We value sports as part of fostering school culture.

Here’s a question worth considering: Why should a school, particularly a classical Christian school, have a sports program?

Unfortunately, most folks simply assume that sports and school go together. It’s just what you do. There’s, maybe, lip service given to “life lessons” learned, but in reality, our culture idolizes sport, makes sports figures our models of success, and looks for opportunities to experience personal glory.

At Holy Trinity we want to value sports as an important part of fostering school culture and an important part of the formative aspect of education. But sports are an important part of the school (not the driver of the school), and they are important to the degree that they supplement the mission of the school.

Holy Trinity participates in the SCISA sports league.

++ Eligibility Requirements & Sports Offered:

Students are generally eligible to participate in school sports as early as 5th Grade as long as they meet minimum academic eligibility requirements.

The sports program at Holy Trinity focuses on:

- Promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
- Cultivating teamwork – de-emphasizing self, and learning serve others for team success.
- “Knowing your role and playing your role,” which means players learn humility and service as much as individual success.
- Preserving in adversity and practicing a “growth mentality.”
- Learning how to compete with courage, sportsmanship, skill, and grace - both in victory and in defeat.
- Learning how to trust and love your teammates.
- Being “coachable.”
- Pursuing excellence and trusting God with the results.
- Playing to win without worshipping the win.

We also want our sports program to reflect the wise axiom “much, not many.” While we want to pursue a variety of sports activities, we would rather pursue a few sports with excellence than pursue an abundance of sports with mediocrity.

- Sports commonly offered at Holy Trinity include:
- Girls Volleyball (middle school, Junior Varsity, and Varsity as the student population supports).
