Athletic Participation Policy

Athletic participation is an integral part of Crescent life – a part to be enjoyed by all students, regardless of athletic ability. The Crescent Athletics program aims to:

Encourage our boys to realize their full potential
Provide competitive interscholastic teams based upon ability and commitment
Provide an intramural sports program for those not participating on interscholastic teams

The first point is a direct restatement of the School’s mission. Its importance as a fundamental component of athletic participation bears recognition.

The second point illustrates the desire for Crescent to provide its athletes with the opportunity to be their best. Yet athletic ability without commitment is insufficient. Teams representing Crescent School should be comprised of talented, committed athletes.

The third point allows for students who either do not make a team, want to improve their individual abilities or simply want to play, to be able to participate in a formal, extended, organized program of team sports, emphasizing fun and skill enhancement.
