EUKARYA ATHLETICS

At Eukarya, we view athletics as an important means of accomplishing our mission of DEVELOPING STUDENTS OF WISDOM AND VIRTUE. We believe that through physical exertion, team play, and competition, our students become more fully-developed young men and women.

SCHOLASTIC SEASONAL TEAMS:   Eukarya Athletics offers athletic teams for both girls and boys in 5th -12th grades. Our Scholastic Seasonal Teams are primarily made up of our ECA student athletes.  (Non-ECA students may participate with approval of the coach and the Athletic Director, so we can confirm whether our program is a good fit for your athlete/ family.  These invitations also depend on available spots on the team.  Public students may not be rostered in our Conference games.) 

Seasonal teams include:  Fall Boys Soccer and Girls Volleyball,  Winter Boys & Girls Basketball, and Spring  Girls  Soccer.

At the end of our year of competition, all Scholastic Seasonal Teams are invited to come together and celebrate at the Sports Banquet in May. 

SPORTS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS:  As facilities and staffing allow, we hope to introduce sports programs for the wider community, which will be open to ECA and non-ECA players.   Details to follow.

MEET OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

In 2021, Coach Cody Robertson took the baton as our 2nd Athletic Director (after Founding AD, Brandy Corbin.)  He has served as our Head Coach for Boys Soccer since it was founded in 2018.   In 2020, he led the team to the NACA Div 3 Championship!   He also moved from Assist Coach to Head Coach in our Varsity Basketball program in 2020 and grew it to include a JV level team. In 2023, the Varsity Basketball team earned 3rd Place in NACA Div 8.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

We are grateful that you have entrusted your athletes to our program, and hope that you will find that trust to be well-placed.  

No matter how wonderful our coaches are, we know that PARENTS are a pivotal part of building a successful community in Eukarya Athletics!    

Your role begins by encouraging and guiding your athlete!  We know that YOURS is probably the "wallet" from which the athletic fees came!  And YOU are also often the "wheels" to get your players to and from their team events on time.   There are certainly many "tangible" sacrifices that parents make to support their kids' sports activities!

But most importantly, YOU are a major influence on whether they will arrive at practices and games with a "coachable" attitude, treat their teammates with respect and servanthood, and play with honorable sportsmanship.      We want to THANK YOU, for all the ways you sacrifice to personally support your athlete and instruct him/ her through the "heart issues" that often arise when participating in sports. 

Your role continues by supporting and serving the team!  First, we need CHEERING FANS in the stands!  We hope that you will come out to as many games as possible!  Invite friends and family to join you -- let's hear that Lion Pride "ROAR!" 

Second, we need WILLING CONTRIBUTORS to help our seasons run smoothly.  We will expect parents to work several times as Gate Greeters, Concessions Attendants, Scorekeepers, Set-up & Clean-up Helpers, etc.   (Those serving at a game get FREE ADMISSION!)

We look forward to helping  EACH FAMILY will find a place to serve!  If you are not sure where your skills could best be used, talk to Cody Robertson or Lorri VanDerLinden!  They will be happy to help you plug in!

(Families who are not able to complete their required service assignments to the team will be invoiced an additional fee.)

TOURNAMENT TRAVEL

In past years, Eukarya teams have participated in tournaments hosted by the National Assoc of Christian Athletes (NACA) in Dayton, TN.   These tournaments not only give competitive experience, but also give specifically unique opportunities for team fellowship in travel and Christian enrichment through evening worship and speakers.   

The NACA Tournaments for 2023-2024:

Girls Volleyball -- Oct 24-28

Boys Soccer -- Oct 31-Nov 4

Boys Basketball - Mar 5-9

Girls Soccer -- Apr 30-May 4

Occasionally, we will also participate in regional tournaments that enhance the competitive experience for our teams.   These may or may not involve overnight travel.   

*Tournament travel costs are the responsibility of the players, and are additional to their Seasonal Registration Fees.
