Athletics Mission Statement:

The mission of the RCS Athletic Department is to lead students to love God, instilling in them a >will to strive for excellence with Christian discipline and character that withstands pressure, teaching them the importance of teamwork, and showing them how to accept victory or defeat with grace and humility.

Athletics Philosophy:

Athletics are part of God’s creation. As such, athletics are intended to bring glory to Him. Christians are commanded to be different from the world around them, and this should be reflected in our athletes. We must teach our students to play sports and to live life from a Christian perspective rather than man’s perspective. Athletics from a Christian perspective should have several distinct characteristics that, when followed, allow coaches, athletes and spectators to bring glory to God. These distinct characteristics are drawn from God’s Word and may be different from the world’s viewpoint. It is vital that each Christian athlete, coach, and spectator be willing to submit, make changes, grow, and mature so that God will be pleased. Christ is to be the center of all our attention, both on and off the athletic field. We are to have His attitudes, His actions, and His mindset in every endeavour.

The following are the major objectives for our athletic program and are meant to give perspective and create a foundation for making each program an extension of our mission at Regina Christian School:

Our main objective is to bring glory and honour to God. A team establishes many goals, none of which should be greater than bringing glory to our Lord and Saviour. As a Christian school, we should be obviously different in our attitudes and actions. We are called by our Lord to be a light on a hill in the athletic contest. Granted, we will suffer some setbacks in this high goal, yet we need to continually encourage our coaches and athletes to pursue the elevation of Christ’s reputation. This cannot be compromised for perceived athletic benefit or success.
