Carrying on the Promise
Thank you for investing in the hearts and minds of our students!
“It is our goal to live out the truth of Christianity in every aspect of our lives, including athletics.“
– DMCS Athletic Philosophy
Our junior high athletes have a lot of choices in the fall. We offer co-ed soccer (6th-8th), girls volleyball (6th-8th), and co-ed cross country (5th-8th). These seasons start the second week of school and go through mid-October, with a conference tournament to end the season. We also offer a short baseball season that primarily practices in the summer and has a few games once school starts.
With the winter season comes basketball. Our 6th-8th grade boys have three teams – their season starts in mid-October and finishes before Christmas break.
The 6th-8th grade girls also have three teams and play from January through February.
Our cheerleading team practices and performs during the boys season; this allows the girls to cheer and then play basketball when their season comes after Christmas break.
We also have a parent-led 5th grade intramural program where the boys and girls meet together a few weekends to focus on their skills and work together!
DeMotte Christian’s spring sports start with a short boys volleyball season for our 7th and 8th graders that runs from late February through spring break in mid-March.
After spring break, our 6th-8th graders have the opportunity to compete in co-ed track and field which extends through early May.
In addition to competing against local public schools, DeMotte Christian is a member of the Chicagoland Christian Junior High Athletic Association. This conference has the objective of competing against one another while still prioritizing the goals of honoring and praising God.
