Welcome: Offerings

The
St. David's Athletic Department embraces the mission of the school as we strive
to excel in the vital areas of Faith, Virtue, and Knowledge:
Faith
We recognize St. David's School is God's school; St. David's athletic teams are
God's teams; and that all we accomplish is to His glory. We will purpose toward
success with an eternal perspective.
Virtue
We recognize we represent St. David's and, more importantly, Jesus Christ in all
athletic events and activities. We will play hard and clean, and will demonstrate
good sportsmanship.
Knowledge
We recognize that athletic accomplishments are a result of complete preparation,
playing smart and playing hard. We will train to the best of our abilities in the
off-season, learn the nuances of our game, and give our all in each and every practice
and contest.
Program and Player Development
The Varsity Coach of each sport is the "Program Director" of their sport. They are
responsible for the development of their sport program from the top to the bottom,
from the bottom to the top. The Program Director will work closely with all coaches
within their program.
Middle School and JV athletic programs provide opportunities
for student-athletes to experience various sports and evaluate whether they desire
to take their game to the next level. Individual fundamentals and strategies of
team play will be strongly emphasized. We will purpose to provide adequate playing
time for each student-athlete so they have the opportunity to develop. Try-outs
are for team placement, though facility restrictions may force cuts.
Varsity athletic programs strive to be the best they can
be. Teams playing to their full potential will be strongly emphasized. Being the
best at anything, whether it is a National Merit Scholar or a state champion in
athletics is a worthy and admirable goal of any Christian. A place on the team and
playing time are based on the following criteria: ability, attitude, aptitude and
availability.
