Letter from our Athletic Director
Thank you for your interest in UCA Athletics!
Athletics is an integral part of any school. Through athletics, students are able to experience team work, leadership skills, following instructions; as well as experiencing the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. At UCA it is our goal to field competitive athletic teams. We strive to instill respect toward coaches, officials, and our opponents.
It is important for students to see the rewards of their hard work on and off the field or court. Our coaches work to encourage our athletes to give their best efforts at all times.
”Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”
