WCA Athletics

The purpose and intent of our sports programs at WCA is to bring glory to God through participation and involvement in athletics.  Our goal is to develop, within those who participate, the character traits of Jesus Christ; producing positive Christian men and women who honor the Lord both on and off the playing field.

WCA believes that the condition of the heart comes before the score of the game.  When winning is kept in the right perspective, our student athletes are allowed to develop without the fear of failure.

Each athlete will need an updated sports physical and forms for the 2022-23 school year. Sports physicals are good for one year from the date of the physical.

Fees can be paid here.

PLEASE NOTE that game schedules will not be finalized until the league (CLEL) puts them together in late August. Most matches occur on Saturdays (mornings and early afternoons) in September and October but we will also schedule a few non-conference matches with other schools during the week. Updated Match Schedules will be posted once available.
