Athletics Philosophy

Athletics are a vital aspect of the total Greenhill educational experience. The importance of a sound mind AND sound body cannot be overemphasized, nor should it be underestimated. Training the body to respond precisely, quickly, efficiently and automatically is a direct benefit derived from athletic training. Social skills such as working cooperatively, respect for others, and learning to perform under pressure are also attributable to participation in athletic competition.
 
The entire Greenhill community benefits from the contributions made by the athletics program. It is a goal of the Athletics Department that, through a diverse program of athletics, the entire student body will become better acquainted via participation in one form or another. Each student and faculty member, whether athlete, coach or spectator, has a role to fill. It is often the spectators that inspire a team to greater achievement. The support provided by the school community as a whole contributes greatly towards the success of each team and the positive experience of each player.
 
Interscholastic competition at Greenhill is geared to the size of the institution. It is our intent to compete athletically on a level with those institutions of similar enrollment and philosophy, and as much as possible, geographical proximity.
 
No attempt is made to recruit athletes for the sole purpose of exploiting their athletic talents, nor will any admissions or financial aid standards be lowered to facilitate the admission of a potential athlete.
 
Although Greenhill Athletics strives to achieve success in all interscholastic contests, it does so with the realization the VICTORY is, by and large, the overall byproduct of “doing things right”.Therefore, we do not intent to ever sacrifice doing what is right for the sake of experiencing the immediate, but temporary, gratification derived from winning a particular point, game, match or meet.
