NJIC Sportsmanship message

Mission Statement:

Athletics at Saddle Brook High School are an extension of the educational process.  We take great pride in the efforts of our athletes, the leadership of our coaches and the support of our fans.  Our philosophy is to involve as many student-athletes as possible in our interscholastic athletic programs with the belief that sports are an integral part of the total educational program.  Participation in athletics helps to advance the physical, emotional, social and moral growth of the student-athletes.  As the students become involved, we will attempt to ensure their experiences are among the most rewarding and positive that they have during their high school years while helping to prepare them for challenges beyond Saddle Brook High School.

Philosophy of the Athletic Administrator:

A beneficial athletic program is one that provides student-athletes the opportunity to experience personal growth and development, both physically and mentally.  Athletic programs should allow athletes the chance to accept personal responsibility for success and failure, and to recognize the limitations and strengths of both.  It is important for everyone, including staff, students and parents, to realize that participation in an athletic program is not the right of all students.  It is a privilege that is afforded to those individuals who possess the ability, attitude, disposition, cooperative spirit and desire to represent their school and community.  Athletic programs require higher standards and expectations in the area of academics, citizenship, training, rules and sportsmanship.
