Athletics Do Not Stop for the Summer
Welcome to our Growing Program
There is a rhythm to life that God has designed — seasons of growth, preparation, rest, and seasons where hard work is revealed. Athletics is no different. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Summer is one of those important seasons.
Success does not begin on game day. Championships are built in the unseen hours through preparation, discipline, sacrifice, and consistency. Some athletes prepare year-round because they understand growth takes intentional work, while others wait until tryouts to begin. The reality is that success or failure is often determined long before the season starts.
Proverbs 21:5 encourages us, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” Diligence matters. The habits we build during the summer will eventually reveal themselves during competition.
Summer should also be a time of rest and recovery — physically, mentally, and spiritually. But for athletes with goals of improving, competing at the next level, or helping build something special within the Lions program, summer is also a season of opportunity. Every workout, practice, early morning, and decision to improve individually strengthens the team as a whole.
Whether you are in the weight room at BVC, on the practice field, in the gym, or simply building relationships with teammates and coaches, those moments matter. The work done in June and July will show itself during the fall, winter, and spring seasons.
At the same time, we trust God with the outcome. Proverbs 16:9, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” We prepare, work hard, and pursue excellence, knowing God is guiding our journey for a purpose greater than wins and losses.
This first year at Big Valley Christian has been an incredible blessing. I am thankful for our athletes, parents, teachers, coaches, and administration as we continue building a program marked by faith, character, accountability, and excellence. But the work is not finished. There are still standards to raise and lives to impact for Christ.
As you head into summer, take time to rest, heal, and enjoy your family. But also remember that God may be preparing you for something greater than you can currently see. Esther 4:14 reminds us, “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Thank you for making my first year at Big Valley Christian one of the greatest blessings of my life. I look forward to seeing many of you throughout the summer.

Athletic Sports Clearance
Are you considering coming out for a Spring season sport? Before you can participate in tryouts, you must complete the online clearance at Home Campus. Both parents and athlete will need to finish the online application and upload your current sports physical. Don't delay! We don't want you to miss out on participating in Lions athletics.
F.A.Q. (Frequently asked Questions) about Athletic Clearances
Want to play a sport at BVCS?
Complete online information and signatures on homecampus.com
Upload your current (within 1 year) sports physical onto homecampus.com
You do not need to turn in any paperwork to the office. It is all done online.
You will receive an email from Home Campus notifying you that you are cleared.
Home Campus does not alert the Athletic Office when you complete your portion of the clearance process.
Please note that we are the ones who manually mark student-athletes as “cleared.” If you do not receive an email confirming your clearance, that means you're not cleared yet.
If you have any questions or believe there’s an error, feel free to contact michellec@bvcs.org to check on your athlete's clearance status
Student-athletes will not be allowed to participate in tryouts, practices, or games until this information is complete and you are cleared.
Does the clearance from last year still work the next year?
No, it does not carry over
If the sports physical has not expired yet and I uploaded it last year, do I have to upload it again this year?
Yes, we cannot see the previous year's documentation. Each year is separate. You can upload that same physical from the previous school year if it is still valid.
If the sports physical expires mid-season, do we need a new physical?
Yes, we are alerted when it expires, and the athlete cannot continue to participate in any physical activity until a new one has been uploaded.
All the athletes on this wall have played 12 sports in their high school career: 3 sports per year for all 4 years in high school. This award is recognized with a lifetime Lions pass that gets you into all Lions home games for free for life and we put your name on this wall to celebrate you. Being a 12 sport athlete is no small feat and requires dedication to sport and to academics to manage that intense load. We are proud of all our 12 sport award winners and challenge you to be one too!
