Athletic Values
Practice What is Beautiful
ACA believes that practice makes permanent. Therefore beautiful practices make permanent beauty. We want our students to practice movement, teamwork, and loving their neighbors
in the classroom and within the sports teams they join.
Strive for Excellence
Our students learn through athletics that excellence is a habit born out of practice, and therefore they strive to imitate the coaches, mentors, and teachers who model excellence.
Live for the Glory of God
We strive to create student athletes who do everything for God’s glory. We are image bearers of God and therefore we represent a God who is full of power, knowledge, and love. We want our students to love their teammates and opponents with patience, kindness, and humility.
“Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. ”

How Can ACA Students Compete in High School Athletics?
Augustine Classical Academy is building its own high school athletics program. Until our teams are fully established, Colorado state law provides a way for ACA students to play sports at neighboring schools.
What Does This Mean for ACA Students?
If ACA does not offer a specific high school sport, your student can play that sport at another school while remaining enrolled at ACA.
Under Colorado law (C.R.S. § 22-32-116.5), students whose school does not offer a sport may participate at:
A public school in their home school district.
A nearby public school (if their home district does not offer the sport).
A nonpublic school, if that school agrees to accept the student.
Requirements and Expectations
School Standards: Students must meet the host school’s academic, behavioral, attendance, and practice requirements.
Fees: Host schools may charge non-enrolled students a participation fee up to 150% of the fee charged to their own enrolled students.
Tryouts and Cuts: Participation is subject to the host school's tryout process. Playing at another school does not guarantee a roster spot if the sport makes cuts.
CHSAA Rules: Students must meet all state athletic association (CHSAA) eligibility guidelines and complete their online registration before tryouts.
How It Works in Practice
If an ACA student wants to compete in a sport ACA does not offer, the student’s family works with ACA Athletics to find the right host school and submit the necessary forms.
Note: This is not a school transfer. The student remains fully enrolled at ACA and simply represents the host school on the field or court.
In addition, CHSAA permits cooperative athletic programs, where two or more schools combine student bodies to field a single team (such as for lacrosse, swimming, or boys volleyball).
Our Goal
This is a temporary solution. As ACA grows, our goal is to offer our own teams, coaches, facilities, and leagues so ACA students can compete for ACA.
Next Steps
If your student wants to play a sport ACA does not currently offer, please contact ACA Athletics (athletics@augustineclassical.org) before registering with another school. We will help you find the correct school, guide you through CHSAA registration, and ensure all requirements are met.
