ICS ATHLETICS

 

ICS Athletics Mission

Intermountain Christian School Athletics exists to create opportunities for student-athletes to glorify God through competitive excellence.

The Experience

At ICS, we understand the critical role athletics plays in a student’s education experience. We believe sports help students learn life skills such as leadership, perseverance, and resilience. It's an essential part of the ICS experience that aids in the holistic development of our students.

True Victory is in Christ

Moreover, we believe that true victory lies not in the final score but in honoring and glorifying God in all our efforts. Christian values are the core of our athletic program, as we encourage our students to grow in their faith, strive for excellence, show respect for all, and build lasting relationships through sports.

Small School Advantage

Being part of the private school athletics program at ICS offers unique benefits. With personalized coaching, players experience individual development and accelerated growth as athletes. Due to the smaller student body, more students play and showcase their skills. The close-knit community fosters camaraderie, lasting friendships, and a healthy culture of integrity and Christian character.
