Athletics at TCS
At Trinity Christian School, we strive to offer students a well-rounded experience. We believe the Lord has blessed each of our students with certain gifts which include athletics, arts and academics.
Physical Education is part of the core curriculum at TCS and offered to all of our students twice weekly.
For students with a passion for athletics, our TCS Athletic Program provides opportunities to grow and compete. Practices and games are held four out of the five days of the school week, giving student-athletes consistent opportunities to develop their skills and build team unity. Our teams compete in both home and away games against a variety of private Christian and public schools throughout the south and southwest suburbs of Chicago.
Teams typically participate in one to three tournaments per season, allowing athletes to gain valuable game experience and showcase their growth. A sports fee is required for each sport, helping support equipment, uniforms, and tournament participation.
Our coaches are experienced and passionate about mentoring young athletes, focusing not only on athletic development but also on spiritual growth and Christ-centered character.
Under the leadership of our Athletic Director, Mrs. Maddie Deeter (mdeeter@trinitychristian.info), our athletic program offers meaningful, competitive, and character-building experiences that leave a lasting impact on our students, both on and off the field.
