SCA's Athletics Program
SCA's "total athletics" program develops not just the physical, but also the mental, emotional and spiritual strength that students need to excel on and off the field.
Training for godliness.
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Tim 4:8

HEALTHY SCHOOLS
Every March at the Elementary Campus, the students celebrate “Healthy Schools”, with lots of activity and emphasis on being active and eating healthy foods! The month involves activity challenges and eating certain foods on themed days! For example, one day a week might be themed, “wear yellow, eat yellow”! The students LOVE these events, and our community’s amazing school spirit always shines through.
Portrait of an SCA Athlete
COACHABLE
Able to take feedback and incorporates it into their training and performance.
COMPOSED
Wins or loses with grace; not blaming others for their loss nor taunting others when they win; knows when to walk away.
INTEGROUS
Has integrity to do the right thing, even when no one is watching; they represent SCA and Christ wherever they go.
COMMITTED
Shows up on time to every practice and game, is ready to play and give it their all.
RESPONSIBLE
A student-athlete who maintains good standing, is punctual, communicates with parents and coaches, takes are of their jersey, and respects game equipment.
HUMBLE
Celebrates their achievements when they reach a goal, but refrains from being overbearing or arrogant.
GRACIOUS
Understands that referees, scorekeepers, coaches, teammates, and they, themselves may make errors; learns from their mistakes rather then dwell on them.
COMPETITIVE
Has passion and drive to compete and win; when down, does not give up.
PERSISTENT
Keeps working every day to achieve the best version of themself; works persistently and with purpose to achieve results.
TEAM PLAYER
One who thinks not only of their own individual achievements, but of the success of the entire team.
Work and train hard for your sport to not only win the prize, but to glorify God.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating in the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
