The purpose of interscholastic athletics is for a child to grow in his/her skills and abilities, and to have the opportunity to use those skills in compeition against other teams.

As a Lutheran Elementary School, St. John's also applies Christian attitudes in these activities. 

Colossians 3:17 tells us, "Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through him."
