The Athletics department oversees all of the campus athletic programs at the Ysleta ISD. They help arrange schedules, travel and programs that encourage kids to use both mind and body. Athletics help build self-esteem, foster pride in their schools and community and challenge students to excel.

Philosophy

The Ysleta Independent School District believes that the district athletic program should be an integral part of the total education process.

The mission of the Ysleta ISD Athletic Office is to insure and enhance the quality of life for youth by providing competitive activities. The pitting of one's skills, knowledge and talent against friendly opponents is a means of learning one's own strengths and weaknesses.

Good contests, properly supervised, give youthful competitors the opportunity to gain self-confidence, improve skills and exhibit good sportsmanship, ethical behavior and integrity. Athletic competitors learn to become good losers and graceful winners. Sports programs help the participant to develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

Athletic offerings within the district are competitive and diversified, thereby allowing students the opportunity to realize their full potential relative to growth and development. All programs are designed not only to teach athletic skills, but also to instill good character and teach sound values.

It is felt that the success of the athletic program sets the tone for the entire school year. It builds a positive self-image for the individual athlete, the team, the school, the community and the Ysleta ISD.

It is our final goal that sports activities will produce young men and women who will be able to enter the community and become constructive, contributing members of society; Citizens that will leave their mark on this world by making it a better place for future generations.

In the best of competition there are no losers.
