Athletic Philosophy

Consistent with The Out-of-Door Academy's mission and philosophy, the athletics program embraces our core values. Student-athletes strive for excellence, which requires commitment and discipline.
Teamwork, sportsmanship, and integrity are integral components of our athletic experience.

These growth opportunities prepare them for success in their athletic endeavors and in life.

List of 3 items.

  • Love

    Every student-athlete is seen as an individual and not a position. Our coaches instill in them love of the fundamentals of each sport, a desire to strengthen their individual skills, and a passion for team play. As a team, our coaching staff stresses camaraderie, the importance of each role on the team, and a desire to test their skills in a competitive environment.
  • Develop

    Student-athletes are taught the ODA performance standards and expectations in a team environment. It is stressed that the team comes first over the individual and that in order to help the team reach its full potential, the individual must have a success-oriented mindset.
  • Compete

    Through this development and passion for athletics, student-athletes are given all the tools they need to earn varsity positions and use their game management skills to help their teams succeed.
