ATHLETIC PROGRAM— Our athletic program is an extension of the overall school ministry at St. John’s. The aim of our athletic programs is to facilitate the goals of St. John’s Sauers Lutheran School through sports activities. Our mission is to promote the growth of our students spiritually and academically. In partnership with home, school, and church, we strive to develop disciples of Jesus Christ. One of the major goals of the athletic program is to help students learn to apply Christian principles to their lives. We want to teach students how to deal with success, as well as frustration and failure, understanding teamwork, and maintaining a proper Christian attitude in sports and in daily life. The athletic program strives to develop fundamental physical skills, physical conditioning, commitment to team concepts, self-discipline, setting priorities, the encouragement of others, perseverance, and earning a position on the team and playing time. — — ATHLETIC PROGRAM GOALS— At St. John’s Sauers, we aspire … ¤ To teach our athletes to be thankful for their God-given talents. ¤ That all of life is worship, including athletics. ¤ To practice Christian love among students, parents, and coaches. ¤ To provide Christian discipline when a problem arises. ¤ To develop character traits such as responsibility, leadership, sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-control. -- ¤ To stimulate school spirit and pride without compromising respect toward others. -- ¤ To develop fundamental skills and knowledge of the rules of respective sports. -- ¤ To prepare our athletes for high school level athletics. |
