Statement of Philosophy of Waterloo Athletics

Athletics play an important part in the life of the Waterloo School District.  Young people learn a great deal from their participation in interscholastic athletics.  Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition and how to win and lose gracefully are an integral part of each team in our athletic program. Athletics plays an important part, too, in helping the individual student develop a healthy self-concept as well as healthy body.  Athletic competition adds to our school spirit and helps all students-spectators as well as participants develop pride in their school.

We believe that the opportunity for participation in a wide variety of activities is a vital part of the student’s educational experiences.  Such participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to the student body, to the community and to the student themselves.  These experiences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the student to make maximum use of his or her education.

Waterloo District student activities are considered a supplement to the school’s program of education, which strives to provide experiences that will help to develop boys and girls physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
