Athletics for Elementary & Middle School
From Recess to Team Play
Growing Stronger Every Day
During the first half of our physical education class the students will complete a series of calisthenics to get them warmed up and increase their heart rate. While doing so we teach them important fundamentals of movement such as balance, flexibility, and coordination. For the remainder of the class we will learn and play a wide range of sports or games. These will include soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, capture the flag, dodgeball, and many more. These sports will not only be fun but teach them about teamwork, sportsmanship, and competition. The overall goal of the program is to increase our students’ health by incorporating fun ways to exercise.

Team Sports
Advent students are encouraged to participate in team sports, where commitment, sportsmanship, fair play, and teamwork are emphasized. Students learn they can glorify God through healthy competition, winning with humility, and losing with grace. Interscholastic sports begin in the fourth grade. Advent’s Middle School athletic teams have a long history of success and have reached and State and National levels.
The Junior Varsity level (fifth and sixth grades) is considered a learning level. Athletes will learn the rules and fundamentals of the game and be able to practice those skills. It is our goal to allow every child to play while maintaining a competitive spirit.
The Varsity level (primarily seventh & eighth grades) is a competitive level. At this level the athletes will learn the more advanced rules and strategies of the game. Some athletes will have more playing time than others based on skill and circumstances.
Middle School Athletes are encouraged to participate in FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) to further develop leadership potential and sportsmanship.
