The Region One Athletic Fund recognizes that a complete education involves not only academic studies but the development of a healthy strong physical body along with the accompanying values of sportsmanship, team playing, endurance, ambition, discipline and fair play that athletics has to offer. The Fund has been formed for the purpose of enhancing and enriching the physical and athletic experiences of the students in all the schools that comprise the Region One School District.
The Fund will support a variety of programs including (but not limited to) special coaching, summer training/camp programs, special movement classes to improve performance, master classes, coach training, equipment/uniform purchase, or even facility improvement.
