Athletics

OUR PRAYERS AND EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR ATHLETES who genuinely have a love for God, a conviction to represent Him on the field/court, a teachable and humble attitude, and a selfless team-before-me approach.

COACHES who love their athletes; who prepare well for them and plan for their continuing improvement; who respect and speak well of peers, parents, staff, and administration; and who are Christ like in character and humility before parents, opposing coaches, officials, and athletes.

PARENTS who support and pray for all the coaches, who respect a coach’s decisions even if they don’t agree, who are more concerned about their athlete’s character and Christ likeness on and off the field/court than his playing time, and who give their valuable time to serve God in any way they can without concern for which sport or students will benefit most by their serving.

We want a dynamic athletic program that is distinctive in its commitment to honor Christ. We desire to follow Him wholeheartedly as we participate in this program, realizing that every game is an opportunity to encourage a brother or sister in Christ or reach out to the lost (I Corinthians 4:7).

Competition

Athletics displays a unique experience unlike any other extracurricular activity. We value character building at Calvary Baptist School. Our response to competition will reveal our character allowing opportunity for continued growth. Competition brings out the best and worst of us as humans. Here at Calvary, competition is another way we can encourage our student athletes to be more like Jesus Christ.

Commitment

Calvary Baptist Athletics values commitment. The first step to growing a program and growing in a program is saying yes. When we say yes, we are saying, “I am committed to this program”. Our coaches expect athletes at every practice and every game. Calvary Baptist Athletics does not want to simply exist. We want to make a statement that we are committed to giving our best performance every day and growing a program that competes for championships.

Players

• The Person – Athletics is a tool to grow the person. Athletics does not take top priority over the person. Therefore, Calvary Baptist School and our coaching staff are committed to using sports as a way to grow each student athlete in their own personal lives.
• The Student – Athletics is secondary to academics. At Calvary Baptist School, we hold our student athletes to high standards of eligibility. Therefore, if a student athlete has an F or below a C average, they will be considered ineligible to participate in athletics for 3 weeks. We will be checking each athlete’s eligibility status periodically.
• The Athlete – Athletics is a gift from God. Therefore, we want our athletes to excel in the realm of competition and to reach their full potential on the field/court. Our coaches are committed to developing each athlete in their particular gift and role on the team.

Competitors

Calvary Baptist Athletics loves our competitors. We encourage our athletes to only talk positively about our competitors. We respect them, congratulate them, help them up, give them credit, and we give them our best effort. We strive to view our competitors as Christ views them. In competition, rivalries are exposed between schools and between individuals. However, our coaches are committed to responding in love to our opponents no matter their response to us.

Coaches

Calvary Baptist Athletics is interested in hiring coaches who first love Jesus with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Secondly, we value coaches who have experience and are willing to learn more about coaching. Thirdly, we desire coaches who are dedicated to encouraging our athletes to take their next step of faith in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Fourthly, we hire coaches who are honest and caring about our student’s academic performance. Lastly, we expect our coaches to do everything they can to improve each player’s ability in their specific sport. We expect our athletes to reach their potential by the time they graduate from our programs.
