Joel Brinkman, Athletics Director
Participating in athletics at Unionville-Sebewaing Area School District is about more than just winning games—it's about preparing students for a successful future. Our programs are designed to provide a well-rounded experience that complements classroom learning and contributes to a student's personal growth.
The Benefits of Student Athletics
- Academic Achievement: Student-athletes learn to balance their time effectively, prioritizing both their studies and their sport. The discipline and time management skills developed on the field or court directly translate to improved performance in the classroom.
- Physical and Mental Well-being: Regular physical activity is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Athletics promotes physical fitness, reduces stress, and boosts self-esteem. The team environment also teaches valuable lessons in resilience, perseverance, and handling both success and adversity.
- Building Teamwork and Leadership Skills: Our athletic programs foster a sense of community and teach students how to work together towards a common goal. They learn the importance of communication, trust, and mutual respect, which are crucial skills for any future career or personal endeavor.
- Community and School Spirit: Athletics brings the school and local community together, creating a positive atmosphere and a sense of shared pride. Student-athletes become role models, representing the values and spirit of the Unionville-Sebewaing Area School District.
We encourage all students to explore the many opportunities available in our athletics department and discover how sports can enrich their school experience.
