Club Sports at ACA – Qualifications

Club sports are teams that are self-funded and run by an ACA faculty or staff member and a parent volunteer. This means that field space, uniforms, practice schedules, and games are run by an ACA faculty sponsor and parent volunteer, outside of the Athletics department. No discounts will be offered for club sports.

As of now, our official school sports offerings for the 2024-2025 seasons are set. However, you can submit your request to be considered as a sports club for the 2025-2026 school year. If you would like to submit your suggested sport to be considered for a club, please follow the below instructions. All sports club submissions must be made by January 15, 2025 for the 2025-2026 school year.

Submit the following details:

  • Find a Faculty or Staff member to sponsor and coach the club (note: this is fully facilitated outside of the Athletics department).The faculty and staff sponsor will be responsible for:
    • Working with Coach Reed to coordinate field space, purchase uniforms, and organize practices and games via Teamsnap.
    • Set the sports fee that will cover the cost of the club, this includes field cost, uniform cost, coach stipend, and league fee. 
  • Once a faculty and staff sponsor has been identified and agreed to these responsibilities, please formally submit their name and club sport request to acaathletics@atlantaclassical.org

Philosophy of Athletics

Athletics will provide a vehicle by which to teach student-athletes to become virtuous citizens. Atlanta Classical will maintain proper management of a community in which every individual recognizes his or her particular role and performs his or her own task as part of a properly functioning community. Students and coaches will set goals and adhere to them even when faced with obstacles. Students will learn that sport requires courage. The spirit of sport is challenge: the greater the challenge, the greater the victory. During competition, student athletes must remain courteous and honest. They must retain the ability to treat others with honor and civility as well as enjoying the game for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, and respect. By doing so, we will adhere to all governing organizations’ rules and regulations. Student-athletes will also become students of the game in which they are participating. They will gain a life-long appreciation for the game as well as learn how to set and assess realistic goals.
