The goal of our sports program is to encourage participation in sports by our student’s
athletes. Our volunteer coaches work to develop and/or increase the student’s skill level
so that those who choose to do so are prepared to enter a sports program at
the next level. We also teach the responsibilities of competition, cooperation and
sportsmanship throughout all of our sports programs.
