Greetings:

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Northside Athletics website. The Northside Athletics program has a rich tradition, which has produced a long line of outstanding student athletes. These students have gone on to excel -- not just in college or professional sports -- but also in government, in education, in industry, and in their communities.

Here at Northside, we recognize the value of athletics in the growth and development of our young people. Extracurricular activities like sports offer many benefits to students, such as the development of leadership and the value of good sportsmanship. They also encourage physical fitness and healthy living habits that can last a lifetime. Sports and other extracurricular activities and events also teach young people how to work together toward a common goal, and can enrich a student's educational experience with happy memories and life-long friendships.

Northside offers a wide variety of athletic programs, including football, basketball, track and field, baseball, volleyball, soccer, water polo, swimming, softball, tennis and golf. We hope you will come out to see and support student athletes. If you click on the Athletic Events link to the left, you will find that there is probably a game happening near you. Come out and support student athletics!

Sincerely,

George Short
Executive Director of Athletics
