NISC's Sports Program - Updated August 2010

Welcome to the 2010-2011 sport seasons. I am excited to be back as it is going to be a great year for the NISC sport program. Let us take a moment to reflect on our sport philosophy which is directly related to the NISC mission statement; “ Students are engaged in a balanced program which offers opportunities for social, physical, emotional, artistic, and intellectual development.’’

NISC Athletic Department Philosophy
‘’We at NISC strive to provide opportunities for our students to actively participate in a range of sporting opportunities. As coaches, we will teach the fundamentals of the game[s] and seek to give our players the necessary confidence to develop their skills. Most importantly, we will instill in our team[s] the importance of practicing good sportsmanship and teamwork while playing their hardest. Along with other schools in our MRISA conference, we embrace an approach that emphasizes participation and positive attitudes above a win-loss record’’.
I will be updating you about the practice schedule and new coaches and schedules for local and tournament games in the coming weeks.
