At Beachwood, participation in our athletic program is not only a fun and rewarding experience but also a privilege and a valuable educational experience. The impact of sports on an individual  can have a monumental and lasting impact upon a student athlete, and with that in mind, students, faculty, and parents approach the game with the following high standards and moral values in mind: sportsmanship, hard work, leadership, individuality and community, learning with passion and rigor, tradition and innovation, and diversity. These ideals reflect the goals of the Beachwood Athletic Department and are applied specifically to the athletic teams and programs, as it serves as another arena in which students learn to improve themselves. Here, just as in the classroom, student athletes achieve one success after another.

 BEACHWOOD ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

 “To create an environment focused on pride, unity and victory, where student-athletes demonstrate a strong social conscience.” The Beachwood Athletic Department considers athletics an integral part of education and believes that participation in sports develops and instills the qualities of pride, unity and victory; while developing the student athlete to live their life with strong social conscience. It is our goal to give our student athletes the tools and skills to achieve this mission. Being a part of a team not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but provides multiple opportunities for skill enhancement, competition, collaboration, and cooperation. We also believe that physical fitness, discipline and success can help promote academic success, and we expect that our athletes take pride in their performance in the classroom as well as on the field. While we strive to build competitive, winning teams, our primary mission is to promote the value of school spirit and fair play.

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT SPORTSMANSHIP

Beachwood City Schools, in conjunction with the Chagrin Valley Conference, expects all of its students, athletes, coaches, and spectators to behave in a sportsmanlike manner at all contests. The guidelines mandate that spectators must remain in designated areas, must not use obscene cheers or offensive actions, must not throw objects onto the playing surface and must not exhibit violent behavior or make threats of violence to others. Parents and students must understand that any violation of these guidelines may result in removal from the game, disciplinary consequences, and/or conceivably in an egregious circumstance, legal prosecution. Every member of the Beachwood community must treat opponents with respect; respect the judgment of officials; abide by the rules of the contest; display no behavior that could incite fans; cooperate with officials, coaches, and fellow participants to conduct a fair contest; and accept seriously the responsibility and privilege of representing Beachwood by behaving positively and appropriately at all times. Opposing teams and the supporters must be treated hospitably as our guests at Beachwood. Spectators should only cheer for their team and not against the opponent, and should not interact negatively with the other team or its fans. If provoked by opponents or their fans, members of the Beachwood community should walk away and communicate the problem in the most appropriate manner possible to the Athletics Director or Administrator on duty.
