Philosophy of Athletics

At GCA we understand the importance of competitive athletics. It's more than just a game.

Competition exposes and molds character to reflect the character of Christ. Tough competition in the athletic arena becomes a training ground for life in a tough competitive world.

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.

We understand the importance of teamwork. We teach that membership to a team is a privilege and carries with it great responsibility.

Through athletics we teach students to face adversity and challenges with a steady eye, a courageous spirit and reliance upon the ultimate authority - Jesus Christ.
