We celebrate every win on the court and field, and we cheer (loudly) for our athletes during every championship. We also recognize athletics is about more than winning trophies. It’s about developing skills for life—strengthening mental and physical health, learning to work with a team, playing fairly and respectfully, and doing your best in every circumstance. In keeping with research as well as our own athletic philosophy, we encourage participation in multiple sports and extracurricular activities.
