Athletics
Participation in athletics does more than build strong bodies. It also teaches valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and integrity. Zephyrs Pride runs strong through all levels of the SMCS sports programs. We invite parents, families and the community to join us at every event to root on our student athletes!
Our Philosophy on Athletic Programs at all Levels
- To encourage cooperative play and working together
- To promote the development of good sportsmanship skills
- To develop and promote basic fundamental athletic skills
- To promote physical fitness as part of a healthy lifestyle
