Athletics
Through 25+ athletic offerings, Valor student-athletes hone their faith, skills and character through competitive play. The goal is for everyone to experience sport as an act of worship. Many of our athletes are recruited to play in college, affording unparalleled opportunities to transform the world for Christ.
Overview
Our student-athletes love to play hard and compete against some of the best competition in the state and nationally. Through our elite Performance and Sports Medicine programs, alongside with some of the best coaches out there, Valor student-athletes enjoy access to all of the resources they need to be successful.
More than 75 percent of Valor students participate in 25 cut and non-cut sports, while the rest of the community loves to come out and cheer them on, whether it’s a regular season game, a pre-season battle on ESPN, or a State Championship match.
But our goal is not merely to produce student athletes. Rather, our mission and desire is to produce young men and women of character who see their worth in light of God’s love for them and call on their lives in service to him. At Valor, we see sport as an act of worship, and we work with our athletes daily to help them understand who they are as a Child of Christ and how they can use their gifts to glorify our Creator.
