Athletic Programs

One important value of sports is the realization that life is reflected in the athletic endeavor. Success is facilitated by:

1) being well-prepared.
2) maintaining a positive attitude.
3) developing a dedication to a cause.
4) establishing high standards of conduct and attitude. Athletics prepare our young people for the challenges of adult life.

A great tradition for excellence in athletics is not built overnight. It takes the hard work of many people over a period of time. To participate in such a way that honor and respect come to our athletes, our schools, and our communities is a tradition at FCPS. As a member of an interscholastic team, a student has responsibilities. The role of contributing to our athletic tradition will be a source of satisfaction to the students and to the schools.

FCPS is a member of the Virginia High School League (www.vhsl.org) and the Northern Region. Individual student eligibility for League programs is governed by the Virginia High School League, the Northern Region Council and FCPS.
