Athletics at Gavilan View Middle School offer all students opportunities for fun, competition and personal development.  Our programs function as an integral part of the total curriculum and assist in the development of the Six Pillars of Character while Pursuing Victory with Honor. Successful athletic programs enhance school spirit among students, staff, and the broader community, with sporting events promoting cohesion by bringing people together. Participants in school sports are more likely to maintain an active lifestyle into adulthood and develop a lifelong passion for physical activity.

The major objective of the program is to provide wholesome opportunities for student-athletes to develop favorable habits and positive attitudes.  Participation in education based athletic programs is a PRIVILEGE that carries with it responsibilities to the school, the student body, to the community and all participants. At no time will the athletic program supercede the total educational curriculum in emphasis.

After School Sports support physical health by improving fitness, encouraging healthy habits, and developing motor skills. They also benefit mental and emotional well-being by reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and fostering resilience. Social skills and teamwork are enhanced through collaboration, forming friendships, and practicing leadership. Additionally, sports instill a strong work ethic, fairness, respect for opponents, and perseverance. Integrating athletics into the school experience provides students with a well-rounded education that supports their physical, mental, social, and academic growth.
