A Philosophy of Athletics

Introduction
The USA School District believes that each student benefits by participating in extracurricular activities. We also believe that each student's experience with these activities should be connected to learning. Learning experiences help develop character and cooperation and bring about a sense of quality in all scholastic, artistic and interscholastic endeavors. The guidelines and philosophies may differ based on the level of participation (high school, middle school, elementary school).

Philosophy Statement
USA School District's philosophy with regard to athletics is as follows:

During each season of competition sanctioned by the Michigan High School Athletic Association, the USA Schools will sponsor competitive teams, provided that the funds are expendable, facilities are amenable, and sufficient numbers of student-athletes are available.

The philosophy of athletics at USA Schools is that all athletes are considered an integral part of the school's educational program. Participation in athletics, both as a player and a spectator, is an important aspect of the total educational experience. Participation is a privilege that carries with it the responsibility of the individual, the team, the school and the community. Students are stimulated to compete at the highest levels without compromising the integrity of sportsmanship. All program participants will represent the USA School district in an honorable, competitive manner and it is the hope that these experiences will mold our athletes into positive role models for others to follow.
