League Sports

CHESS Christian School competes as part of both the Ohio Valley Christian Conference (OVCC) and the Ohio Christian School Athletic Association (OCSAA).

There are three different levels of sports offered at CHESS Christian. Each level is meant to provide the student-athlete with a different perspective and experience. Listed below are the tiers and the functions of each tier.

Elementary - At the elementary level, CHESS Christian aims to provide the student-athlete with an opportunity to begin participating in athletics. The purpose of this level of athletics is to provide a social setting for students to have fun and enjoy the company of their friends while learning the basic skills of a respective sport. CHESS Christian will emphasize the active participation of each student-athlete in preparation for their involvement in athletics at the middle school level.

Middle School - At the middle school level, CHESS Christian will begin to build on the basic skills acquired during elementary participation. Coaches will start to develop the skills necessary in each student-athlete to be competitive at the middle school level. Coaches will also teach student-athletes about character qualities such as perseverance, commitment, positive attitude, work ethic and teamwork as they encounter times in competition that will call for them to exhibit such traits. Lastly, CHESS Christian will emphasize the active participation of each student-athlete in preparation for their involvement in athletics at the high school level.

High School (JV and Varsity) - At the high school level, CHESS Christian will build upon the athletic skills developed at the middle school level while forming teams that excel against elite competition. Coaches will also continue to build on the character development that took place at the previous level. The athletic department seeks to have student-athletes that are not only game changers, but world changers as well. This can be accomplished by teaching athletes about their responsibility not only on a field or court, but more importantly in the classroom and in the community.
