ATHLETICS AT CHAMBERS ACADEMY 



CA has had tremendous success in athletics for many years and its success can be attributed to a dedicated and experienced staff and coaches, skilled and motivated student athletes and encouraging and supportive parents. The athletic program is an integral part of the educational process. Competitive athletics emphasizes the importance of scholastic achievement and the development of sportsmanship, health and fair play in the participants and spectators. 

Participation in athletic teams involves an important commitment for practices and games. Each sport is a specialized form of learning experience and entails numerous responsibilities. Students that try out for any sport should be aware of these responsibilities and willing to assume them.

All qualified students may try out for membership on sports team. Unfortunately, not everyone that tries out can be accepted. The decision of the coach, in conjunction with the athletic director, is final. Ordinarily, the administration will not intervene in non-selection decisions. Parents are encouraged to help their children understand that not everyone is selected. 

DEPARTMENTAL PHILOSOPHY

The goal of the Athletic Department is to provide the best opportunities for student athletes to excel in teamwork, sportsmanship, self-discipline, and character. In addition to developing skill in a sport, the purpose is to provide each participant with experiences that will be positive and memorable and that help develop the capacity for commitment to a cause, acceptance of responsibility and loyalty toward any chosen endeavor.
