 While academics plays the most vital role in helping to shape a student's future, athletics plays an important part. Coaches, practices, road trips, and the games themselves all form a larger classroom where a young man or woman makes decisions that can frame a life and leave a legacy. Life lessons of sacrifice, perseverance, responsibility, teamwork and commitment are reinforced on the fields of play and combine with those gleaned from the academic classroom experience.
 Grace Christian Academy believes that sports also provide an excellent opportunity to minister God’s love to the community through exemplary attitudes and actions. The Athletic Department at Grace Christian Academy seeks to use the arena of athletic competition to teach each student-athlete the disciplines needed to build Christian character, to develop a sense of community, and to foster excellence in education, teamwork, and leadership.
As we strive for excellence in every area at the Academy, God has richly blessed us with a dedicated coaching staff in all of our sports. Nearly half of GCA's middle and high school students participate in at least one sport. We look forward to having a great year and seeing what the Lord will do in the lives of our student-athletes.
