PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Welcome to La Salle College Preparatory’s
Admissions Virtual Athletics Info Night!
La Salle Athletics is committed to providing a positive, challenging, competitive, and fair athletic experience
that emphasizes the Lasallian principles coupled with personal integrity, sportsmanship, wellness, and
fulfillment of the student athlete’s potential. We strive to make athletic participation an environment that
sparks a lifelong appreciation for competition, exercise, discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and the pursuit
of victory with honor. The primary goal of the athletic program is to build physical strength, self discipline,
and team spirit in an atmosphere permeated with idealism, energy, and the values proclaimed to us by
Christ. Above all, this must be evident throughout every aspect of the athletic program, and most especially
the conduct of student athletes, parents, coaches and staff.
