PHILOSOPHY

Our approach to athletics is based upon the Bible, which is foundational to the total philosophy of our school. We are seeking to develop athletes who are under the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit in every phase of their lives. (I Thessalonians 5:23) This approach develops a singleness of mind and stability as they approach life. (James 1:6-8)


GOALS

1. The total release of self – mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually – with the thought that Jesus is the only "fan in the stands.” 2. Our goal is to win through the giving of 100% effort both in the game and on the practice field in preparation for the game (Col. 3:17, 23). The goal of athletics at Cascade is not and will not become "win at all costs." The world's connotation of "win at all costs" implies adapting special rules just for the athletes, having a double standard of grades, teaching players to cheat or violate the rules, or in some way circumvent the system 'just to win." This is not Cascade Christian policies. We are not to base our value and worth on being "number one" or anything else the world thinks, important. Rather, we base our value and worth on being the man/woman God wants us to be and to serve Jesus Christ totally on and off the athletic field. If a player or team has given a 100% effort in preparation and in performance, then he or she can walk away a "winner" even if the score registers a defeat. 3. Sportsmanship is stressed at all times. We try to win every game, but losses are taken in stride. We try to profit from each loss by the elimination of our mistakes in planning and practicing for the next game. 4. Research indicates that students involved in extra and co-curricular activities have a greater chance of success during adulthood and achieve higher academic success. Many of the character traits required to be a successful participant are exactly those that will promote a successful life after high school. We hope the information provided within this pamphlet makes both your student's and your experience with the CCHS athletic program less stressful and more enjoyable.

CHARACTER QUALITIES

Some of the character qualities we want all of our athletes to have are listed below. These are scripturally based. We encourage you to work on them through prayer and practice. 1. Dependability: Be at all practices and contests unless excused by your coach. Do what is expected of you in all situations. 2. Punctuality: Be on time to class, practices, games and meetings. Never be late! 3. Commitment: As a member of a team you have made a season-long commitment to dedicate your time and effort toward that sport. 4. Self-Control: Make good decisions regarding your words and actions. "Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles." Proverbs 21:23 5. Obedience: Obey your coach and all authority, for God has put them over you for a reason. "Do all things without murmurings and disputing." Philippians 2:14 6. Intensity: Give everything you have at all times, focusing your total attention upon the job at hand and putting forth your every effort to complete it perfectly. Col. 3:23 7. Endurance: You must be able to withstand stress, hard work and the problems that all Christian athletes experience. Phil. 4:13,14 8. Humility: Portray the attitude that God is the one responsible for your abilities, talents and success. I Peter
