Congratulations to our Football, Cross Country, and Volleyball teams for their incredible playoff runs!
Big Valley Christian athletes continue to make us proud through their dedication, teamwork, and faith both on and off the field.
Our #1-seeded Varsity Girls Volleyball team has battled its way to the Section Championship Game vs. Faith Christian. Their journey has been a powerful example of perseverance, discipline, and unity — the result of countless hours in the gym and a shared commitment to glorify God through the game they love.
Our Football team made school history this season, earning a spot in the Bowl Game, hosted at Waterford. Their season has been a story of growth and grit, built on a foundation of passion and brotherhood.
Meanwhile, our Cross Country team is competing at the CIF SJS Sub-Sectionals, continuing a season marked by endurance, consistency, and quiet determination. Each runner has shown what it means to “run the race with perseverance,” representing Christ with humility and heart.
These accomplishments are evidence of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and ultimately, success. But even more, they represent the investment of our coaches and assistant coaches, who faithfully donate their time, talents, and even personal resources to help each player and team develop not just as athletes, but as young men and women of character. Their leadership reminds us that sports are one of the greatest platforms to model Christ-centered excellence.
As Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Our teams have lived out that verse this season — believing in what could be achieved long before the scoreboard or standings showed it.
While we celebrate these milestones, our goal remains the same: to grow better each day — not just in performance, but in purpose as well. Our hope is in Jesus, and through Him, we move forward, striving to honor the One who gave us our abilities, our opportunities, and our strength.
Let’s continue to cheer on our Lions as they compete with passion, humility, and faith.
Go Big Blue!
Go Lions!

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.
Have you seen our 12 Award Wall?
Have you seen our 12 Award Wall?
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!
