Athletics

SouthLake Christian students are known as strong competitors; whether they are first-time participants who are learning new skills in one of our 14 different programs on the middle/upper school level or seasoned players who are aiming to win a state championship for one of our ten varsity teams.

At SouthLake Christian, we view athletics as a unique opportunity to teach self-discipline, teamwork, obedience, compassion and Christ-like character on the field of competition. The athletic program seeks to develop these spiritual characteristics while also training the physical body in a competitive environment. Our foremost desire is to glorify God and share Christ in the way we compete on the field.

SouthLake Christian Academy offers middle and high school students the opportunity to compete in 14 different sports on 40 competitive teams. Student-athletes can participate in a diverse array of sports at the middle and high school level. Our teams have enjoyed success by winning 5 team state championships (NCISAA) and 20 individual state championships in baseball, cross country, football, swimming, volleyball and wrestling.

We provide opportunities for all students to participate, and this openness is one reason athletics is a core component of SouthLake Christian culture. In a typical academic year, 80% of Middle School students and 75% of Upper School students participate in at least one sport. This allows the students to obtain a Health & Physical Ed credit in upper school; students require one credits to meet the graduate requirement.
