Small Schools Athletic Federation

 

The Small School Athletic Federation was developed to provide small schools and/or independent schools with a definite avenue for, but not limited by, the expression of physical talents. Our purpose is multi-fold. We want to provide girls and boys with the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities at a higher level of skill than generally found in the intramural program. The Federation of small schools also encourages students to participate in activities in a climate of fair play and sportsmanship.

 

The pursuit of physical excellence is encouraged but is not the ultimate objective. The organization aspires to instil in its athletes those qualities which enable them to lead socially able and physically fit lives outside of the educational environment. Participation reinforces qualities of courtesy, sportsmanship and self-respect. It is the SSAF’s desire to instil an appreciation of and a realistic appraisal of the concepts of success and failure.

 

The SSAF combines satisfying interpersonal relationships with competition and offer a positive social environment in which one may pursue friendship and social responsibility.  In short, sport is a medium through which one acknowledges the many capacities of the individual, and reinforces these experiences which will bolster the rewards and satisfaction of total participation in each given school.
