The benefits of well-managed high school athletics:
1. Sports teams serve as the front porch and brand of the school. They are the reason for a school mascot, school song, and pep rallies. Sports create tradition.
2. Athletics serve as the largest and most successful at-risk program for a school. Playing sports provides purpose, discipline, motivation, and structure for those who may not get it at home. Sports requires successful academic performance to be eligible.
3. The local community connects with the school district through sports. Athletes are discussed and celebrated in the local newspaper, on the radio, and on the news.
4. Fundraising: Booster clubs raise money providing everything from meals and uniforms to facility enhancements and travel expenses.
5. The student experience for non-athletes is enhanced because of athletics. The student body comes together to cheer and support their school enhancing school unity and togetherness. The band, cheerleaders, dance team, choir, and others have increased opportunities and a platform to showcase their talents on game days.
6. Sports creates and enhances tradition. Alumni come back for homecoming games and more to support and feel connected with their past. This valuable engagement enhances school support and creates fundraising opportunities.
7. Sports teach accountability to athletes. Playing requires successful academic performance to be eligible.
8. Athletics is the reason for a school mascot, school song & pep rallies.
