Welcome to the home of the championship-winning Knights!
Together — with parents like you — our athletics program helps teens seek excellence, develop resilience and learn to lead with character and humility.
Our accomplished coaches are committed to teaching and modeling how to be servant leaders, on and off the playing fields. They work with your teen to improve their free throws and to be prepared when life throws them curveballs.
We’re proud of our successful program, and we’re especially proud of the teamwork and character-building it took to get us here. We know that those lessons, friendships and memories will last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know selecting the right athletic program for your family is a big decision, and we’re sure you have questions.
Let’s get started with these:
Athletes earn their playing time by putting in effort at practices and showing a good attitude during training. Your teen must also be in good academic standing in order to play. Grades are checked every three weeks, and students must have no more than two D’s.
Our coaches are committed Christians who have a heart for encouraging athletes. Coaches lead students in prayer before practices and often share Bible verses and devotions. Like all school employees, coaches are experienced and have undergone background checks to ensure the safety of your teen.
Your teen will need to try-out for teams. If selected, a sports physical is needed and parents must complete required forms.
GCA offers a first-class athletic complex. Your teen will have access to lighted playing fields, a weight room and locker rooms. All fields and the gymnasium are monitored by security cameras and have equipment to livestream all home games. Our golf team practices and plays all home matches at Ironwood Country Club.
Athletic fees vary depending on how many sports your teen participates in. Fees are explained in more detail in our athletic handbook.
Over 20 athletic teams compete in the North Carolina Christian School Association, including baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, soccer, shooting skills team, volleyball, and golf. Click on any sport to learn more.

What makes you fulfilled as an athletics director?
“I feel fulfilled by working with the young people and seeing them grow, be stretched, and be successful. It’s about the students.”
“The athletic program at GCA has been a blessing
for Alex since middle school. It has enabled him to learn leadership and team building skills that he doesn’t even realize will be key to his future success in any endeavor he chooses. From the highest of highs (state championship) to some lows, Alex has learned about character and how we respond to adversity is just as important as how we respond to good fortune. The athletic program is well run and is comprised of people who pour into the kids, and I am thankful for them.
