Cornerstone - Athletics
Athletic competition plays a vital role in the development of children during the natural maturation process. At its very core, a successful athletic program directly trains future leaders while simultaneously offering numerous physical benefits to its student-athletes. We also believe that participation in sports at a young age will enhance a child’s overall spiritual, mental, emotional, and social development. With this in mind, Cornerstone's Athletics Program exists as a ministry to:
- Teach students athletic skills while building physical discipline
- Provide students with opportunities to compete in safe and challenging environments
- Exhort our student athletes to exhibit Christ-like attributes on and off the field of play
- Strengthen and encourage students in their relationships with Jesus Christ
- Bring glory and honor to God in all things
Additionally, our student-athletes learn to adhere to Biblical principles in all situations and at all times while accepting the authorities God has placed over them. Cornerstone Christian Academy purposes to develop young athletes who also:
- Strive for excellence while participating properly as part of a team
- Set and work toward both individual and team goals
- Give their best effort in competition with other athletes
- Maintain physical well-being while improving upon their personal best
- Develop self-discipline and a positive self-image
- Relate to coaches, teammates, opponents, and spectators in a Godly manner
- Develop as Christian leaders while exhibiting good sportsmanship
- Learn, understand, and follow the given rules of a sport
- Help to encourage and strengthen the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) cooperation, determination, perseverance, self-control, discipline of emotion, sportsmanship, humility, commitment, and maturity
At Cornerstone, we offer after school and intramural athletics throughout the school year via the Northwest YMCA.
