Student athletes and families choosing to represent the Trailblazers Community will be expected to uphold the high standards which will become the Trailblazers Athletic Program culture.
We will create this by:
HOLDING HIGH EXPECTATIONS
All members of a Discovery Charter School team will represent the school in ways that positively reinforce our community values. Competing to be their best in practice, in the classroom and as a member of our community, will be the expectation for all involved in the Trailblazers Athletic Program.
REINFORCING ACADEMIC LEARNING
Participation in athletics not only strengthens physical, mental, and social skills but has a positive affect on students’ classroom performance. Our student-athletes will commit to reaching the highest level of academic standards—as will all Discovery Charter School students.
BUILDING STRONG CHARACTER
As we help students to develop physically as athletes, we also teach them healthy habits of character—this includes pride, respect, humility, and self-discipline. Being a member of the Discovery Charter School Athletic Program is a privilege. Our players’ behaviors and attitudes will show respect for their school, teachers, parents, coaches, opponents, officials, and themselves at all times.
Sportsmanship is one of the goals Discovery Charter School values as part of the athletic program.
What does Sportsmanship look like at Discovery Charter School?
*Demonstrate humility in victory and defeat by showing respect to teammates, opponents and officials.
*Show maximum effort through fair play, honesty and within the rules of the game or activity no matter the score.
*Strive to make others better through positivity and recognizes the problems that positive sportsmanship solves.
Parents, guardians, students and other fans can assist our athletes by honoring and modeling the rules of good sportsmanship. Parents, guardians and coaches are expected to be role models for their players. This means their sportsmanship will always be exemplary.
PRACTICE
All practices should be respected the same as a classroom environment. Our students advance by putting forth their best effort through athletic experiences and continued learning based off those experiences. Prior to each season, players and parents will receive a practice schedule according to each sport. Regular and punctual attendance is expected by all team members, as each member is equally important to the success of the Trailblazers Athletic Program.
