Our values

 The rules have been developed and modified for a reason. Rules keep the game fair, and they also keep athletes safe. Don’t try to work against the rules or bend them; respect the role they play in your sport. 

 Steel sharpens steel and the best get better by competing against the best opponents. We should value our strongest opponents for their contribution to pushing us to be the best and we should respect them enough to do the same for them.  

 Officials are doing the best they can to enforce the rules and maintain a safe environment for competition. Most of them are volunteering their time so that you can compete. They deserve our gratitude and thanks. They are people too, doing the best they can, and there is never an excuse for disrespecting officials. 

 Make your teammates proud by doing the best you can (on and off the track) and by supporting them in all their efforts. If the team is to succeed, I must bring my best every day. If I am to succeed, my teammates must push me to be my best every day.  

 Finally, and most importantly, you have to respect yourself in order to uphold an honorable approach to sports. Set high standards and live up to them. How you behave during practice and competition is a reflection of who you are as a person. Be proud of the way you compete.
