Athletic Department Philosophy and Objectives
The Athletic Department at Southeastern Community College is an integral part of the educational process. Accordingly, it is meant to provide learning and growth experiences for those students who participate. Our goal is to help develop the habits, attitudes and ideas necessary for ethical competition and cooperation in our society. Athletic participation at SCC should also provide students with unique opportunities for self-discipline, self-sacrifice, commitment, and loyalty to the community, the college, and the team.
The major purposes of the athletic programs are to encourage healthy rivalries between teams and the institutions they represent, friendships among the participants, the development of exceptional playing skills and sportsmanship, and improved community relations.
The SCC athletic department recognizes that the College is an integral part of the regional society, and has a major responsibility to help support the social development of the area. The athletic programs at SCC embrace the College objectives of providing for intellectual and social growth through the development of the individual student abilities, attitudes, values, interests, and knowledge. Furthermore, in accordance with College objectives, the athletic department strives to provide a community service that encompasses educational and general interest activities.
Finally, it is recognized that the athletic programs at Southeastern Community College provide a focal point toward which the interests and enthusiasms of the student body, faculty and staff, and the community at large are often directed. The life of the school is frequently affected by the success or failure of its athletic representatives. School spirit and loyalty on the part of the non-participating college community develop as a by-product of intercollegiate athletics.
