A Note From The Athletic Director:

Welcome to Athletics at CSCA

I would like to welcome you on behalf of the athletic department at Coral Springs Christian Academy. We strive to provide a Christ Centered, competitive atmosphere where success is defined as knowing you’ve done your best for the good of the team. We believe extracurricular activities are a privilege and that student athletes should be held to a high standard. Sportsmanship, selflessness and service to others are values that are stressed on every level of athletics at CSCA. We offer 14 varsity level sports, as well as, junior varsity and middle school level sports. Our athletic program is fortunate to have enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in a short period of time as ten of the fourteen varsity sports have won at least one individual or team district championship. We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for CSCA athletics in the future.

  • May 7: Varsity Baseball:  Regional Finals @ Florida Christian, Friday May 10th; 7:00pm:   CSCA Crusader Fans,

The Varsity Baseball team would like to thank all of you who showed up to support us in our Regional Games here at CSCA. We are proud to have advanced to the Regional Final, but are focused on 2 great days of practice and the opportunity that lies ahead on Friday night: a chance to advance to states with a victory. Our Game will be at Florida Christian School in Miami at 7 PM on Friday the 10th.  

We would love to pack the stands and show Miami the same school spirit we did when the Basketball team made its run in February. The game is about 44 miles from CSCA and is probably an Hour Drive. I would encourage everyone who is going to leave around 5:15, 5:30 as there is limited bleacher space at Florida Christian.

If you are a student and are interested in a fan bus, please see Mrs Emmets in the Upper school office by lunch time tomorrow. It will be $10 to ride the bus, and admission to the game is $7. If you are not interested in the Bus, find a way down there. We love and cherish the support of all of our students, parents, alumni and staff. We'll see you there on Friday.

Here is the address to the school: Florida Christian School 4200 SW 89th Ave Miami, FL 33165 (click link below)

Thanks in Advance for your Support,

Coach Cleveland
