Athletics

Bay Pines Lutheran School is a member of the South Atlantic Lutheran School Association (SALSA). This athletic league consists of WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod) and ELS (Evangelical Lutheran Synod) grade schools. We also play local schools in the Pinellas area.

The athletic program is a vital part of our school’s program of Christian education. It helps accomplish these major goals of our school:

  • Students glorify God by developing and using their God-given talents.
  • As Jesus grew “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52), students have opportunities through the athletic program to grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially.
  • Students go with the Gospel by representing their Savior and school with God-pleasing effort and conduct in all athletic activities.
  • Involvement in the athletic program provides opportunities to learn the benefits of responsible team play and cooperation. It provides a vehicle for learning mental and physical self-discipline, loyalty, personal pride, pride in the school, respect for others, and the will to win. It proves that hard work and dedication produce wins not necessarily just in the win-loss column. Participants are encouraged to develop their God-given talents and abilities to their fullest.

Interscholastic athletics provides opportunities for our students in grades 4 - 8 to participate in various sports at developmentally appropriate levels. Students are expected to give glory to God by demonstrating Christian sportsmanship, cooperative play, commitment to the team, and adherence to rules and guidelines as established by each coach. Teaching sportsmanship and fair play is important, as is honing the skills and teamwork of all players. Bay Pines Lutheran School offers the following interscholastic sports:

Fall: Girls Volleyball, Coed Flag Football

Winter: Coed Basketball

Spring: Coed Track and Field, Coed Soccer

All School Cheer Volleyball Basketball Soccer Track
