Introduction

Athletic Philosophy

The goal of athletics at John Carroll School is to lead young men and women to the realization that true growth and fulfillment are achieved in the struggle for success. The development of self-discipline and dedication, both mental and physical, and the ideal of serving others, especially one’s teammates, are the themes emphasized in the growth to maturity. It is John Carroll’s belief that athletic competition is both a tremendous source of enjoyment and recreation, as well as an excellent way to reach young people and help them prosper.

Athletic Priorities

The athletic priorities listed below are not placed in order of importance, and no area should be considered more important than any other. Circumstances and context may require variation in the emphasis placed upon particular priorities. It should be equally clear, however, that each priority should be honored in every athletic situation. John Carroll Athletics strives to:

  • Develop an appreciation of the recreational value of sports
  • Develop individual athletic talents
  • Develop responsibility in the athlete
  • Establish a winning attitude and tradition in the athlete
  • Instill an observance of school responsibilities, and an awareness that the athlete is primarily a student who is also privileged to represent the school through athletics
  • Support for the transition into intercollegiate athletics and a lifetime of physical fitness
  • Promote team awareness, and a sharing of personal concern among coaches and team members, including the important concepts of loyalty, sportsmanship, and training guidelines.

All athletes must present the Physical Form and Release Waiver to their coaches before they can participate in any sport. Go to the links on the right to access the forms for printing.
