Athletics at Wood-Ridge are an extension of the educational process.  We take great pride in the efforts of our athletes, the leadership of our coaches and the support of our fans.  Our philosophy is to involve as many students as possible in our interscholastic athletic programs with the belief that interscholastic athletics are an integral part of the total educational program.   

Participation in our interscholastic athletic program provides unique learning opportunities and is an integral part of the School’s mission. The life lessons taught are valuable and cannot effectively be replicated in the other contexts of day-to-day life within our school community. Great emphasis is placed on the physical fitness and wellness of the students. The goal of striving for a consistent level of competitive excellence is essential.

Respectfully,

Marc Sinclair

Wood-Ridge Junior/Senior High School

Statement of Philosophy

The Wood-Ridge Public School District is committed to providing a rich co-curricular program which encourages our students to grow as individuals and experience the importance of being a part of a team.  Participation in sports encourages students to become highly motivated both on and off the field, and is an essential component needed for students to learn the value of setting and obtaining goals. Furthermore, being a student-athlete encourages the learning of key life skills which include: sportsmanship, integrity, discipline, dedication, perseverance, and responsibility. The Wood-Ridge Junior/Senior High School Athletics Program fosters a sense of team, pride, fair-play and commitment in our students.
