Heritage Athletics - Philosophy

 At CHCS, athletics are designed to play a vital role in the development of one’s physical body, moral character, and spiritual nature. Because we are a Christian school, it is expected that our students will demonstrate a higher standard in behavior, dress, competition and attitude. As Christians, we are constantly on display. People want to see if there is anything different in the way we act and in the way we play. We belong to Jesus Christ; thus, we are commanded to be His ambassadors and to do all things in His name, decently and in order. We are to do all things as unto the Lord.
The same principle applies to our “fans in the stands” as well. They are being watched, also. Again, people want to see how the fans will react to officiating or poor sportsmanship by a player on our team or the other team. We must guard against anything that would bring disparagement upon the name of Christ. Our adversary would do anything to cause the name of Christ to be brought under criticism. We desire to show forth Christ to the community through our attitudes and our  actions.
