Athletics

Dedicated to Preparing Athletes

Participating in sports can develop one mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Sports play an important part in the total educational program at ACS. One of the major purposes in our athletic program is to train students to “have the mind of Christ” even under the pressure of competition. Our goal in academics and athletics is to develop Godly Christian character in students who are willing to be used of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.
Colossians 3:23

An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
2 Timothy 2:5

Physical training is good, but training for Godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.
1Timothy 4:8
