At Cistercian, Athletics’s role is to serve The School’s mission. Physical Education and Athletics form an essential part of the Cistercian curriculum. Each student is encouraged to perform on the level of his capability within the framework of the teams and in the pursuit of a common goal. In this manner, our boys come to understand teamwork and sportsmanship.
Through our coaching staff, players are inspired by a love for the game and a desire to win. Our staff teaches that it is better to lose than to win unfairly. We continuously strive to exemplify the mission of our school and the athletics department.
We demand our players to live clean and play hard out of respect and love for the game. Our athletes win without boasting and lose without excuses. We never quit! Because we take pride in representing Cistercian, we always compete fairly and with respect for our opponents, fans, and officials.
