Many of our founding Principals have retired in the past few years leaving the responsibility of upholding & maintaining their vision to foster Christian thought and practice through sporting events within and between schools with you and me. Many outside the Associations may ask “Why have a Christian Sports Association?” The motto of Covenant Christian School is "All Knowledge through Christ". They state: …..The Christian believes that there are no neutral facts, that everything is related to God and has significance beyond this life. ... Christian education involves every subject of knowledge.. ... Christian education requires a Christian point of view for the whole curriculum; a God-centred program in every department ... A Christian School seeks to be Christian every hour of the school day. www.covenant.nsw.edu.au/why-christian-school.html As sports teachers and coaches we have a unique relationship with our students. We have the opportunity to share our faith with them and show them what it means to be a Christian both on and off the sporting field. By doing this we are not only proclaiming the Kingdom of God but bringing glory & honour to our Lord Jesus Christ. A former coach from Washington Redskins “Vince Lombardi” was famous for his statement: “Winning isn’t the most important thing: it is the only thing” Shortly before Vince Lombardi died he declared: “I wish I’d never said it.
