Bangor Christian Schools Athletics competes in the Maine Principals Association Class D/C in the Penobscot Valley Conference at the high school level and competes in the Penobscot Valley Middle League (PVML) for all Middle School athletic programs. BCS Athletics partners with John Bapst Athletics in co-operative teams of sports that are not offered at our school, including 11-man Football, Ice Hockey, Swimming/Diving and Lacrosse. The athletic department also conducts seasonal developmental peewee sports programs for elementary students.
Bangor Christian Schools’ goals for the athletic programs are centered on the students' needs for physical and spiritual growth. We strive to maintain a program that is sound and furthers each student's educational and spiritual maturity.
The primary goals are to develop in each student athlete self-discipline, respect for authority, and a spirit of hard work and sacrifice. The objectives for meeting those goals include the following:
- Striving to win. We do not always win, but we succeed when we continually strive to win. We aim to excel.
- Sportsmanlike conduct. We must accept winning and defeat like true sportsmen, knowing we have done our best. We must learn to treat others - coaches, players, officials - as you would have others treat us. We need to develop desirable social traits, including emotional control, honesty, cooperation, and dependability.
- Improving skills and attitudes. Continual improvement is essential to good citizenship and our Christian walk. Athletes must establish a goal and constantly try to achieve that goal.
