The Oneonta Athletics Department recognizes that school sports experiences can contribute greatly to the values and ethics of each athlete. Positive sports experiences teach important life skills, encourage teamwork, shape character and citizenship, encourage an active lifestyle and often contribute to success academically. We are dedicated to making a positive sports program accessible to every eligible student in our community. Experiences for students in our community are intended to complement and add to the learning they are experiencing in their academic programs. We will help parents and community members to understand the importance of contributing to the experience for everyone involved in our athletics.
