ABOUT
BISHOP'S (Recruitment Information)
Bishop's. The good old days were marked by massive participation in
team sports such as cricket and football. Annual matches were held by the
rugby-football team against the Old Boys as early as 1873. The College
team also competed with local teams from Sherbrooke and Stanstead.
There
were also recreational activities such as boating on the St. Francis and
the Massawippi rivers, tennis, the game of five (similar to handball) and
skating.
Today, Bishop's University offers a diversified athletic program. It is divided into three
categories, offering levels of competition and instruction to meet a
variety of individual interests and needs.
- Interuniversity Athletics
. Bishop's is a member of the Quebec Student Sports Federation,
competing in football, men's and women's basketball, women's soccer,
men's and women's rugby and men's
golf. There is also a club lacrosse team which plays a
league schedule versus team in Ontario, Quebec as well as exhibitions
against teams from
the Eastern United States, and a club women's hockey team that plays
an exhibition schedule against area opposition and American club teams.
- Intramural Sports
provide another level of competition in men's, women's and
co-educational leagues as well as individual sports. These sports
include badminton, ball hockey, basketball, broomball, cross-country
running, touch football, golf, ice hockey, water polo, soccer,
softball, squash, tennis, and volleyball.
- Recreational Instructional
Programme offers an array of non-competitive, life-enhancing
instructional activities such as aerobics, yoga, and martial arts. Two
separate brochures provide details about the Fall, Winter and Spring
programmes; these are available at the beginning of each session.
Facilities
The John H. Price Sports
and Recreation Centre houses a double gymnasium for basketball, volleyball
and badminton, with a capacity for 1 200 spectators; a six-lane, 25 metre
pool complete with diving boards and platform; squash courts, and
facilities for gymnastics, combatives, aerobics, fitness, weight training
and indoor jogging. The complex provides the opportunity for sport and
recreational experience to all members of the university community and
plays a vital role in fulfilling the concept of total education at
Bishop's. Other campus facilities include Coulter Field, a 2200-seat
football stadium; the W.B. Scott Memorial Rink; 10 outdoor tennis courts
including six lighted play areas, one of the finest Sports Medicine
facilities in the country, a meticulously groomed 9-hole golf course, and
a number of playing and practice fields.
Come see what a big
difference a small university can make!
