JCS Athletic Program
Mike Baisden, JCS Athletic Director

ACSM Certified Personal Trainer
The philosophy of athletics at JCS is to provide a medium by which our students can glorify Jesus Christ through athletic competition. Our goal is to teach principles of courage, discipline, cooperation, commitment, sportsmanship, respect for others and grace and humility in victory or defeat.
Every student makes the team in JCS Middle School sports as our program emphasizes participation. Junior Varsity athletics builds on participation and focuses on further skill development. Tryouts begin at the Junior Varsity level. Varsity squads seek to build on participation and skill development to put together a winning unit.
Athletic Handbook
Parents of JCS athletes are required to attend a parent meeting each fall and read and follow the policies of the Athletic Handbook.
MHSAA Physical Form
Prior to the beginning of the season, all Middle School and High School students must have a required MHSAA Sports Physical Form on file.
Athletic Booster Club
Our Booster Club keeps the athletic program strong by raising money through gate receipts, concession sales and fundraising activities.
Sports Offered at JCS
There are athletic opportunities for all students including Elementary intramurals, Middle School sports and High School sports.
JCS Athletic Booster Club
The Jackson Christian Athletic Department budget exceeds $90,000 annually. The Athletic Department is not funded through tuition dollars. Gate receipts, concession sales and fundraising activities keep the athletic program strong.
JCS Booster activities make a huge difference. The Jackson Christian Athletic Booster Club helps raise money for athletics by organizing a community of families to work together at a variety of sporting events. Our goal is to help our athletic department and students be successful and this is a great opportunity to help JCS be the best it can be!
VOLUNTEER HOURS
Parent involvement in Booster Club activities helps to fulfill Parent Volunteer Hours. For example, running the concession stand is fun and offers countless opportunities to volunteer in the evening when it is most convenient for working parents. See the partial list below of Booster volunteer opportunities.
ROYAL SPIRIT WEAR
School spirit wear is available from the "Booster Box" on the MS/ HS Campus and at some home games. Parents are notified throughout the year when large orders are placed. A special order opportunity is available prior to Christmas each year.
