Knights Athletics – Philosophy
At Cary Christian School, we believe that athletics are an ideal complement to academics and the arts in the overall classical educational experience for our students. We believe that it is essential to train the body, renew the mind, and encourage the spirit in the mind of Christ. This development will equip our students to go forth in the world as confident, strategic, strong, and intentional adults with a goal of expanding the kingdom of God in the world and deepening their own relationship with their heavenly Father.
We believe our students to be God’s workmanship created in Christ for good works He created in advance for them to do. That means it is our goal to help each student find and develop and perfect their unique gifts and abilities. Our practice spaces allow for this work whereas the competition space allows us to test our ability and our character under greater pressure in a very public venue. This will result in great success and failure at various times, both of which are necessary for growth in Christ. We desire to build the child for the path, not the path for the child.
Our coaches will not only teach the expertise of sports but also share with our students their own personal triumphs and failures in Christ to exemplify what running the race looks like in practicality. Our parents will encourage and support our students and coaches with an outpouring of love and spirit for all their efforts. As a program, our students, coaches, and parents will respect our opponents, our authorities, and our results with a mind of being a witness toward a greater calling—that of the prize of the high calling of Jesus Christ!
Qualifications
As required by the North Carolina Independent State Athletic Association, every student participating on a CCS athletic team during the 2020-21 school year will be required to have a medical physical and a signed form by a physician. Every student and parent must read and sign the Gfeller-Waller concussion information form. Both forms must be on file at the school office prior to participation on a team.

Athletic Program Objectives
Varsity (grades 9-12): The objective of the varsity level is to exhibit impeccable sportsmanship and excellence. Varsity athletics is highly competitive and advanced. At this level, the athlete will be scrutinized more thoroughly in his character, ability, attitudes, and skills. He will play before many witnesses, including the Lord. The most qualified athletes will be allowed on the varsity team. Playing time will be at the discretion of the coach. In some sports, seventh- and eighth-grade students are eligible to participate on a varsity team.
Middle School (grades 6-8): The objectives of the middle-school program are improvement through participation and the development of basic skills. Coaches will also teach basic rules and principles of the game. Middle-school athletics will allow each student the opportunity to participate and grow in sportsmanship and Christian character. Each athlete will be allowed to participate in every game contingent on their attitude and participation in practice. Coaches will talk with players and parents to explain reasons for non-participation in a game.
