Sarasota Christian School

Winning is always a goal, but it is not our purpose. The true purpose is discipleship of our athletes. Every athlete in the Blazers Athletic Program should be transformed through the experience and find success at the varsity level by closing the gap between their potential and their performance.

Varsity teams are competing for championships at the district and state levels and we want our athletes to perform at their best. The time commitment is greater than sub-varsity athletics (often with year round activities) and playing time is not guaranteed.  Regardless of the amount of playing time an athlete receives, we believe all roles on the team have value. We will all be on teams the rest of our lives and being part of a great team that is centered on love, trust, and relationships, has value no matter what the scoreboard reads. We can be great at building great teams every year, no matter our athletic ability or the athletic ability of our opponents.

The scoreboard is not the ultimate determiner of success. There are other ways to define winning and ultimately the true success of a season will be known in 10 to 15 years when we find out the kind of men and women athletes become.

Ultimately, when an athlete graduates, we hope they will look at the teams that they were on as fundamental in helping them develop into the person they are today. Our goal is that the experience will be cherished for a lifetime and that some will be working hard to play at the next level. Our prayer is their faith in Jesus Christ is strengethend and grown deeper by playing a sport at SCS.
