Athletic participation provides healthy, supervised after-school activities for students in a safe and positive environment.
Students who participate in athletics have been shown to have higher grade point averages, better attendance, lower dropout rates, fewer disciplinary problems and higher graduation rates. Participation in athletics teaches teamwork, goal setting, discipline, sportsmanship, leadership, and other valuable life-skills, helping students to be contributing members of their school and community.
