 Athletics Philosophy

 The purpose of athletics at ACND is to encourage as many students as possible to participate in organized physical activity.
 The purpose of the athletic department is to provide a program, which will aid the students in achieving their best.

 At ACND athletics is just one factor in the total education of the student.

 Athletics can teach many lessons not taught in the classroom.
 It is in total development of the person- moral, intellectual and physical – that athletics plays its most significant role.

 The major objective within ACND athletics is to build character in our student athletes.
 Character is built after a hard fought win. Character is built after a tough loss.

 Character is built in disciplining and rewarding on and off the playing field.
 Sacrifices must be made and patience must be exercised in the development of a young person’s character.
 This is why coaching is teaching at ACND.

 The educational forum that athletics provides for student-athletes and coaches is tremendous.
 The key is how the coach, the teacher, grasps every teaching opportunity.
 It is our belief at ACND that the process will take care of the product.

 It has been said that “play is the natural world, the natural vehicle of the child.”
 At ACND we recognize the importance that athletics plays in the role of a young person’s life, as we provide fourteen sports 

 and twenty-seven sports teams in a small school environment.
 We allow our young people to expand their world and discover their vehicles by providing the opportunity, the chance.
 At ACND the highly skilled, average, less developed student-athletes are all welcome and given an equal opportunity.
 We are concerned with each and every individual regardless of their talent.

 The chances are good that if your child participates in an Archbishop Curley – Notre Dame athletic program you can expect to

 see:
 1) improvements in self-esteem;
 2) a renewed respect for authority;
 3) willingness to cooperate with others;
 4) inclination to participate in everything wholeheartedly.
