Sports Programs

SSA is happy to sponsor an extensive after-school sports program. We are able to offer: boys flag football, basketball, and soccer for grades 5-8; girls softball, volleyball, basketball, and soccer for grades 5 – 8 and soccer for boys and girls in grades TK- 4.

Parents, players and coaches must agree to abide by both the sports and regular philosophy of the school and the league we play in when it comes to participating in this sports program. We do believe that at this age level, students should be learning the sport and necessary skills involved to play. They should be able to have fun and winning is not the main objective. We believe that all players should get to play at every game/match if they have been at every practice and exhibit positive and Christian sportsmanlike conduct.

Eligibility

Grade checks are run at least twice a quarter to make sure-that the student is not failing in any academic area and occasionally students are asked to focus on the academics rather than the sport. (The student will then be “off” the team. Letters are sent home in this case.) We also expect parents to be a positive support for the players and coaches and expect positive sportsmanlike conduct—on the practice and playing fields from them, as well.

Student Commitment

We expect commitment from the students in the form of being present for every practice and game. Students should not arbitrarily pick and choose what they feel like going to. By signing up for a team they need to be committed and we expect them to commit to the whole season. A social event should not preclude a game or practice.

Coaching

Our coaches are made up of parent volunteers and practice schedules will vary. Please call the school at (619) 463-0488 if you have any questions about changes in practice or game schedules.
