PHILOSOPHY
We believe that we can pursue, strive and achieve our higher calling in Christ through athletics. We believe that exercising the fruits of the Spirit through sports participation will enable us to not only grow in our personal walk with Jesus, but also to build each other up in the body of Christ as well as be a light to share the good news of the gift of salvation.
PHYSICALS
So that we are in accordance with PIAA rules, all participating athletes in any program will be required to have a current physical prior to the first day of practice or participation. While only one physical will be necessary in the event you will participate in two or more sports, this physical shall not be performed prior to July.
