THE PURPOSE OF SPORTS AT DIVINE SAVIOR ACADEMY

In the book of Psalms, the Lord tells us, "I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14a) The Lord also tells us in the book of Philippians, "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13) From these passages, we see that God has given us our bodies, senses, and abilities. Therefore, we should use these gifts to bring praise and glory to His name. At Divine Savior Academy, we offer the students many ways to exercise their bodies as well as their minds in order that we all may glorify God.

The purpose and philosophy of the Divine Savior Academy athletic program is as follows:

1. To allow athletes the opportunity to work and play together with fellow young athletes.
2. To nurture God-pleasing habits, attitudes, and values in the athletes.
3. To equip our students with certain skills and knowledge of various sports that may be an asset to them in future interscholastic or recreational competition.
