Department Objectives

REPRESENT

To establish and maintain a positive image of school athletics at Earl Marriott Secondary within our own population and the surrounding community. As a department we look to create committed, hard working and determined athletes that will represent what it means to be a True Mariner! The actions of a student-athlete are a reflection of themselves, their team, coaches, their school and community. Success is not measured by wins and losses, but the richness of the experiences our student-athletes are provided.

ENGAGEMENT 

To create an avenue for students to represent Earl Marriott Secondary while developing an understanding that every eligible student has the right to try out for a team, but it is a privilege to represent one’s school. Our goal is to provide the maximum number of students in both the activity and support areas for each team in all our programs. We also look to generate and foster leadership qualities, while providing challenges for individual athletes and teams.

OPPORTUNITIES

We look to guide and support the physical, mental and emotional growth of all student-athletes and athletic assistants. The coaching staff will work with these athletes through various athletic endeavours such as practice, training programs and game play as they look to acquire and develop sport-specific skills necessary for competition. All members of the department must understand and consistently demonstrate positive characteristics such as loyalty, co-operation and fair play for continued participation. Through directed leadership and supervision coaches will instill excellence, perseverance, hard work and the values of sportsmanship in creating complete Mariners. 

SCHOOL SPIRIT

The department looks to contribute to the development of school spirit through athletic competition, student-based fan support opportunities, and the celebration of sport. It is never to be forgotten that the improvement of the health, fitness and general welfare of all individuals will create the best Earl Marriott possible!
