Our philosophy

Our philosophy for our Sports Performance class at Riverbend is to develop well rounded student-athletes through the lens of full and long-term athletic development. Our Sports Performance class believes that athletics are a metaphor for life, and through athletics we teach valuable life skills. We will continuously emphasize work ethic, mental and physical toughness, grit, gratitude, and inclusion to all of our student athletes. Our class has extremely high expectations for our students, and we hold our student athletes accountable throughout their Riverbend experience. We also believe that junior high school should be some of the most memorable and enjoyable years of a student's schooling, therefore it is also a priority for us to ensure our students have fun!
