Trinity High School Athletics Athletic Participation Form: '06-'07
When the time is right we plan to join the NCISAA – North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association. We must first join a conference to be eligible for NCISAA membership, which requires that we field a varsity team in at least one sport for each gender in all three seasons. We might reach this goal in our second year (07-08), but it is much more likely that in our third year (08-09) our program will have expanded to the point where we qualify for NCISAA. As we grow, different sports may field different levels of teams. For example, we may have a MS volleyball team and a varsity volleyball team in the 2nd or 3rd year. Within a few years, we would be able to add the junior varsity team in to complete the program. Golf and cross country, on the other hand, are only offered as varsity sports in high school. In summary, our different sports will progress and mature at different paces, as the nature of the sport and the interest level of the student body dictate.
We invite any interested parent to come talk to our Athletic Director, Sue Eckstein, or any of our coaches, about our current programs, our passion for sport, our values as a Christian school seeking serious competition, or any particular questions you may have about athletics. We are well aware of the challenges of launching a high school athletic program, but we are very excited. Trinity’s current athletic program has grown from scratch back in 1999 into a vibrant and healthy middle grades program. We are committed to seeing that same level of excellence and enthusiasm in our high school program, and we are excited to take Trinity sports to the next level. Go Lions!!

As we begin Trinity High School in 2006-07, we are planning for volleyball, boys’ and girls’ soccer to be teams comprised of 6th - 9th graders. The basketball teams may have enough players to be a junior varsity team, but it is more likely that they will be middle school teams as well. The cross country and track teams will compete in both varsity and 9th grade competitions, depending upon availability. We plan for the golf team to compete at the varsity level, as well as at middle school. Swimming, baseball and lacrosse will continue to be supported as club teams.
The athletic program will be developed according to the numbers of participants and skill level in each sport and within the parameters set by the NCISAA. We may have a few limitations due to small numbers, but we will also have many opportunities. The Trinity School Athletic Department is excited about creating the programs and providing the opportunities.
