It is hoped that athletics in our school will be a positive force in preparing youth for an enriching and vital role in American Life.The athletic program is an important and integral part of the total school program and is open to participation by all students regardless of individual differences. Through voluntary participation, the athlete gives time, energy and loyalty to the program.He/she also accepts the training rules, regulations, and responsibilities which are unique to an athletic program. In order to contribute to the welfare of the group, the athlete must willingly assume these obligations, as the role demands that the individual makes sacrifices not required of others.
