Scarsdale High School

Athletics at Scarsdale High School is an integral part of the school’s educational program. Interscholastic and intramural competition provides students with physical, mental, and emotional experiences that benefit not only the individual but also the school and the total community.

OBJECTIVES OF THE INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC PROGRAM:

1. To develop and maintain the highest level of sportsmanship.

2. To develop proper attitudes toward winning and losing, success and failure.

3. To encourage and develop respect for fellow athletes whether they are teammates, members of other Scarsdale teams, or members of opposing teams.

4. To ensure that the amount of time required for athletic participation does not interfere with academic success.

5. To develop proper attitudes toward individual health habits, appearance on and off the field, and citizenship in and out of school.

6. To encourage competition not only for tangible rewards but also for the development of positive attitudes that make athletic competition valuable and worthwhile. 

7. To orient all athletic staff members to abide by the rules, regulations, and officials’ decisions that govern each sport.

8. To maintain the highest standard of ethics, recognize each participant as an individual who will conduct themselves in a manner befitting their responsibilities, and develop the kind of rapport with the broader school community that will improve the total educational program.
