The athletics program at Covenant seeks to form flourishing young adults who are walking in wisdom and maturity in their Christian faith.
In all of our athletic pursuits, Covenant aims toward the rightful ordering of students’ loves and the formation of virtuous habits rather than immediately measured success. For this reason, our coaches look beyond a season’s statistics to the cultivation of young men and women for whom athletics is an effective means to worthy ends but not the ends themselves. Covenant aims to prepare students for balancing their athletic pursuits with other commitments and callings in ways that deviate from society’s preoccupation with sports.

The past 25 years at Covenant Christian Academy has seen tremendous growth in athletics. After the development of competitive athletic teams, Covenant joined the PIAA in 2010 and subsequently the CCAC (Commonwealth Christian Athletic Conference). Since that time, our teams have earned Conference titles, District titles and qualified for State playoffs numerous times. We have had individual athletes recognized and honored by conference, district, and state coaching associations, and have had several alumni continue to play at the collegiate level.
While we are certainly thankful for the growth we have seen in the program itself, we are most grateful for the ways we have seen God use athletics to shape the hearts of our students. Most recently the CCAC has begun to confer a yearly sportsmanship award to a single varsity program and a single middle school program who has most consistently demonstrated Christ-like sportsmanship through an entire school year. Covenant Christian Academy was the 2021-2022 Varsity Program Sportsmanship winner.
We are excited to look ahead to the ways our athletic program will help continue to form flourishing young men and women.
