Athletics for Elementary & Middle School
Special classes are essential to building a well rounded, confident student. Our specials are included daily in our students curriculum with Foreign Language – Spanish, Physical Education, Music and Drama education, and Technology both in the classroom enhancement and a computer lab where students are trained on life skills that they need today and for their future.
These specials are not just “fluff” added to the students day, but they are bright spots in the students day and add to their personal growth and well being. Engagement from the student means the joy of being at school is increased and their academic success and personal health is stronger.
Physical Education / Athletics
Students need recess and physical education classes, so from Transitional Kindergarten thru the Eighth grade all students participate in physical education twice a week. The elementary students also have recess built into their daily schedules.
During the first half of our physical education class the students will complete a series of calisthenics to get them warmed up and increase their heart rate. While doing so we teach them important fundamentals of movement such as balance, flexibility, and coordination. For the remainder of the class we will learn and play a wide range of sports or games. These will include soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, capture the flag, dodgeball, and many more. These sports will not only be fun but teach them about teamwork, sportsmanship, and competition. The overall goal of the program is to increase our students’ health by incorporating fun ways to exercise.

The Junior Varsity level (fifth and sixth grades) is considered a learning level. Athletes will learn the rules and fundamentals of the game and be able to practice those skills. It is our goal to allow every child to play while maintaining a competitive spirit.
The Varsity level (primarily seventh & eighth grades) is a competitive level. At this level the athletes will learn the more advanced rules and strategies of the game. Some athletes will have more playing time than others based on skill and circumstances.
Middle School Athletes are encouraged to participate in FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) to further develop leadership potential and sportsmanship.
