Our philosophy in the Athletic Department is to provide an opportunity for all our students to participate in sports in order to develop athletic ability, character, teamwork, sportsmanship, integrity, and respect. We promote a winning attitude within the framework of participation, sportsmanship, leadership, and other values which will remain for a lifetime. Our athletes and coaches have the responsibility to uphold ASD values at practices, games, and regional tournaments. It is important to note, too, that school athletes are “students first” therefore we will follow academic eligibility requirements.

Also, it is an ASD expectation that parents reinforce ASD standards by being role models in how they conduct themselves with referees, opposing teams, and in conversations with your child and the coach. The unrelenting support of parents is central to generating enthusiasm, energy, and good sportsmanship in our student-athletes.
