Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School Athletic Handbook
Athletic participation encompasses more than just the physical needs of the student athletes, but also provides each child with an emotionally safe environment that challenges the individual to succeed. Understanding the ingredients of a healthy spirit and body combined with a healthy dose of sportsmanship and self-esteem are the cornerstones of the Wornick JDS program. Each child will emerge from the Wornick Physical Education and After School Sports Programs with a better understanding of who they are, and who they can be, while learning how to be a team player in society.
Wornick students are driven to accomplish through four key concepts that are the backbone of the Wornick JDS Athletic Programs.

Furthermore the Warnock JDS administration as well as the Athletic Director welcomes comments and concerns at anytime.
Being a part of the SSIL requires that Wornick JDS follows specific guidelines in order to continue our membership in the league. Families, friends, and observers at all league hosted events must remember they are there in support of the student’s. Any grievances or concerns with either school participating should be voiced to the Athletic Director at the completion of play.
Team parents are an essential part of Wornick sports. If your child is going to participate in Wornick sports you may be asked to help coordinate snacks and transportation to and from games. Parents who are unable to fulfill a driving commitment must find a replacement driver. These duties will not be coordinated by the Wornick Athletic Department, but rather will require a volunteer parent. Please be prepared to lend a hand.
