Athletics

The Farmingdale School District understands that interscholastic athletics are a significant part of the educational process.  The combination of academics and athletics enhances the quality of students' lives and expands their options for learning and personal growth.  Athletics provide an educational opportunity in which students can learn essential life lessons beyond those that can be learned in an academic classroom.

The interscholastic competitive environment provides an opportunity for our participants to learn positive life skills, values, and ethics in a climate that demands dedication, responsibility, self-discipline, cooperation, positive work ethics, and respect for others. This program provides an opportunity for all to share their common interests,  celebrate their differences, and appreciate physical competitions as a lifelong process.

All involved in the program must show a personal commitment to the goals of the team, and make the personal sacrifices necessary in order to achieve success. Making such a commitment to excellence nurtures a sense of pride, loyalty, and leadership qualities in an athlete, enabling the individual to become more resilient and better prepared to face life’s challenges. This unique experience allows students to achieve their full potential as students, athletes, and citizens.
