Athletics at MCAThe mission of the MCA offers multiple opportunities for students to become involved in different sports all year long. In the fall, the Junior High and High School students play coed volleyball. The Lady Lions also compete separately in a girls’ volleyball league. In the winter, our boys’ and girls’ basketball teams work hard to defeat The sports leagues to which MCA belongs are at a level of high competition, both locally and state wide. VCAA, the Valley Christian Athletic Association, is a local league directed by Mr. Santiago Curling, the administrator of Macedonian Christian Academy. It consists of twelve of the local Christian schools, and provides the bulk of MCA’s games during the season. TAPPS, the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, consists of fifty-eight other 1A schools throughout Texas. Students travel to state-wide tournaments within the TAPPS league, giving them a better challenge and a more rewarding victory. Between VCAA and TAPPS, the students compete against their local friends and make new friends throughout the state. Because all students are automatically team members, everyone gets a chance to be involved with the sports program. This helps team unity at games and at school. However, there are some ground rules to help students stay involved, active, and focused on doing their best both athletically and academically. Students are eligible to play only if they have achieved “privilege” status. They must pass all of their tests and be current on their school work before they earn the right to leave the bench. This helps students strive to do their very best academically, making them more self-disciplined and goal-achieving servants for Christ. By offering various sports throughout the year and arranging local and state-wide competition, MCA strives for excellence in their athletic department. But instead of sports detracting from their education, students work harder to achieve eligibility. While the competition is exciting, the focus on character still remains primary. These are the factors that make athletics a vital part of the education at Macedonian Christian Academy. |
