R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

 

We believe that sports, as part of God’s world, is very important. He created us as physical beings that are able to move, recreate and compete.  Sports can teach us many lessons. It can teach us respect, determination, conviction but it can also teach us how to cheat, disrespect others and authority as well as a host of other negative characteristics.  In an effort to be proactive at CCTC we choose to be deliberate with our approach to teaching not only the sport but also instilling positive, life-long convictions by encouraging our athletes and parents to incorporate positive characteristics in all aspects of their lives. The following is our core value and its practical application that our athletes will learn as expected behaviors within the CCTC Track & Field Club.

 

The “Respect the Game” initiative speaks to the heart of sportsmanship.  There are no fancy strategies or lofty exhortations.  There are no official pronouncements or haughty platitudes.  The message is simple and direct. Let all of our actions be guided by respect. To achieve that goal, everyone is targeted in a way that relates to their individual circumstances yet collectively achieves this common goal.
