Philosophy
The Athletic Program at Our Lady of Lourdes provides the opportunity for every child who attends the school or belongs to the parish community to participate in team sports. The program promotes self-esteem and respect for others through competition in a Christian manner, with the emphasis on good sportsmanship.
Objectives
Developing knowledge of sports and acquiring the associated athletic skills are the primary objectives of the athletic program at Our Lady of Lourdes. Another important objective is the development of a positive self-image and sense of teamwork for every participant. Winning is inherent to competition, and being part of a successful program is important, but winning cannot be the primary objective. There is, however, an obligation to take the game seriously, and for all children to be taught to play to the best of their ability.
