Athletics
We want a dynamic athletic program that is distinctive in its commitment to honor Christ. We desire to follow Him wholeheartedly as we participate in this program, realizing that every game is an opportunity to encourage a brother or sister in Christ or reach out to the lost (I Corinthians 4:7).
We are committed to 3 parts of our student athletes.
The Person
Athletics is a tool to grow the person. Athletics does not take top priority over the person. Therefore, the school and coaching staff are committed to using sports as a way to grow each student athlete in their own personal lives.
The Student
Athletics is secondary to academics. We hold our student athletes to high standards of eligibility. Therefore, if a student athlete has an F or below a C average, they will be considered ineligible to participate in athletics for 3 weeks. We will be checking each athlete’s eligibility status periodically.
The Athlete
Athletics is a gift from God. Therefore, we want our athletes to excel in the realm of competition and to reach their full potential on the field/court. Our coaches are committed to developing our athletes in their particular roles and role on the team.

Our Athletic Values
Competition
Athletics displays a unique experience unlike any other extracurricular activity. We value character building at our school. Our response to competition will reveal our character allowing opportunity for continued growth. Competition brings out the best and worst of us as humans. Here at Calvary, competition is another way we can encourage our student athletes to be more like Jesus Christ.
Commitment
The first step to growing a program and growing in a program is saying yes. When we say yes, we are saying, “I am committed to this program”. Our coaches expect athletes at every practice and every game. We don’t want to simply exist. We want to make a statement that we are committed to giving our best performance every day and growing a program that competes for championships.
Competitors
We love our competitors. We encourage our athletes to only talk positively about our competitors. We respect them, congratulate them, help them up, give them credit, and we give them our best effort. We strive to view our competitors as Christ views them. In competition, rivalries are exposed between schools and between individuals. However, our coaches are committed to responding in love to our opponents no matter their response to us.
Coaches
Our coaches are hired according to these values:
They love Jesus with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength
They have experience and are willing to learn more about coaching
They are dedicated to encouraging our athletes to take their next step of faith in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
They are honest and caring about our student’s academic performance.
They are expected to do everything they can to improve each player’s ability in their specific sport.
