Athletics: Where Values Matter More Than The Outcome
Springdale Athletics
At Springdale, the objective of athletics is not just to emerge victorious, but to recognize and instill the many core values developed through participation.
Students build character and develop confidence through competition on the court, track and field. This in turn, leads to discipline, mental resilience, and leadership skills.
Our coaches are every bit as concerned with cultivating teamwork and sportsmanship as they are with the final score. And students love to come out to cheer on their classmates and roommates, building a strong sense of community.
Members of Springdale’s athletics teams are held to a high standard on and off the playing field. Student-athletes sign a creed outlining a code of conduct that embraces a philosophy of competition and behavioral expectations for all of them.
Athletics for all students revolve around interests and provide social and athletic choices and experiences. Currently, our students participate in basketball, track, tennis, equestrian, and cheer teams. And Springdale Lions have the chance to represent the school in athletic competitions.
We encourage all our students to participate on sports teams, whether they have played a sport for years or wish to learn a new one. Our student-athletes learn new skills while developing teamwork and companionship with fellow student-athletes. Participation in sports encourages increased levels of physical fitness and promotes well-rounded individual growth.
Our Athletics Program
The athletics department makes safety their number-one priority. During every home and away game, a licensed athletic trainer is present to care for athletes during competition. In the event of an injury, the administrator on the field will communicate with medical professionals and contact parents appropriately.
If an injury occurs, our medical professionals will follow the correct protocols outlined by our athletic director and director of medical services. We consider all injuries to be serious and take every precaution ensure the safety and health of our student athletes. Coaches train in CPR and first aid, and always have medical equipment and first aid kits on hand during practices and competition.
We do not permit an injured player to return to practice or competition unless written permission is granted by the treating physician.
