Gryphon Athletics
Welcome to Union Day Gryphons Athletics
Union Day believes that many of the lessons learned in co-curricular activities are some of the most important lessons in life. When thoughtfully taught, students learn lessons in dependability, teamwork, motivation, and discipline to name a few. Some of the country's most successful people have benefitted from participating in co-curricular activities. This athletic department believes in using co-curricular activities to educate the whole child to enhance and supplement their classroom education. It is our mission to work alongside our coaches to create an athletic department that the community will be proud of and our students will greatly benefit from. The most successful student-athletes participate in multiple activities. By doing so, students increase the ability to work with a diverse group of people, develop into a well-rounded athlete, and drastically decrease overuse injuries. Our athletic administration, staff, and coaches are committed to providing a challenging, strong and cohesive environment where our student-athletes can reach their academic, athletic and personal potential. Our coaches will challenge our athletes to be the best version of themselves on and off the field or court.
Our coaches are dedicated to encouraging students to engage in as many activities as possible. It is the goal of the athletic department and coaches to make decisions that ultimately benefit the students we serve. We will always put the needs of students first and help in their development and growth. The athletics department will also serve our coaches in many ways including professional development, mentoring, and encouragement. By doing so, our coaches will be inspired to grow and develop their own vision within the mission of the athletic department. The success of the department and each sport will always be measured by the growth and development of our students above the wins and losses.
We expect our coaches, athletes and spectators to conduct themselves in a manner that shows respect and sportsmanship when we interact with opposing teams, coaches, fans and contest officials.
Feel free to reach out to the Athletics Department with any questions or concerns. Our Athletic Director can be reached at ethan.blacharski@uniondayschool.com.
