Cultivating Wholeness and Virtue
At Covenant Academy, we believe that Athletics are a vital component of the complete education of a child and should fulfill the mission of our school, which is to train students to impact their culture for Christ. Sports at Covenant Academy teach athletes the values of self-discipline, commitment, teamwork, self-control, perseverance, loyalty, and fellowship. We believe that athletics and team sports are a great training ground for building character. All of the little opportunities that come along – bad calls, disagreement with a teammate or opponent, not getting playing time are – all of these things help to shape and define the character of these young men and women and we believe this helps to build strong, sturdy kids. That same strength, that same fortitude, and that same diligence that they bring to athletics, can cross over to the classroom. Building strong athletes can build strong students.
Vision
Our Athletics Programs Goals
Organizing and Programming Christ-Centered Sports and P.E.
The Covenant Academy Athletic Program is committed to providing a Christ-centered, high-quality sports experience for students in grades five (5) and above. Additionally, we offer P.E. classes for kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) students. Our P.E. classes focus on developing skills and conditioning suitable for various sports. We also support our students’ parents and coaches to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved. Over the years, our Athletic Program has grown to include ten teams in five different sports, spanning grades 5 through 12.
Sports and Life Balance
The program aims to promote a balanced approach to sports and life by supporting the Christian value of prioritizing faith and family and the school’s emphasis on academics over athletics. This is achieved by scheduling practices and games (when under the school’s control and facilities and coach’s schedules permit) in a way that minimizes disruption to the student’s ability to attend church, spend time with family, and study while also ensuring that they can compete with excellence.
Godly Training for Kingdom Service
The program aims to train student-athletes for Kingdom work through the guidance of mature and godly coaches. It challenges them to train and compete in a manner that develops perseverance, strength, compassion, boldness, and humility, emphasizing serving the Kingdom of Christ as godly men and women. For team sports, this entails adopting an “others first” approach.
Instilling Necessary Discipline for Athletic Excellence
The aim of the program is to enhance the skills, endurance, and physical strength of student-athletes through competent coaching and training programs that minimize injuries. Positive correction, assistance, improvement, and prevention are emphasized as forms of discipline. Every student-athlete is expected to dedicate themselves to practice and conditioning, both in and out of season, to compete at their best ability.
Fostering a Culture of Honor
Student-athletes, coaches, and parents are expected to display honorable conduct towards their opponents, their opponents’ supporters, and the game or contest officials, regardless of their behavior. The program aims to represent the school community and the cause of Christ in a positive light during all its activities. Everyone is expected to demonstrate modesty and graciousness in both victory and defeat. Additionally, all must comply with the letter and spirit of the league rules.
Teams and Schedules
Our athletic program offers a range of sports, fostering a balanced approach to life and sports. We participate in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS), with teams across grades 5-12 Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field, Wrestling, Cross Country, Swimming, and Golf. Schedules and practices are designed to prioritize faith, family, and academics, ensuring the holistic development of our student-athletes.
