Besides back to school, fall also means sports. (Ask any football fan!)\u00a0 Depending on the school size, some of our campuses have tackle football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, cheer, flag football and even a chess team \u2013 mental athletics count, too!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our schools have sports partly because so many kids love them. But aside from keeping students fit and channeling their energy, competitive sports teach skills we all need: The discipline to practice even when you don\u2019t feel like it, working as a team, winning graciously and losing gracefully. As we know from every sports movie, our six pillars of character can be found every day on any sports field in America.<\/p>\n

Not all schools can sustain their teams, and we at Liberty Saddleback couldn\u2019t do it without you! Resources matter, but simple support counts, too. Just being there at the games means so much to your child and to the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
