Athlete Services

Training Facilities

The Physical Education Complex at Lethbridge College is one of the leading facilities in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. The complex includes the Val Matteotti Gymnasium, boasting three full-size courts and theatre-style seating for 1,100.

A 370-square-metre fitness facility is operated by professional staff to support the physical development of student athletes through fitness testing and personalized sport-specific programming. A multi-purpose exercise studio provides a variety of specialized classes.

Two team rooms, including large individual lockers, are connected to the main locker rooms with access to a steam room.

An athletic therapist is available throughout the week to mend aches and pains.

An on-campus soccer training field is coupled with the competition field across the street. Cross-country runners can head out the back door to access a tremendous variety of training trails. The Kodiaks have an excellent relationship with Paradise Canyon Golf Resort, one of Alberta’s finest courses.

Academic Support

We want you, as a student athlete, to excel in your academic program. At Lethbridge College, that’s an attainable goal. Numerous supportive college staff are available to help you develop effective time-management skills and balance priorities. They will help you choose the most suitable academic program and support you all the way, from your initial interest in Lethbridge College to your graduation ceremony.

Kodiaks Athletics provides a regular study-hall program to assist student athletes with those classes that seem a little more challenging than the rest, including specialized tutoring and regular support from the Learning Café staff in the centrally located library. Your academic success is our first priority.

Scholarships

Lethbridge College offers hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial awards every year. Growing financial support for students is a high priority here.

As a student athlete, you may be eligible for an entry award based on your athletic and academic ability. Retaining these types of awards is based on you maintaining a 2.0 passing grade point average.

Alberta residents are eligible for the Jimmie Condon Scholarship, a province-wide, post-secondary student athlete award. At Lethbridge College, all our sports, except golf, include this award, which is provided in two installments of $900.

Kodiaks teams also provide additional scholarships through the college’s Financial Assistance and Awards Office; amounts vary based on athletic and academic performance.
