There are many aspects that comprise Fultonvale School’s Athletics Philosophy. They include enjoyment of sport, player development, competition and the ‘Play like a champion today’ philosophies. These ideals are to be carried out by our coaches, staff, parents and student athletes.
As a member of EIPS, our school participates in cross country, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, badminton and track and field.
Enjoyment of Sports
Sport is meant to be fun. If an athlete, coach, or spectator is not enjoying him/herself, then what is the point in participation? We believe that our Firebird teams are to promote our students’ participation and enjoyment of the games that we play.
Player Development
One purpose of our teams is to develop our student athletes to play at high levels of competition in high school and beyond. Fultonvale School promotes individual skill development as well as team skills development. This combination will allow our athletes to move onto higher levels of play.
Competition
Fultonvale School strives to put competitive teams into action every year. Being a small school within our league, we have had many successes. We view every game as a challenge to be savored and not to be feared.
Play Like a Champion Today
Part of our philosophy is to always play like a champion. This idea should be at the forefront of any of our student athlete’s day, be it a practice, game or tournament. Even in defeat a champion finds victory and even in victory a champion is graceful and reflective of what he/she could do to improve.
