At Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy the values of competition, commitment, team play, self-discipline, and sportsmanship are the foundations of the athletic program. In an environment that both challenges and supports skill development, students test their limits and come to appreciate a whole new level of competency and confidence. The athletic program at Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy embodies the ideals of physical fitness through exercise and conditioning; sportsmanship in both winning and losing situations; teamwork through commitment to peers and coaches; and skill improvement through drill and practice.
In general, Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy has a "no cut" policy. Any student who comes out for a team and meets the minimum standards that the coach has set for attendance becomes a member of the team. Coaches expect attendance at all scheduled practices barring unforeseen circumstances.
