Athletics
Immanuel offers a variety of extra-curricular sports for students in grades 5-8 and if needed 4th graders. Extra-curricular sports offered will be determined by availability of coaches and number of students. We participate in the Fox Valley Lutheran Athletic Conference. Fees must be paid before the first game. To financially support the program a participation fee will be charged. Immanuel requires a physical examination before any student participates in a sport. The physical is valid for a period of one school year. Proof of family insurance is also required.
Athletics are considered an opportunity to practice Christian principles while using one's physical gifts.
Our coaching staff is committed to excellence on the field/court and demand excellence from their athletes as students, teammates, and Christian competitors. Winning is important - but not as important as HOW they win. An emphasis is placed on winning with humility, losing with grace, and competing with intensity and character.
Believing competitive athletics to be an end result of healthy habits, we purposely teach lessons about and raise awareness of the impact nutrition and overall fitness has on one's performance - on and off the field.
The Junior Varsity (JV) level is offered for students in Grade 6 and below.
The JV level is designed to introduce the student-athlete to the game. Playing time will be close to equal over the course of an entire season, not per game.
Varsity level athletics is offered for students in Grades 7-8, occasionally adding Grade 6 as needed.
Playing time is not guaranteed. Playing time will be determined by ability, attitude, practice behavior, and game situations.
In addition to teaching young students the benefits of team play, sportsmanship, and commitment; our Varsity teams strive to qualify for the Lutheran State Tournament at the end of each season.
