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.
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.

HEARTS for Jesus Christ is a Home School Organization which we often partner with for sport teams. From time to time either school, HEARTS or WCA, may not have enough athletes to field a team on their own, at which point we combine forces. Depending on the sport and coaches, the team my dress under WCA or HEARTS colors. These decisions are made season to season.
At this time WCA is unable to field HS OHSAA sanctioned teams. HEARTS for Jesus Christ is a Home School Organization which we often partner with for sport teams. HEARTS is OHSAA certified and invites WCA athletes to join their teams.
