(PSAL)

Athletics play an important part in the total education of our youth. Its importance lies in the fact that it goes beyond the scope of athletic competition. The main purpose of our sports program is to help the students:

• develop social skills and teamwork
• athletic ability and physical fitness
• confidence in themselves as individuals
• self-esteem
• exhibit behavior that would identify them as Christian athletes
• provide them with a lifelong leisure activity

At this level of play the emphasis is on learning the skills of the game, rules and enjoyment. Only a small number of our students will play in competitive sports on the secondary and collegiate levels. Our best athletes also need to develop their talents and abilities and have a good foundation in the basics.

Our program offers boys and girls in grades 5-8 volleyball, basketball, flag football and track & field (if there is sufficient interest). The program is further broken down into JV and Varsity as well as Division I and II.
