Welcome to Canyon Creek Christian Academy ATHLETICS…

Home of the mighty Cougars 

Where STATE CHAMPIONS are made……….

Athletics programs are offered at Canyon Creek Christian Academy as a part of the ministry that teaches goal setting, accomplishments, teamwork and hard work.  All of these tasks are pursued by our athletic programs offered to our 6^th – 12^th grade student-athletes. 

We offer the following sports for boys: Jr. High and Varsity Football; Jr. High, Junior Varsity and Varsity Basketball; Varsity Soccer; Varsity Golf; JH and Varsity Baseball and Jr. High and Varsity Track. 

Girls' Athletics include Varsity Diving; Jr. High and Varsity Cheerleading; Jr. High, Junior Varsity and Varsity Volleyball; Jr. High and Varsity Softball; Jr. High and Varsity Basketball; Varsity Soccer; Varsity Golf; and Jr. High and Varsity Track.

Although we are very proud of our athletic accomplishments over the last three seasons, we are even more proud of our student-athletes in their academic endeavors beyond the playing field.   CCCA is a great place to receive a college preparatory education while doing it in a Christian setting.  Having won 5 State Championships in the last 4 years (3 - Volleyball) (2 - Football) our programs are very competitive.   Volleyball, Girls Basketball and Softball all came within 1 game of reaching the State Finals last year.  Our Golf, Tennis, Diving and Track programs all made a trip to State in 2010 - 2011

There is no question this is a unique place to be and each of our athletes continue to make it special for the entire school.

To all of our athletic programs, I wish you tremendous success and have another great year in 2011 - 2012.

God is Good!!..........Welcome to the CREEK!!
