Philosophy of Interscholastic Athletics at NCCHS
The interscholastic athletic program of NCCHS strives to develop each student academically, physically, emotionally, socially, morally and creatively. NCCHS believes that participation in interscholastic athletics is an integral part of the development of young men and women and provides a wholesome physical outlet to complement a rigorous academic schedule.
Participation on a team promotes desirable attitudes towards teamwork and team unity, social growth and maturation, and preparation for young people to meet the responsibilities of adult life. Every interested student has an opportunity to become involved in the athletic program as a player, manager, statistician, video recorder or student athletic assistant.
Interscholastic sports are an effective method for teaching and practicing responsibility, self-reliance and leadership. It is the school’s philosophy that coaches, participants and parents should strive to develop and display attitudes of good sportsmanship, good citizenship and loyalty to teams and the school.
We believe that winning and losing are important only when considered in the context of how we play the game and how we represent ourselves and our school under the pressure of competition.
