Letter From Coach Woodard

The SCY High School Athletic Program is committed to excellence in academics and athletics. We are dedicated to Pursuing Victory With Honor, to adhering to the rules of competition and sportsmanship, and to displaying the Six Pillars of Character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship) on and off the playing field.

As teacher-coaches and student-athletes we understand that participation in the athletic program is a privilege. We gladly accept our responsibility to be role models, to exercise self-discipline, and to be hardworking, prepared, persevering, empathetic, courageous, fair, and self-sacrificing team players. We will give our best effort in all that we do for ourselves, our team, and our community. We will lose with grace, win with honor, and strive through both to bring pride and respect to our school, our community, our sport, our teammates, our adversaries, & ourselves.

Athletic competition is an integral part of the high school experience. Athletics are uniquely positioned to foster student growth in values and ethics. The ideals of “Pursuing Victory with Honor,” provide the opportunity to dramatically influence the actions of student-athletes. SCY High School strives to strengthen the integrity of students and adults in our community by promoting the concepts of sportsmanship and quality academics. These priorities advance the highest principles of character—trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship.

Purpose of High School Athletics

The purpose of athletics is to contribute to the overall educational experience of the balanced and total student. Concepts learned through athletics include teamwork, integrity, sportsmanship, restraint, persistence, leadership, self-esteem, discipline, and humility. Team leadership is provided through captains, and coaches dedicated to youth. Student-athletes will be expected to adhere to the following code of behavior:

Athletes strive to:

• At all times represent their school in a positive manner.
• Be on time, be enthusiastic, dependable, loyal, and cooperative.
• Be responsible and open to coaching.
• Be a team player.
• Abide by the general rules of discipline as established for you by the CIF, CIFSDS, and SCY High School.

Athletes will always:

• Place academics first.
• Strive to improve.
• Be positive.
• Support their teammates.
• Attend tutorial and seek education assistance when required.
• Demonstrate respect for teachers, coaches, and fellow athletes at all times.
• Maturely accept constructive criticism.
• Take responsibility

I would like to thank all parents for their continued support and attendance at all of our games. We take pride in establishing a sense of family and community in the sports program.

GO SCY HAWKS!

Sincerely,

Ryan Woodard, Athletic Director
