Athletic
Department Mission Statement
The
Elgin Academy Athletic Department’s mission is to provide maximum
challenge and maximum support for each of its student athletes and teams
in order to be competitive in interscholastic sports. This is achieved
through:
1. Developing the knowledge, skills,
attitudes (respect, sportsmanship, competitive spirit,
self-discipline, passion, leadership), and teamwork (cooperation,
trust, friendship) necessary for the students to have a positive
experience, to achieve their fullest potential, to strive for success,
to be confident about their place in the world, and proudly represent
Elgin Academy on the athletic field.
2. Stressing a proactive partnership of
coaches, faculty, parents, and students.
3. Being an integral part of the
educational program stressing honesty, respect, fairness, and accepting of
diversity.
Sportsmanship
| Condition Considerations
Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is a very important issue that needs to
be addressed. Many of us participate in, or are spectators of, sports at many
different levels. I would like to remind both adults and
student-athletes of the elements of good sportsmanship.
Each person has a role to play in sports. Each of us should do our parts and
let others do theirs. The following is adapted
from the Ethics Code of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Parents
-
Remember that the adults associated with sport are the first people
to model sportsmanship by our actions.
-
Remember that your child is involved in organized sports for their
enjoyment not yours.
-
Focus on your child's efforts and performance rather than the
overall outcome of the event.
-
Teach your child that an honest effort is as important as a victory.
Never ridicule your child for losing a game.
-
Remember that people learn best by example. Applaud good plays by
both teams.
-
Raise disagreements with officials or coaches through proper
channels rather than questioning judgment and honesty in public.
-
Demonstrate appropriate social behavior at games by not using foul
language, harassing players, coaches or umpires.
Players
- Participate in
practices and games with full commitment and enthusiasm.
-
Know, respect, and play by the rules.
-
Respect yourself, your teammates, coaches, officials, and opponents.
-
Never argue with an official.
-
Control your temper and language.
-
Avoid
the "winning-at-all-costs" mentality.
-
Be a
good sport by cheering good plays by both teams.
-
Refuse to take unfair advantage of rules and other people.
-
Treat all players as you would like to be treated.
"In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from
second place. But winning takes a lot more that that, too. It starts with
complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination,
discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love,
fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if
you don’t win, how can you lose?"
- Jesse Owens, US Olympic Runner
Condition Considerations
Due to weather, late arrivals, traffic conditions and unforeseen events,
games may not go as scheduled or have to be cancelled. I apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause to all those involved in the sport, and I ask for
your patience in dealing with the things we cannot control.
