Athletic Director: Coach Young
All athletes must turn in a sports physical before being allowed to participate in practices.
FBCA student athletes should strive to be as much like Christ, with the Holy Spirit’s help, on and off the court or field. Just as Jesus gave Himself for us (Phil. 2:8), so should we work to give all we have to Him.
Scriptural-based character qualities promoting excellent athletics habits through practice and prayer:
Dependability – be at all practices and contests unless excused by your coach. Do what is expected of you in all situations. (Psalms 15:4)
Punctuality – be on time, never late. (Eccl 3:1)
Love – be self-sacrificing and show a real concern for team members, coaches, and opponents. (1 Cor 13:3)
