promote cooperative efforts between school boards, local hockey associations and sponsors, to better
utilize ice times and school facilities and move towards development of sport schools. (Arenas in
Canada sit unused most weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.)
26
Hockey Canada Position
Hockey Canada supports initiatives that combine education and hockey for players within a community
setting.
Rationale
Most of Canada’s 3,200 arenas are dormant during the day. In Europe, children go to school for half a
day and them participates in their chosen sport, or sports, for the remainder of the day. The European
model allows athletes to practice more. A concern in Canada is the practice to game ratio.
Several sports schools have surfaced in Canada but the concept is in its infancy. The establishing of
such schools should not be geared only to the elite players. The sport schools concept could solve issues
facing hockey in Canada; more appropriate use of arenas, more skill development through increased
practice and the introduction of hockey to more youngsters through the school system.
Hockey Canada Skill Academies (also known as sport schools) mandate is to enhance player
development by making better use of ice time during school hours in arenas that usually sit empty from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., while at the same time enhancing the development opportunities to existing
minor hockey teams and associations.
A qualified, paid coach/programmer is needed to oversee the hockey program at the sports schools.
27
Strathcona Elementary School Hockey Skills
Academy Program
The Hockey Skills Academy at Strathcona Elementary School will be a fully licensed
Hockey Canada Skills Academy that specializes in high performance training and elite
skill development of student athletes during school hours.
The mandate of the Hockey Canada Skills Academy at Strathcona Elementary School
will be to develop and provide student-athletes from Strathcona Elementary and other
district elementary schools with the opportunity to further understand their personal
athletic abilities while in the pursuit of academic excellence. The program focus is on
individual athletic participation and improvement rather than a philosophy of
development through a team process. Our goal is to compliment existing hockey
organizations by creating a learning environment that promotes and enhances skill
development.
Our program is:
 Designed for students (male or female) in grades 4-6, who are registered full-time
at Strathcona Elementary or another district elementary school
 Designed so that students take the Hockey Skills Program in place of their Daily
Physical Activity (DPA)
 A cooperative program conductive to both academic and athletic development
 Focused on both academic achievement and individual skill development
 Developed to maximize athletic performance through sport specific conditioning
 Supplementary to the existing programs run by the Chilliwack Minor Hockey
Association
The overriding purpose of this program is to develop personal potential and a positive
attitude for student-athletes to carry into all aspects of their lives.
The program consists of mainly on-ice sessions. On-ice sessions focus on individual skill
development rather than team tactics. The on-ice curriculum focuses on skating, stick
handling, passing, shooting, one-on-one situations, agility, and a variety of other skills.
Our instructors will be fully trained by Hockey Canada and the National Coaching
Certification Program (NCCP). They will also undergo annual training by Hockey
Canada. Furthermore, our instructors will have an extensive hockey background and
knowledge of the game.
The Strathcona Elementary Hockey Academy will have the full support from Hockey
Canada, B.C. Amateur Hockey Association, Chilliwack Minor Hockey Association and
hopefully the Chilliwack School Board.
28
The Strathcona Elementary Hockey Academy will operate from mid-September to
Spring Break. There will be approximately 50 on-ice sessions throughout the school
year. All on-ice sessions will be run out of Prospera Centre.
On-Ice Component:
This component will be based largely on the national curriculum as set out by Hockey
Canada. This will include aspects such as participation, attitude and work ethic. As well,
students will produce baseline data at the start of the program for a number of skill sets
they are required to develop throughout the year. This data will be collected and
compared throughout the year.
Participants:
There will be a maximum of 30 students in the program, which includes goalies.
Program Fees:
 Program: Mid-September to Mid-March (6 month program)
 Fees: $800 (payable in monthly installments, at the first of the month, from
September to January). See payment schedule in attached package for further
information.
 Upon Acceptance Into the Program: $200 Deposit
Program Fees Cover:
 On-ice sessions (ice time rental)
 Instructor Costs
 Hockey Canada License
 Program Equipment and Supplies
 Transportation Costs
Insurance and Liability:

Credit:
Each student will receive equivalency for Daily Physical Activity.
Please Note the Following Information:
 All students must provide their own set of full equipment
