​FAQ​

• Who can apply? Do I need to be an elite athlete?

​​Anyone that has a passion for leadership, sport, fitness, and recreation is encouraged to apply!  This can take many forms: athletes, sports journalists, sports photographers, event planners/co-ordinators, coaches, managers, and trainers are all examples of pathways to explore within the RSP program.

 

Elite athletes are always welcome, but are not the main focus of our program. The main focus of our program is sport leadership.

• Can I take French immersion and RSP at the same time?

Yes you can!  Guidance will make your timetable suit your educational needs.
