Melbourne Central Catholic
MCC Athletic Program Philosophy

The Melbourne Central Catholic High School athletic program should be a dynamic integral part of the educational experience. It should promote the well-rounded development of the participants by providing meaningful learning opportunities not otherwise offered in the school classroom curriculum. It should assist in developing habits, attitudes, and ideals necessary for the ethical competition and cooperation in a changing society. It should also provide our students with life-long lessons for personal growth such as sportsmanship, teamwork, ethical behavior, perseverance, commitment, loyalty, self-discipline, pride, cooperation, responsibility, and leadership skills. It is the mission of MCC’s athletic department to provide a safe athletic environment for the student.  Therefore, the athletic department will make every effort to secure and promote the necessary education for its athletic staff and participants to ensure such safety.
