More than a game.

Westminster’s 10 Athletic Pillars are the foundation of the department and portray what we strive to accomplish through athletics. These key principles are used to guide every decision made by coaches and students alike.

Honor Jesus Christ in all things; He is the most important measure of our success.

Christian character defines who we are; God-honoring behavior, good sportsmanship, and abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco is required.

Thinking about playing a fall sport? From football to cross country, we want to hear our Wildcats roar this fall!

If your student plans to try out for a fall sport, note that he/she will not be allowed to do so unless he/she has had a physical on or after February 1, 2017, and has completed the MSHSAA pre-participation physical evaluation form. On the last page of that form, student athletes and their parents must also acknowledge by signature that they have received the Concussion Packet, as required by MSHSAA. This form must be completed and on file in the nurse’s office no later than Friday, July 28. Contact Sue Haverstick with questions.

 Smart Sports

Westminster’s spring 2016 athletes are living Athletic Pillar #3 – good grades and conduct lead the way. At the conclusion of the fall season, each team averaged a GPA of 3.39 or higher based on the athletes’ first-semester (unweighted) GPAs. They are proving that they are indeed student athletes and using their gifts for God’s glory!
