INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS TEAMS
Interscholastic Sports Teams
Children in grades 5 through 8 (and occasionally grade 4) have an opportunity to participate on interscholastic teams that compete against similar teams from other schools in the area. These teams include volleyball, basketball, softball, and track for boys; volleyball, basketball, softball, track, and cheerleading for girls.
An Athletic Fee of $25.00 is assessed to students participating in any sport. This fee covers all sports played during the current school year. This fee is non-refundable.
Philosophy
The primary purpose for existence of CONCORDIA LUTHERAN SCHOOL is to have each child become totally dependent upon JESUS CHRIST for all their spiritual and earthly needs by:
 | Teaching the will GOD has revealed in the Bible. |
| Providing daily Christian fellowship as one of the most powerful factors in building character and training for Christian living. |
| Instilling in the hearts of our children a child-like faith and greater love in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and love for other human beings. |
It is the aim of CONCORDIA'S Athletic Program to facilitate these goals through sports activities. Through a student's participation in interscholastic sports, it is hoped that the student will further develop spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and socially. Students will be encouraged to be the best they can be by doing the best they can to the glory of CHRIST.
It will be the role of the Athletic Director and coaches to facilitate this growth and development.
CONCORDIA'S interscholastic sports are designed primarily for Concordia students in grade 5-8. They provide interested students a voluntary competitive program where the athlete plays on teams which compete against teams from other schools.
