Athletics at GCA
We are a part of the
Indian Trails Conference |
At GCA, sports are an important part of our community. Our overarching goal is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ through athletics. GCA student athletes will be taught and trained in the following areas: evangelism and discipleship, respect for authority, personal responsibility, teamwork and sportsmanship, and putting forth maximum effort in the classroom and on the field/court in addition to the skills and conditioning connected to the sport in which they participate.
Middle school and High School athletes currently play together. As the teams grow in number and within our conference, teams will be split between JV and Varsity. Middle and High school athletics included: Fall: Boys Soccer Girls Volleyball Winter: Boys Basketball Girls Basketball Girls Cheer Spring: Girls Soccer Boys Volleyball If you have any further questions, please contact Evan Jones, Athletic Director by phone: 414-327-4200 or email at [email protected]. |
Fall Pre-Season Sports Meeting - August 5th 6pm
Sports Expectations
- Students must maintain a C– average (77.00 %) to participate in any sports program. Averages are computed prior to each individual sport’s season with the exception of soccer and volleyball. Eligibility for soccer and volleyball is based on the fourth quarter averages of the previous year for all returning students. During the season, players falling behind on school work will be dealt with on an individual basis.
- Athletes must come prepared for practice. That includes:
- being on time
- having proper equipment
- T-shirt and shorts or sweats
- athletic shoes
- Athletes must attend all scheduled practice sessions. The only exception is a valid excused absence, which will require a written note from the parent(s) explaining why the student will be (or was) missing from practice. Detentions are not considered a valid excuse.
- Uniform and proper athletic shoes are required to play in competition.
- During competition, only team members are permitted on the team benches. The team members not playing should be sitting with the coach or in one designated spot.
