Jaguars Athletic Philosophy

 

Athletics plays an important part in the life of Central City Value High School. Young people learn a great deal from participation in interscholastic athletics. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition, and how to win and lose gracefully are integral parts of the athletic program. Athletic participation also plays an important part in helping students develop a healthy self-concept, as well as a healthy body. Athletic competition also improves school spirit and helps students develop pride in Central City. Most importantly, it is a privilege to participate in athletics at Central City.

The opportunity for participation in a wide variety of student-selected activities is a vital part of a student’s educational experiences.  Such participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to other students, to the community, and to the athletes themselves. These experiences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the student to achieve maximum benefit from their education.

The major objective of the athletic program is to provide wholesome opportunities for students to develop positive leadership habits and attitudes of social and group interaction.

Coaching leadership is of the highest quality at Central City and provides athletes with the examples of exemplary behavior. Measurement of leadership success is not in terms of the tangible evidence of victories and defeats. Character, courage, commitment, and integrity are the major objectives of the Central City Athletic Program.

The athletic program at Central City is supplemental to the academic program which strives to provide experiences that will help to develop the students physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Participation in athletics at Central City seeks to instill the following Five Values: 

  1. Academic Excellence
  2. Realizing Potential
  3. Individual Respect
  4. Community Values
  5. Service to Others

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the Central City Athletic Department determine the levels of competition and regulations.  Central City proudly supports the CIF’s  Sportsmanship Program: “Character Counts – Pursuing Victory with Honor”.  Central City Student/Athletes and coaches are expected to abide by the six pillars of character:  Caring, Good Citizenship, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility, and Trustworthiness.
