Leadership. Character. Teamwork. Grit.
Through competing in interscholastic competition, student-athletes have opportunities to learn responsibility, express ideas and solutions to problems, and learn the value of fair play, honesty, and teamwork.
Shorecrest Chargers Athletic events build community among teams, families and fans. Campus is almost always abuzz with a practice, game, or competition for some Chargers Athletics team.

Levels of Competition
Objective: To raise the level of commitment and development through focused training, competitive drive and winning. Student–athletes at this level will have access to coaching and training resources to promote team success and optimize individual development and performance.
Impact: Athletics is a privilege, not a right. There are no game playtime guarantees for Varsity level student-athletes. Hard work, dedication and performance are key components to increase chances of individual and team success. Seize the opportunity when given the chance to perform.
Objective: To raise the level of commitment and development through focused training, competitive drive and winning. Developing and preparing student-athletes to compete at the highest athletic level is the goal of JV sports.

Impact: There is no predetermined game playtime allocation for JV level student-athletes. However, the goal of JV is to provide practice discipline and practical game experience for focused development of all players.
