Athletic Philosophy

Upper School The Purpose of the upper school interscholastic athletic program at Columbus Academy is threefold:

1. To provide those students with an interest in an athletics the opportunity to use and develop their athletic talent while participating in competitive contests under the direction of qualified and dedicated coaches. Additionally, we strive to continue to develop the ideas and habits of good health, fair play, initiative, achievement and emotional control.

2. To provide for our students leadership opportunities and cooperative learning experiences which contribute to team building.

3. To provide for our student body a solid foundation for the development of good school morals, for being sportsmanlike, and for exercising the qualities of fair play and courtesy.

Middle School | The purpose of the middle school interscholastic athletic program is designed to meet the development needs of all student-athlete participants by developing skills, promoting sportsmanship and teamwork, and fostering a love of sports.

Participation is the cornerstone of middle school athletics. The school recognizes that the goal is to provide the student-athlete as much playing time as possible. Various factors are taken into account that may effect playing time-most important of these factors are the student’s commitment, attitude and effort. The school also recognizes that it is not always possible for every child to play in every game, however, participation during the course of the season is the goal.

Sportsmanship
