We believe that all athletic personnel should strive to teach the basic principle of an attitude toward leadership, competitiveness, fair play, self-discipline and the responsibility for adult living.

We further believe that a pursuit of these personal and group goals are vital to the perpetuation of a healthy democratic society.
