The Purpose of Athletics at Trinity
The interscholastic athletic program at Trinity is an important part of the total educational program. It provides students the opportunities to learn and gain experiences that cannot be acquired except on the various playing fields in competition with others. It is here and under these conditions that the athlete can put into practice the Christian values and ethics taught in the classrooms and church.
Trinity, in partnership with parents, seeks to minister to the student athlete by teaching Christian sportsmanship and instilling the attitude that one can both win and lose with dignity, and without boasting or excuse. Young athletes on the playing field demonstrate the physical abilities that God has blessed them with, and they use these talents to bring God glory. By practicing good Christian sportsmanship, an attitude of wanting to do their very best, cooperation and teamwork with fellow team members, self-discipline, and dedication, the Trinity athlete makes the statement to everyone watching that they are ultimately on God’s team and they play to win praise for God.

Objectives of the Athletic Program
The student athletes will:
✓ Recognize their talents as blessings from God and will develop and use them in God pleasing ways,
