We are the Panthers!
The purpose of VCS athletics is to play, perform and cheer in such a way that produces competitive teams while also challenging students to grow in their relationship with Christ both on and off the field of play.
Students have a unique opportunity through the sports programs at VCS that differs from those found elsewhere. Athletes can be assured that they have a coach that cares about their personal and spiritual development as much as their on the field performance. Mentorship is valued in our programs at VCS and we trust the lessons learned in being a student/athlete will help guide them throughout their adult life.
The VCS track and field program will always hold a special place in my heart because of the way it taught me to value teamwork and to enjoy every little moment of the sport. Doing track and field at VCS was unique because of the way our team really loved God which helped me grow in my desire to want to glorify God with everything I accomplished in the sport! – Julia Hayes, Alumn
High School
VCS participates in the WIAA-1B League offering fall, winter, and spring sports based on the current interest of students, participation level and population of students. Currently, we offer cross country, volleyball, basketball, cheerleading, knowledge bowl, and track.
Students that attend VCS may participate in their local school select sport if VCS does not offer the sport they are interested in allowing them a unique opportunity to find success at the local school level.
Junior High School
We offer three seasons of sports for our junior high students. In the fall we offer cross country and volleyball, winter we offer basketball and in the spring we offer track. We do our best to give them the skills needed to prepare them to be a success at the high school level.
