ATHLETICS
OUR PHILOSOPHY ON ATHLETICS
Athletics, if intended to be an integral, Christ-honoring part of the Christian school, must be recognized as a means to assist in the fulfillment of the purpose and mission of the school. In education, as in all aspects of a Christian’s life, Christ is to be the goal (Colossians 1:16-18). If consecrated to Christ, athletics can be used to encourage Christian young people and their families spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
SPIRITUALLY
Galatians 4:19, Philippians 2:15, I Cor. 4:7
Athletics should be used to help Christian young people to be grateful to God for the gifts and opportunities that He has given them. Young people should be reminded that God blesses faithfulness and He expects one’s best in any endeavor.
EMOTIONALLY
Proverbs 16:32
Competition engenders emotion. Through athletics, young people, as well as coaches and spectators, have the opportunity to glorify Christ by controlling their emotions in the midst of intense, competitive situations.
PHYSICALLY
Psalms 139:14, I Timothy 4:8, I Cor. 3:16
A Christian’s service to the Lord can be maximized if appropriate attention is given to the care of one’s body. Christians have a biblical obligation to care for their body as the dwelling of the Holy Spirit. Through athletics, young people should learn physical lessons that will enable them to maintain their body for a life of service to God.
