First and foremost, win or lose, the GCA Varsity Baseball Team will glorify God.
“Let your good light shine that others may see your
good works and Glorify our Father in Heaven.”
-- Matthew 5:16
We are committed to offering a baseball program where the first priority of student athletes is to be a testimony of Jesus Christ in ALL they do.
Our coaching staff is committed to:
- Teach life lessons through sports and encourage life-long participation in athletics.
- Provide athletes with opportunities for developing leadership skills.
- Teach sportsmanship to the athletes, who will learn to win humbly as well as to lose with dignity.
- Model and teach integrity by playing by the rules.
- Teach the value of teamwork and emphasize the team above individual success.
- Provide opportunities to serve one another and others through participation in athletics.
- Encourage the development of perseverance through responding to the challenges inherent in competitive athletics.
- Teach the athletes through discipline and commitment to hard work that effort and participation are the keys to success. Winning contests is a by-product of their effort and hard work.
- Model and teach Christ-honoring character qualities through athletics, so that they can be developed in our student athletes.
We hope to see you around the diamond. May you always slide in, under the tag!
