Athletics

Welcome to the Glen Cove City School District’s Interscholastic Athletic webpage.

Our interscholastic program is open to all students in grades 7 - 12.

The Glen Cove City School District recognizes the importance of a high-quality athletic program in the community and as an essential part of students' health and physical education.

Athletics provide a broadening experience where students develop the harmony of mind and body through striving for physical and mental excellence. We aim to offer these value-building opportunities to as many students as possible. A well-coordinated athletic program contributes greatly to the morale of our schools and our community.

Everyone involved in athletics has a unique opportunity to teach positive life skills and values. This educational experience requires highly qualified coaches who model and cultivate desire, dedication and self-discipline.These qualities support the commitment and personal sacrifice required  of student-athletes and help build integrity, pride, loyalty, and  strong character. The result is young adults who carry these values forward into their lives and communities.

It is the nature of athletic competition to strive for victory. However, the number of victories is only one criterion when determining a season’s success. Guiding the team to attain maximum potential is the ultimate goal. To this end, the coaching staff must teach student/athletes to prepare their minds and bodies in order to reach maximum potential, and then to be modest in victory and steadfast in defeat.
