Why is there a multi-sport requirement?
Athletics are about far more than winning. Being a member of a team is an integral part of your Canterbury education, giving you the opportunity to learn lessons that cannot be taught so powerfully in any other setting—lessons in character, discipline, accountability, friendship, and teamwork. Your athletic experience develops a self-reliance that will serve you well for many years after your last Saints season.
