UCA Lions Athletics

Athletic Director

Win with Grace, Lose with Dignity, but above all, Glorify God!

Philosophy

UCA is committed to a well-balanced education.  The Physical being is just as important as the mental and spiritual.  In all areas of our athletic program, we seek to display Christ-like behaviors.  We are also committed to helping students learn the joys of teamwork, competition, sportsmanship, perseverance, humility, winning with Grace, and losing with Dignity.  Through our athletics we are able to have students engage in practical training in leadership, work ethic, service, teamwork, life lessons, and Glorify God.
