Athletics Mission - Head-Royce-mg电子试玩app

Athletic Principles

The principles of athletics at the Head-Royce School are to offer student-athletes, through participation in competitive sports, an opportunity to experience meaningful growth, accomplishment, and success. This is accomplished through the development of sound habits of mind, heart, and hard work. This process will enable student-athletes to realize their fullest potential.

Statement Of Philosophy

Head-Royce’s athletic program strives to provide experiences that will enable our students to develop physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Through their participation in athletics, Head-Royce student-athletes will be inspired to become self-motivated, enthusiastic participants in their physical education and further develop attributes such as loyalty, integrity, responsibility, commitment, sportspersonship, teamwork, goal setting, overcoming adversity and healthy attitudes towards winning and losing, all while maintaining behavior consistent with the school’s standards and expectations. In keeping with our philosophy, the athletic program must function as an integral part of the total Head-Royce curriculum and strives to conform with and support the overall mission and objectives of the school.

Code of Sportspersonship

Athletes, coaches, parents, and spectators are expected to represent Head-Royce in a manner that is consistent with good sportspersonship and strong character. Head-Royce will not tolerate behavior that creates conflict, a toxic or unwelcoming environment at our sporting events. Disrespectful behavior by student-athletes, coaches, or spectators towards other players, officials, coaches, or other spectators violates this code is unwelcome in our athletics spaces.

A Culture of Inclusion

In fitting with the values of Head-Royce School, Head-Royce Athletics promotes acceptance and inclusion for all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender identity or sexual orientation. Hateful or exclusionary speech or action by or towards teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, parents, fans is completely unwelcome and will not be tolerated.

Athletic Department Core Values

The foundation of the Head-Royce athletics department is built on our four core values, which help to ground and guide the actions and interactions of student-athletes, coaches, administrators and parents. Our core values are:

Character

Integrity: Be honest and true to your values and those of your team and the athletics department.
Courage: Step outside of your comfort zone, knowing that sports are one place in your life where it’s okay to fail. Without the courage to reach failure, you’ll never know just how far you’re capable of going.
Gratitude: Be grateful for the opportunities you have, for the people who support you and the experiences that sport provides.
Respect: Think, speak and act with respect for yourself, your team, your coaches, for others and for your sport on and off of the field of play.
Sportspersonship: Treat everyone with honor and dignity at all times.

Effort

Growth: True growth requires discomfort. Be willing to push your growth edge, knowing that you’re going to be better for it.
Grit: Don’t give up, especially when you fail or when things get hard. It’s really hard to beat someone who never quits. Your determination in the face of adversity is what will truly set you apart.
Commitment: Prioritize team events, using your time efficiently and effectively to make sure that you’re always there for your team.
Focus: Bring all of yourself to every team event and to training. Be present in every moment.
Joy: Remember that sports are supposed to be fun. Smile and enjoy the ride.

Leadership

Communication: Use sports to practice communicating with your coaches, teammates, officials and with your friends and family.
Accountability: Take responsibility for your actions and how those actions affect others.
Discipline: Make good decisions and practice discernment on and off the field.
Selflessness: Be team-centric in your attitude and decision making. Your individual development is a top priority but learning how you fit into a team and how to be a great teammate is a critical part of the that development.
Empathy: Be aware of others and of the energy of the group and how your words and actions impact the whole.

Community

Relationships: Build healthy relationships. No other skill will help you more in your life.
Connection: Connect your actions with outcomes, your thoughts with energy, your words with feelings they inspire.
Pride: Be proud of who you are and of who we are. Understand that you represent all of us and take the responsibility seriously.
Teamwork: Understand how you fit in and do your best to focus all of your actions on team success.
Equity: We’ll do everything in our power to support our teams and athletes in fair and equitable ways.
