Extracurricular activities such as football are not a
diversion but rather an extension of a good educational program. Meadows Valley students who participate in activity programs
tend to have higher grade-point averages, better attendance records, and fewer discipline problems than students generally. Meadows
Valley football programs provide valuable lessons for practical situations - teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing,
and hard work.
While involved in Meadows Valley football, students learn self-discipline, build self confidence,
and develop skills to handle competitive situations – the very same qualities observed in responsible adults and productive
citizens.
The coaches and players invite you to come to the games and cheer them on
as they represent the Meadows Valley Mountaineers on the football field this season!
