WELCOME FROM THE NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR: KEITH ROSARY

Through participation in athletics, our goal is to develop Christian character in our student athletes. As a member of an athletic team, students will learn to become better communicators and goal- setters and will be challenged to develop a strong work ethic. The importance of commitment to team, perseverance through adversity, as well as good sportsmanship is also developed throughout our program. Our athletic program offers many opportunities to teach life lessons that are not always available in an academic classroom. Our hearts desire for our coaches is to model Christ-like living, love our students, coach in a positive, enthusiastic manner, and work to make a difference in each student’s life. We are committed to a high standard of excellence. At Trinity, we understand the importance of developing an attitude that would lead our coaches and teams to always give the best of their talents and abilities to honor GOD. Win, lose or tie it is our desire to do so while reflecting grace, humility, and dignity that would reflect Christian character. Winning or losing games is not nearly as important as the manner in which we handle these life situations. Success and failure in a sport may not always be measured by the final score, but rather by always giving maximum effort, having a positive attitude and doing the best we can with our GOD- given abilities. That is the true measure of success in athletics.
