Building a Championship Legacy
It may be hard to remember a time when your son or daughter wasn’t running or chasing a ball of some sort. By this point, athletics is a significant part of their lives — and we believe it should be a routine part of their education, too.
In fact, we believe sports are important enough to be co-curricular at Covenant Christian because they teach lessons in character, perseverance, and teamwork. They help develop your teen into who God wants them to be, and there’s no higher calling than that.
With those lessons in mind, we:
- Encourage your student to play more than one sport — and we make it easy to do so
- Provide state-of-the-art facilities so your son or daughter can reach their full potential
- Hire talented coaches with strong networks to get the attention of college recruiters
It’s this God-honoring approach that has helped us become one of the top Christian high school sports programs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

The Benefits of Christian High School Athletics
As a student-athlete who plays multiple sports each year, I have learned more than the value of competition. High school sports have taught me self-discipline, time management, and perseverance. Our coaches at CCA teach us how to win with humility and how to grow from each loss. Along with learning important life lessons, the friendships made through sports are invaluable.”
