SPORTS PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In accordance with the mission of ACA, the Athletic Department endeavors to partner with parents in support of their students by providing opportunities for them to compete in both individual and team sports. Our sports program is designed to cultivate Christ-like character and conduct both on and off the field, giving students opportunities to grow in humility, self-control, discipline, and respect for authority as well as respect for their peers and competitors.
We expect our student athletes to obey the commands to “...Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” and to “...love your neighbor as yourself.”
In Grammar and Logic School, students compete in the Christian Schools Athletic Fellowship (CSAF) league. In Rhetoric School, students compete in the Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship (TCAF). Upon occasion, our 8th grade students may “play up” into the TCAF league. CSAF and TCAF break down their age groupings as follows:
- 4th to 6th - Elementary Teams
- 7th to 8th - Junior High Teams
- 9th to 12th - Junior Varsity and Varsity Teams

CSAF/TCAF Foundation
The primary purpose of CSAF, Inc. is to develop Christ-like character through quality athletic programs, with attention given to fellowship, respect for opponents, playing heartily as unto the Lord, and Christian fun.
In 1980, a small group of Dallas and Fort Worth area schools came together seeking competition in a Christian environment. In the fall of 1984, the first organized schedules were developed and the Christian Schools Athletic Fellowship was founded. From the beginning, CSAF has been unique in offering district- and post-season competitions at the Elementary, Junior High and High School levels.
In the summer of 2004, CSAF became incorporated in anticipation of expanding the high school division into a statewide league. That statewide organization was introduced in the spring of 2005 as the Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship. TCAF now oversees the High School Division in twenty Varsity State Championships and three JV Championships. CSAF continues to oversee the Elementary and Jr. High Divisions in fifteen Junior High Regional Tournaments and seventeen Elementary District Tournaments.
