Athletic Philosophy
The Calvary Christian School Athletic program seeks to provide a safe and active environment where students have the privilege of participating in a sport, while at the same time representing their school. The Athletic Program also looks to further develop the school’s mission statement by “developing Christian values through athletics.” Furthermore, Calvary Christian School Athletics seeks to accomplish this by placing the athlete first and winning second. The program is designed to teach our students that victory is accomplished through fair play and good sportsmanship. And the greatest victory is representing Jesus Christ in all that you do. (Col 3:23 and Phil 3:14)

Coaching Staff
The school’s first priority is to hire coaches from Calvary’s faculty and staff. If the coaching positions are not able to be filled by staff members, outside help will be sought.
Commitment
Each student athlete and his parents will be required to sign a “Contract to Participate” prior to each athletic season. All players are required to participate in all games and practices. If a player has an unexcused absence (Excused absence = illness, injury) from a practice or game, he may not be eligible to play in the team’s next game but should attend the game. Athletes in grades 7-8 will be apart of the team but may not play in every game.
Transportation
Calvary Christian School will provide bus transportation to and from all away games except games played in Pacific Palisades. Games played in the Pacific Palisades include St. Matthews, Palisades Park, and Village School for the Coastal Canyon League. Parents may be requested to drive to any game that is within a 10 mile radius of the school.
Parents who wish to take their child directly from an away game must sign them out with the coach before leaving. This is to ensure the best possible means of safety for the student-athlete.
Uniforms
Calvary Christian School will provide all non-protective uniforms and equipment. Students will be required to provide their own mouth guards (required for football), shin guards (required for soccer), knee pads, etc.
It is the responsibility of the student to return uniforms at the conclusion of the season. Uniforms that are not turned in will be subject to a fine or the student-athlete’s report card being with-held.
Eligibility
If a student has been suspended from school, he/she may not attend any practices or games during the suspension. If there is a game the following day is the student-athlete will not start and playing time will be at the discretion of the coach and/or administration.
A student-athlete will not be eligible to play on a CCS athletic team with a grade of 70% or lower in any class and will be on academic probation for a period of one week. Generally, grade checks will be conducted at the end of the week. To be reinstated, it is the responsibility of the student-athlete to take the grade sheet to the individual teachers. The parents must sign the sheet and return it to the Athletic Director by Monday. If the grade sheet indicates the student-athlete had improved his grade to a C- or above, he will be reinstated on the team. If any student-athlete is on academic probation for more than two weeks during the season, he will be removed from the team.
If a student athlete, at any time during a season demonstrates poor behavior on or off the field or court. It will be at the discretion of the coach whether that student will participate in a game.
If a student athlete quits a team after the season has begun, the student athlete may not be eligible for a team during the next season.
