We believe that athletic competition is a necessary process for the development of the student/athlete.  We believe that the purpose of athletics is to assist the student/athlete in developing playing skills, respecting coaches, teammates, and opponents, respecting rules and officials, maintaining good health and physical fitness, practicing good sportsmanship and remembering that participation is a privilege and carries responsibilities.  We also believe that the middle school athletic competitions are a learning experience for all students/athletes and that there will be a concerted effort to have all players participate and be given as much playing time as possible in each sporting event
