OUR PHILOSPHY ABOUT ATHLETICS AT OUR LADY
The sports program is vital to the development of our children, both spiritually and physically. Athletic abilities in all shapes and sizes are gifts from God. It is our mission to cultivate those gifts in a nurturing and supportive environment. To teach our athletes good sportsmanship, teamwork, and fundamentals of the sports they participate in. As they progress, we want to offer them opportunities to rise to the next level in both ability and variety of competition, to move on to high school or competitive teams. Most importantly we want them to grow closer to God and develop a passion for sharing their gifts with others.
Each month athletes will incorporate a virtue into their practice sessions. A list of virtues can be found under the Parent Information tab on the athletic website home page.
Sports Preamble
We believe that:
Sport has the power to celebrate our common humanity, regardless of faith, race, culture, beliefs, gender and ability.
Sport can bring us together - to learn to compete as friends, to respect and trust one another even in opposition.
Sport as the power to teach positive values and enrich lives. Everyone one of us, who plays, organizes and supports sport, has the opportunity to be transformed by it and to transform others.
Sport challenges us to stretch ourselves further than we thought possible.
Sport can be distorted if we lose sight of the sheer joy it brings us.
While we strive for excellence in sport, it is more important to aim for excellence as human begins.
