At TDA, the high value we place on our athletics program reflects our philosophy that we learn about aspects of the Lord in everything we do, including sports. Teamwork, camaraderie, winning well, losing well, and working hard, all help shape our character.
At younger levels we give every student opportunities to practice, excel and compete in a variety of sports. Our older students also play competitively and learn how to work together, practice hard and encourage one another.
Athletics are another great vehicle to teach life lessons about leadership, teamwork, servanthood, respect, and more. Participating in various sports and athletic activities give students practice in how to deal in a godly way with winning and losing, relationships and honoring one another.
