ACS Football Philosophy

Athens Christian football players are encouraged always to keep the various elements of their school experience in perspective. In other words, Christ-like qualities and academics are first priority, but we are not slow to encourage participation in extracurricular activities while striving for excellence in all that we do. We make no apologies for playing to win, but playing LIKE winners is even more important. The key to our success in this regard is that we, as a staff, set a good example. As coaches we strive to instill the highest ideals of Christianity, including the character traits of integrity, fair play and respect for others. We believe that these aspects of athletics are the most important parts of the learning process, and that our student athletes, when the game is over, have given the most of themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. This being the case, the outcome of the game follows as a matter of course. The students who can truthfully say that they gave everything during the competition are the real winners each and every time.
