The Athletics Department of the King’s Academy provides a championship quality program committed to offering each student a full range of athletic opportunities while enrolled.  Like their namesake, the TKA Lions are fierce competitors, exhibiting superior athleticism while adhering to the moral code of good sportsmanship. To be a TKA Lion is to be part of a rich tradition of top-tier athletes who have achieved great success both on and off the playing field. The King’s Academy is home to state-of-the-art training facilities dedicated to the cultivation of student athletes,  a multi-sport training complex, softball field and a soccer field. TKA looks forward to adding to the winning tradition of the TKA Lions by helping students develop their athletic abilities.

All students are encouraged to be actively involved in the athletic program throughout the year. The small size of the school provides an excellent environment for student athletes who otherwise may not be able to participate in larger schools. There are also positions for statisticians, student-managers, and student trainers. 

Excellence in Effort

We challenge every athlete to give their very best in practice, in games, and in life.

Christ-like Character

Sports at TKA emphasize humility, integrity, and respect for others.

Teamwork & Leadership

Athletes learn how to lead and serve, both on and off the field.

Healthy Competition

We pursue victory with humility, remembering that character lasts longer than the scoreboard.

Elementary School

Athletics at the elementary level are about learning the fundamentals of teamwork, movement, and sportsmanship. Students participate in PE classes, fun competitions, and intramural activities that give them a taste of what it means to be a Lion athlete. Our goal is to help children develop a love for physical activity while grounding them in Christlike attitudes and respect for others.
