Athletic Philosophy
The goal of athletics at The Prout School is to lead young men and women to the realization that true growth and fulfillment are achieved in the struggle for success. The development of self-discipline and dedication, both mental and physical, and the ideal of serving others, especially one’s teammates, are the themes emphasized in the growth to maturity. It is The Prout School’s belief that athletic competition is both a tremendous source of enjoyment and recreation, as well as an excellent way to reach young people and help them prosper.
The Prout School’s athletic program aims to:
- Promote self-discipline and responsibility;
- Teach the value of sustained effort;
- Develop teamwork, good sportsmanship, and competitive spirit;
- Build school pride and unity;
- Establish a winning attitude and tradition in the athlete; and
- Teach the lifelong benefits of sports and fitness for physical and mental well-being.
