Our athletics program is an integral part of the overall GPCS program, providing secondary students with opportunities to learn and demonstrate Christian character such as self-discipline, commitment, perseverance, and fairness; to develop athletic skills; and to provide a Christian testimony to other families in the area.
Varsity Program
GPCS currently fields varsity teams for soccer and basketball. Our teams compete in the Maine Christian School Sports League. At the varsity level, teams strive to be as competitive as possible within our philosophy. Coach expectations are higher at this level. There is a greater time commitment (daily) and the possibility of an extended season due to play-offs and tournaments. Playing time will vary depending entirely on skill, attitude, and work ethic. Depending upon numbers of players, varsity soccer may field one coed team.
Middle School Program
We currently have a middle school soccer team (coed, open to students in grades 4 – 8) that plays in the Maine Christian School Sports League. We also have middle school basketball teams that play in local leagues. Sports at the middle school level are foundational and emphasize basic rules and skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Playing time will be as equal as possible but will also reflect skill, attitude, and work ethic.
