RSM Christian School offers a variety of sports for students primarily in 5th through 8th grades. The athletic program's purpose is to help develop the student-athlete's physical, emotional, spiritual, and academic advancement. The goal is to honor God first and use their God-given skills and talents to represent Christ. The program provides a framework for understanding sportsmanship, emphasizing unity, commitment, discipline, and respect for oneself and others. Student-athletes are expected to exemplify a “Christ-like” attitude both on and off the field or court.
Tryouts are held at the beginning of each season. Practices are held at the end of the school day during the season, with one (or two) games played per week. League play determines seeding for playoff competition that leads to the championship for 5th through 8th grade. Sportsmanship is emphasized throughout the league.
RSM Christian Philosophy of Athletics
The most visible evidence of our school to the community is the athletic program, where our behavior is our testimony. Therefore, we desire to provide an athletic program that is marked by excellence in its qualified Christian coaches, its focus on sportsmanship and Christian character, its reward for effort and hard work, and its commitment to integrity and fair play in the endeavor to be successful.
Christ-Centered Athletic Program
Christian Values can be most effectively demonstrated in Athletics. The playing field is a lab experience for the application of Biblical principles taught in the church, classroom, and home. Boys and girls can be salt and light to others through the proper use of their God-given skills and talents in the realm of athletics.
