Welcome to YKCS Eagles Athletics

At YKCS, we strongly value developing well-rounded individuals, prioritizing their spiritual walk with Christ and their academic and personal growth. Providing athletic opportunities for our students offers them the ability to participate in sports in a Christian environment while developing physical and social skills outside the classroom setting. Participating in sports within our region allows the YKCS community to connect and build relationships with those around us.

Having an intentional athletics sports program builds lasting memories, and strong relationships, teaches important life skills, and offers student-athletes a way to bring faith into other components of their lives.

 
Whether on the field, court, or track, our Eagles soar to new heights, embodying the values of perseverance, respect, and sportsmanship.
