Athletic Department Mission Statement
The athletic department at San Marino High School is committed to teaching student athletes the principals of fair play, good sportsmanship and quality citizenship. We will:
- use athletic competition to teach life skills including self-discipline, teamwork, dedication, sacrifice, perseverance, respect for self and others, and time management.
- train students to develop a lifetime commitment to physical exercise in the pursuit of healthy lifestyles.
- emphasize the importance of maintaining a proper balance between academic and co-curricular activities and support classroom teachers in the promotion of academic success for student athletes.
We believe in the value of multiple sport participation for overall athletic and competitive development. Coaches shall encourage athletes to try other sports. In season athletes will not be pressured or punished for not participating in off season programs run by other coaches.
