Introduction

Athletics at St. Peter Lutheran School exists as a part of the Christian training, which finds its purpose in God’s Word, where we are commanded to maintain our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You

are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

Athletics afford students the opportunity to do just that. Being Christian participants, we must also remember that at all times the Christian’s life is to be one in which he glorifies God.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31)

This attitude should be demonstrated by all people involved in our athletic program: players, coaches, parents, and fans, so that above all, God is glorified. With these thoughts in mind, it is important that our athletic programs are conducted in a consistent, orderly, and God pleasing manner. As a proud member of Fox Valley WELS Athletic League we are also subject to the policies and decisions that govern this organization. We ask that you carefully note and help maintain all of the guidelines, as adopted by our administration.
