Cambridge Athletics
Training the body, training the soul.Sports are essential to a Cambridge education.
As Plato argues in The Republic, the purpose of athletic training is not merely bodily health, but also the health of the soul. The basketball court, the track, and the soccer pitch are testing grounds where students grow in courage, perseverance, and friendship—virtues that will serve them for a lifetime.
Our Athletics Philosophy
The goal of our Athletic Department is to foster an environment that enables student athletes to be coached in the intricacies of their individual sport, in addition to learning the values and lessons closely associated with the classical Christian educational experience.
Our ethos is one of competitive participation by all Cambridge students in at least one sport a year. From our dedicated and caring coaches, Cambridge student-athletes learn sport specific skills, as well as enduring virtues such as sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, commitment, critical thinking, determination, and self-discipline, all while setting and obtaining individual and team-established goals. We believe that students’ involvement in athletics deepens favorable habits, social attitudes, self-discipline, confidence, and self-esteem.
Cambridge coaches share a passion for Jesus Christ, in addition to a passion for their sport. Our coaches are intentional about incorporating the gospel into each sport, recognizing how the Christian faith can be made manifest through athletics. The end goal for each Cambridge coach is not only to produce competent and competitive athletes and teams, but to foster strong relationships rooted in discipleship.
