Athletic Philosophy

The purpose of the Tanglewood athletic program is to provide an opportunity for each student athlete to participate and share in a positive environment of spirited competition. The Tanglewood athletic staff’s goal is to instill basic values that build character, self-discipline, and self-esteem as an individual and member of a team.

 
Athletic Goals & Objectives
The goals and objectives of the Tanglewood athletic staff are to guide each student towards becoming a more effective citizen through the following learning opportunities:

  • Cooperation — Understand the concept of teamwork: self-discipline, respect for others, pride, loyalty, trust, and commitment.
  • Self-Discipline — Do what you are supposed to do, when you are supposed to do it, to the best of your ability. 
  • Sportsmanship — Accept any defeat as a true sportsman, knowing we have done our best.
  • Improvement — One must establish goals and constantly work towards achieving those goals, improving in the skills and knowledge that enhance the success of the team.
  • Success — We do not always win, but we succeed when we continually strive to do our best.  One can learn to accept defeat by striving to win with earnest dedication.
  • Fitness — Develop desirable personal health habits for a lifetime of fitness.
  • Leadership — Develop leadership skills on and off of the field.

 
All eligible 7th and 8th graders are able to participate in Tanglewood sports.  For more information about our athletics program, please download our Athletics Handbook.

SPORTS PHYSICALS DURING PE CLASS MAY 14 & 15

All students wishing to tryout or play a sport in HISD must have a physical dated after May 13 every year.  Those students who are moving on to high school are also required to get a physical every year.  This includes the marching band, flag, dance and cheerleading.  It is very important to get a physical before school starts next year.  Many students miss out on participating in a sport because of the time and effort to go to the doctor and get a physical. 


 To make this process more convenient for the parents we are offering physicals Thursday and Friday, May 14 & 15 during your son/daughter’s PE class.  The cost is $20.

Another option - available year-round - is taking your son/daughter to Next Level Urgent Care on your own time.
