SPOTSWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY 

The Spotswood School District Athletic Department considers athletics to be an important extension of the academic day. The Spotswood Athletic Philosophy is to promote a winning mindset among all athletes. The coaching staff is responsible for teaching the values of accountability, citizenship, sportsmanship, tolerance, leadership, persistence, responsibility, sacrifice, self-discipline, and teamwork. Coaches will enthusiastically motivate athletes to develop the skills necessary for excellent achievement in sport. The primary focus of Spotswood athletics is to cultivate the overall development of the student in the classroom and on the playing field. The coaches will check students’ academic progress during the season and offseason, enhance athletic skills, sharpen their competitive edge, and prepare each student for success at the next level of play. Students will be placed in competitive situations, such as practices, scrimmages, and games, to strive for excellence. All coaches will take a leadership role in their respective sport for the district.
