The purpose of elementary sports is for students to develop an appreciation and enjoyment of the sport. Priorities at this level are to encourage participation and to build basic individual and team skills. Every student-athlete will be given equal opportunity to play minutes that will impact the game. Everyone should get an equal amount of participation time. The goal is to get as many elementary students involved as possible. Encouraging participation and building basic skills will strengthen the athletic program in the future.
Elementary athletics are run through the Metro Christian League. 3rd grade and up compete in a pool of 18 schools (not all schools participate in all sports) and run for approximately two months. 1st-2nd grade athletics are run with just 4 of those same schools and run for 4 weeks each.
The following are sports that we intend to offer our elementary students:

3rd-5th Soccer
5th – 6th Volleyball

5th/6th Girls Basketball

The purpose of Middle School athletics is for student-athletes to continue to develop enjoyment of the sport and improve basic individual and team skills. Every athlete should get the opportunity to play with minutes that will impact the game. However, playing time will not be equal. Student-athletes should be introduced to the concept that each player has a specific role on the team. The emphasis at this level should shift toward developing the most competitive team possible.

The purpose of high school sports is for student-athletes to compete in the sport by playing at a competitive yet enjoyable high level of competition. Student-Athletes should be pushed to attain the highest level possible with their God-given abilities. Varsity level players are expected to have a solid grasp of the fundamentals mentally, emotionally and physically. Coaches are encouraged to develop excellent skills related to their sport, and increase their physical condition necessary to compete appropriately at the varsity level. The concept of teamwork and playing a specific role on a team is highlighted at this level. Playing time decisions for each player at the varsity level are with the coach’s discretion. Playing time is not guaranteed and each student-athlete should understand that God has gifted everyone in different ways. A student-athlete’s goal should be to become the best competitor they can be with those abilities that God has given them within the coach’s oversight.
