ATHLETICS OVERVIEW

At Grace Academy, athletics are an integral tool to develop our students into young Christian leaders in pursuit of the glory of God. Our athletic program is based upon values that build winning programs but, more importantly, glorify Jesus Christ. We train our athletes to pursue excellence and virtue by setting high expectations with a focus on teamwork. The goal for each student athlete is to develop selflessness, teamwork, dedication, love for others, humility, delayed gratification, courage, and resilience.  We believe that these are critical attributes necessary to prepare our students for God's calling on their lives.

Our robust athletic program begins in 5th grade. Members of 29 teams across 10 sports learn to commit themselves to their teammates, work together toward challenging long term goals, and glorify God through athletic competition. Our Grammar athletes are taught the basic individual skills for each sport in 5th and 6th grade. Logic students further develop the team elements of each sport which will prepare them for our Rhetoric teams. Our Junior Varsity and Varsity athletes focus on the pursuit of championship by mastering their craft with support from our professional Christian coaching staff who set the vision for each sport at Grace Academy.

The result is an environment where our students get to practice the life lessons learned in the classroom as they prepare themselves for a lifetime of service to our Lord and our neighbors. While we celebrate our many championships, our program's ultimate goal is to produce humble and resilient Christian men and women who will one day lead their families, communities and churches.

Grace Academy high school teams compete in the Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship (TCAF) and the Texas Association of Independent Athletic Organizations (TAIAO), while our elementary and middle school teams compete in the Austin Christian Athletic Association (ACAA).
