Activities and Athletics

Numerous clubs exist at Early College Academy. Student clubs require the supervision of an ECA staff member. Student clubs require at least ten interested members before requesting a staff supervisor. Club membership leads to the development of life long skills and impactful experiences. Through planning club activities students will develop their competencies in teamwork, volunteering, event planning, culture building, etc. Additionally students will meet others in school with similar interests and create lasting memories.

Students benefit from opportunities to grow physically and intellectually through their experience in self-discipline and their contribution to team efforts made possible from competitive interscholastic sports activities. The interscholastic athletic program of this district shall be considered as an extracurricular part of the total school program. The Board shall strive to achieve equity and variety with regard to the district’s athletic programs. It is the Board’s desire to engage as many students as possible in athletics and to offer programs that appeal to the district’s diverse student population. All interscholastic sports and clubs and participants must follow Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) policies and procedures. 

Early College Academy students are encouraged to contact their boundary District 6 high school for more information about participating in any of the three athletic seasons. ECA students who participate in athletics must meet eligibility requirements as determined by the sponsoring high school.

All students participating in grades 6-12 competitive athletics must have an annual physical examination, completed by a licensed medical doctor, at the student's expense or as provided by the Weld County Medical Society. Participation in athletics shall be contingent upon authorization from the examining physician. Before any student will be permitted to participate in any school sports activities, they must show proof of insurance. This insurance must be purchased or a waiver must be presented that absolves the school district of any liability for accidents. A student insurance program may be provided by the school district.
