OVERVIEW
At Countryside, we strive to offer varied opportunities for our young students in athletics.
We provide positive feedback that will guide our students toward realizing their full potential. Win or lose, our students should learn lessons of a lasting and positive nature. As well, we believe it is our purpose to prepare the elementary school students of Countryside for participation in middle school athletics through teaching them the core fundamental skills and attitudes needed for future participation in athletics at the middle school level
