OCS Athletics Mission Statement The Odessa Christian School Athletic Department is committed to developing Christ-like character among our student athletes and encouraging these athletes to develop their God-given athletic abilities to their maximum potential. This will be accomplished through a program that emphasizes Christian character and conduct, achievement in athletics, leadership skills, and respect for teammates and opponents.
Purpose The purpose of Odessa Christian School’s athletic program is to fulfill the mission of the school through competition in interscholastic sports. The objective of the program at all levels is to develop a lifestyle of mental , physical, and spiritual fitness that is manifested through self-discipline, sportsmanship, cooperation, loyalty, and the understanding that each student athlete is to “work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,” (Colossians 3:23). Each student also learns to take joy in the Lord through one’s self, family, school, and community. The school is a member of the West Coast League and a provisional member of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). We are proud to field teams in several different sports: Golf, volleyball, boys’ and girls’ basketball, boys’ and girls’ track and field, baseball, softball, boys’ and girls’ cross country, boys’ and girls’ swimming, and 6-man tackle football. We are also looking forward to developing in the next one to three years an equestrian team and crew team. Participation is offered at the appropriate level as early as the fourth grade, with many of students participating in at least one sport.
