Athletics

The mission of Mt. Carmel Christian Academy athletics is to develop a foundation of strong character and self-determination in our athletes. We strive to glorify God no matter the outcome of a game, and we hope to provide an outstanding platform for our student athletes to showcase a pursuit of excellence and a heart for Jesus.

Our goal is to win with humility and to handle defeat with grace. We believe athletics provides a framework to develop Christian leaders so that they may continue to spread the word of God long after graduation. 

Three Pillars for Athletics

• Worship: In His name we play, Colossians 3:17
• Worthy: In how we play we will always honor and please God, Colossians 1:10
• Witness: Through how we play, we will shine His light, Matthew 5:16

Athletics Core Values

• Play Like a Champion, 2 Timothy 2:5
• Sacrifice, 2 Samuel 24:24
• Recognize Christ in Victory and Defeat, Philippians 4:13
• Be a Worthy Teammate, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

If you want to participate in our athletic program, volunteer to help out, or have questions about it, contact our Athletic Director HERE.

Our tentative athletic calendar can be found below.

All students will need to have yearly physicals. Find the VHSL Physical Form here or in the athletic rack outside the office. Forms must be turned in before students can participate in any sports.
