Purpose
The purpose of the NRCS Sports Program is to provide a sound athletic educational opportunity that focuses on glorifying God. We recognize that competitive school sports are in many ways analogous with “life and life lessons”. Mentoring students in developing godly qualities such as leadership, self-discipline, endurance, self-control, diligence, sportsmanship, accountability, cooperation, submission to authority and teamwork will be assets for use beyond the sports arena.
Athletic Philosophy
Participation in the NRCS athletic program is a privilege earned through hard work, commitment and dedication to the team’s common goals. In view of the biblical principles and standards of this school, athletes are expected and encouraged to maintain a Christ-like attitude and show a high level of sportsmanship in every endeavor of life. The Bible tells us that how we think in our heart so are we. In order for us to have a Christ-like attitude and to show that attitude to others, we must intentionally put God’s Word in our heart, think positive thoughts and perform positive actions. Athletes, parents, friends, coaches and fans all have an opportunity to reflect Christ through athletics.
Athlete’s Code of Conduct
Athletics is a visual entity of our school. It is vital that our athletics represent the Lord. Hence, athletes are expected to conduct themselves properly.
