Athletics
The vision: VCS Athletics exists to provide a quality program for student athletes on and off the athletic field and courts. To that end, our students will bring honor to Him, be part of a Christian team, and develop to their full potential as an athlete under the direction of a Christ centered coach.
- Honor to Him
- Develop the team
- Develop the athlete
- Develop the coach(s)
Each athlete, coach, and staff member involved in the VCS athletic program will be held to a character standard that is exemplified in Scripture. All conduct on and off the playing field will bring glory to Christ, in the actions with other students, staff, fans, officials, and opponents; all student athletes are students first then athletes.
1) Honor to Him: Col. 3:17 "...whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus..."
2) Develop the team: It is the purpose of the athletic program to teach and guide student athletes in the goal of commitment to the team. The coach will be responsible in developing team unity on and off the field.
3) Develop the athlete: It is the purpose of the athletic program to expose, develop, and train student athletes in the disciplines of competition within Christian environment.
4) Develop the coach(s): It is the responsibility of each department's Athletic Director to develop, train and teach the coaching staff to implement the Christian athletic vision of VCS.

THE VCHS ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY
The VCS ATHLETIC program will incorporate a "Blue Collar" work ethic and attitude. Through every phase of the game, game preparation, and practice all players and coaches will use strict discipline and hard work to achieve their goals, while modeling a Christ-like attitude. We will strive to be men and women after God's own heart! We will create a loving, patient, and supportive Christian environment through honesty, integrity, and fairness. Each player and coach are considered a member of the body of one and as such will have a role in the development and growth of the program by actively participating in the formulation of goals, discipline and consequences, and the positive role modeling of the program. As an extension of the immediate family, it is the responsibility of the team to reinforce biblical truths, and discipleship as means to increase and further enhance the spiritual growth of each person by means of athletic competition. We will strive to be a model Christian athletic program and bring honor and glory to the LORD our GOD in all that we do.
Coach Smith
"For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men."
