Eagle Hill - Southport's Athletic Philosophy

Our Athletic program is guided by the overall philosophy of the school that self esteem, confidence, and achievement result as children extend effort and experience success. We feel that our students benefit from being physically fit and having the opportunity to participate in team sports in a fun, non-threatening environment that will increase their willingness to take risks. While we play to win, competition is downplayed; skills, sportsmanship, and enjoyment are emphasized.

In short, our athletic activities complement and enhance the academic program and help students stay fit, while developing sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-confidence.

About Our Program

The athletic program offers boys and girls the same patience and understanding on the playing field they receive in the classroom. Our classroom teachers are our coaches because they have a thorough knowledge of each child's abilities and personality. They give the time, attention, and explicit instructions needed to develop each child's talents.

Students are offered a well-rounded program of individual and team sports that encourage physical and social growth. Along with the seasonal intramural program, Eagle Hill-Southport competes with area independent schools in soccer, cross country, basketball, and baseball. These games offer the students an opportunity to participate actively in sports, gaining skills in an atmosphere that fosters a sense of achievement. The games are viewed as learning experiences in which competition is a secondary concern. The athletic program is designed to reinforce the structure and success oriented aspects of the academic day, emphasizing organizational skills, responsibility, and cooperation along with specific skills and strategies.
