Athletics
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
- Matthew 19:26
Participating in athletics is an important part of a student's school experience. It helps students to learn cooperation, teamwork, and develops character. Through a student athlete's participation, they will be challenged to grow and develop in ability, confidence, and social interaction.
