Philosophy of Athletics:
At GCA, we understand that competitive athletics provide a training ground for life in a challenging, competitive world. Participation in athletics exposes and molds students’ characters. Our athletics program takes that one step further by specifically structuring our programs to help students reflect the character of Christ.
Christian athletics teaches discipline, the importance of hard work, the setting and attaining of worthwhile goals, responding to authority, self-sacrifice, humility and composure under pressure.
In our athletic program, we teach that membership to a team is a privilege and carries with it great responsibility. Through athletics, we teach our students to face adversity and challenges with a steady eye, a courageous spirit and reliance upon the ultimate authority - Jesus Christ.
