ATHLETIC RESOURCES

Banner with multiple sports

The goal of The Academy Athletics Department is to be a leader of interscholastic athletics and to be an extension of the overall educational experience. We emphasize the importance of discipline, class, professionalism, sportsmanship, and effort in the belief that this will contribute to a framework for lifelong success.

The athletics programs are intended to be an educational experience.

Participants are taught how to work hard and experience the satisfaction that goes with giving their best in whatever they do. The Athletic Department at The Academy will emphasize the importance of discipline, class, professionalism, sportsmanship, and effort. Team concept will be taught and practiced. A sense of community will be fostered throughout this process, allowing students to respect and support one another.

Our philosophy is to allow students a chance to develop athletic skills while providing a competitive climate at the same time. We want our students to show outstanding character while participating in athletics. Coaches, players, and parents should be exemplary role models for others. Athletic programs should also promote positive school spirit and provide an additional source of self-esteem for our students.
