Athletic competition encourages cooperation, teamwork, dedication, self-sacrifice and commitment. Playing a sport also improves physical fitness and emotional maturity. We believe that our students can gain a great deal from participation in the sports program, mentally, physically and socially. Our primary goal is to help each participating student achieve a high level of skill, an appreciation for discipline and sportsmanship and an increased level of self-esteem. While winning is certainly important, we also attempt to stress the objectives of conditioning, strategy, sportsmanship and game skills.
Teamwork helps develop self-discipline, respect for authority and a rigorous work ethic.
Also, a student will learn to place the goals and needs of their team above personal goals. Sportsmanship embodies treating the opposing team with respect and honor. Emphasis will be placed on emotional control, honesty and cooperation.
