Fourth’s Athletic Philosophy
T
he Fourth School seeks to develop young men and women who excel in all areas of life, including athletics. At the middle school athletic level, our goals are wide participation, the development of basic skills, leadership, and sportsmanship. Being an athlete does not simply mean wearing a uniform and attending practices and games. Being a member of a team means committing yourself to a common goal. It means giving 100% all the time and not being satisfied with mediocrity (Colossians 3:23). Fourth athletes are a representative of their team, their school, and, more importantly, of the Lord. Therefore, we believe athletics should encourage the positive attributes of teamwork, commitment, dependability, selflessness, loyalty, good work ethics, perseverance, self-discipline, and sportsmanship.
