Athletic Eligibility

Successful Athletic Programs

A successful athletic program considers the athlete first...even above winning! A successful athletic program is one that allows the athletes to compete at their level of competence. In the program, students will be held accountable for attendance and develop responsibility towards teamwork. Winning is not the only thing in a successful program. Developing character, leadership skills and social skills as well as developing psychologically and physiologically is also important.
