ATHLETIC COMPETITION Clause Samples

ATHLETIC COMPETITION. The Board of Education recognizes the value of a program of athletic competition for both boys and girls as an integral part of the total school experience. Game activities and practice sessions provide opportunities to learn the values of competition and good sportsmanship. Programs of athletic competition, both intrascholastic and interscholastic, offer students the opportunity to exercise and test their athletic abilities in a context greater and more varied than that offered by the class, school, or district alone and an opportunity for career and educational development. For purposes of this policy, the program of athletic competition includes all activities relating to competitive sports contests, games or events for sports exhibitions involving individual students of this district when such events occur within or between separate schools within this district or with any schools outside this district.
