Respect. Excellence. Pride. And fun! These are what make up the heart of Concordia’s Athletic program. From Elementary to High School, we use athletic disciplines to reinforce the critical skills, positive attitude and dedication that will propel each student successfully through life. And here, our teachers and coaches intentionally help students understand what this means: to embrace challenge, win with humility and handle defeat with dignity.
“At Concordia we place as much value on our teams winning a sportsmanship award as we do a championship award!” -Dr. Koerschen, Head of School
Kids want (and need!) to play. During these formative years we seek to harness this natural energy and enthusiasm and teach our young students to build sportsmanship, improve motor skills and of course, have fun!
In Middle School, everyone plays and everyone wins. Team sports are extremely popular and we make a place for all students to explore sports that peak their interests. Organized, team play reinforces respect for our peers and the game, and our strong partnership with area sports programs gives those students looking for a bit more edge an outlet to dive deeper into competitive play.
In High School, our students have the same opportunities afforded by an American education: competitive team sports at both a Varsity and Junior Varsity level in Volleyball, Basketball and Soccer. Try-outs are held for team positions and all athletic programs necessarily require greater individual commitment. At Concordia, our athletes have the chance to enhance their athletic prowess, become positive role models and advocate for their sport.
