• To develop a positive approach to participate in a group activity. A positive approach means, however, that every contest and every activity is approached with the thought that maximum effort will result in developing the skills necessary for success in that activity.

• To develop an appreciation for individual excellence. To make a maximum contribution to the team, school, job, or profession requires the individual to deliver his or her full potential. Activities place a premium on the students being prepared to do their best.

• To teach students that participation in activities is a privilege, not a right that carries responsibility.

• To maintain a positive attitude toward academic performance in meeting eligibility standards set by the Board of Education.

• To develop and maintain good habits of safety and participation based on the established rules and regulations of the activity.

• To provide our students a series of experiences, which will promote wholesome and friendly participation, improved playing skills, good sportsmanship, new friends, and better community relationships.

• To provide for our student body a positive foundation for the development of school morale, for being sportsman-like hosts, and for exercising the qualities of fair play and courtesy.

• To represent North Royalton Middle School and their team in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
