Philosophy

The purpose for athletics at Sumter Christian School is to give Christian athletes a positive Christian atmosphere in which they may develop in physical competition and grow in Christian character. Parents and friends are encouraged to attend the games and cheer positively for SCS, but never against the opponent. Hissing, booing, and other such unchristian conduct is inadmissible. The calls of the officials represent God's authority for the contest. Parents who complain about the officiating are in fact undermining their own God-given authority.

Funding

Income for the athletic program comes from primarily three sources: 1) Each athlete pays a fee per sport 2) Admission price to games, and 3) Concessions. Occasionally, contributions are made by parents, grandparents, and friends. The money is used for uniforms, officials, athletic equipment, travel, and maintenance of the fields. Your contributions are tax deductible and appreciated.
