Philosophy

The Christ School coaches and student-athletes project an image of gracious competitors who embrace challenge, enjoy the process, win with humility, handle defeat with dignity, advocate for their sport, and are positive role models who give the glory to God. The Christ School believes that participation in sports is an important part of your child’s education. It is the goal of The Christ School to teach our athletes quality competition and sportsmanship that they will display and enjoy for a lifetime. God’s Word says that competition is the fellowship of our brothers and sisters. Let us compete with this spirit and run the race for Him.

Coach Selection

Coaches are the heart of our teams. We have head coaches for each of our six sports offerings. Coaches are required to be fingerprinted with a background check for the safety of our athletes. If you would like to be a volunteer coach, please contact Gina Wiborg. This is always a prayerful decision.

Play Time

  • • Play time at the 7/8th grade level is decided by the coach and athletic director based on skills and behavior.
  • • Play time at the 5/6th grade is in some teams decided by league rules and when not determined by league rules is at the coach’s discretion.
  • • Play time will be affected by attitude both on and off the field or court.
  • • Players will be benched for improper attitude.
