At Valor Christian School International (VCSI), athletics isn’t just about competition; it’s about character, community, and living out our faith. We believe sports can mold young lives, instilling lessons of integrity, discipline, and teamwork that extend far beyond the scoreboard. Whether it’s hitting the court, the track, or the field, every VCSI student-athlete represents more than just themselves – they carry the heart of our school and the pride of their families.
Our athletic programs span from kindergarten through 12th grade, fostering growth at every level. Whether your child is just learning the ropes or competing at a high level, they’ll find a team that challenges them, builds their confidence, and prepares them for life both on and off the field. From sharpening motor skills to developing leadership qualities, we see sports as a launchpad for personal success, and we’re here to fuel that journey.
Join us on the field, court, or course as we train champions who play with purpose. Welcome to the home of the VCSI Knights – where faith and sports unite.
At VCSI, we see athletics as more than a game – it’s a calling. Through every pass, every sprint, and every match, we strive to glorify God in our actions. Our mission is to teach students how to win humbly, lose graciously, and play with integrity, knowing that they represent not only themselves, but their school, families, and faith.
Athletics provides the perfect stage to develop skills that last a lifetime. From setting goals to collaborating with teammates, we believe that sports prepare students for real-world challenges. We see every practice and game as a classroom, where discipline and hard work lead to growth – both in athletic ability and personal character.
And let’s be clear: at VCSI, academics come first. Sports are a privilege, and with that privilege comes the responsibility to balance schoolwork and team commitments. Through this, our students learn the discipline it takes to turn dreams into reality.
At Valor Christian School International, our elementary athletics program is all about fun, growth, and teamwork. Starting as early as kindergarten, students are introduced to a variety of sports that help build foundational skills, boost confidence, and encourage a love for physical activity.
We offer coed teams for soccer, basketball, and volleyball, allowing students in K-6th grade to explore different sports in a supportive, faith-centered environment. The focus is on developing coordination, learning to work as a team, and having fun while staying active. Our youngest athletes gain valuable experience in teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership as they grow both on and off the field.
At this age, we emphasize the joy of participation and the lessons learned through play. It’s about more than winning—students learn to celebrate effort, handle challenges with grace, and be proud of their personal progress.
By engaging in sports at an early age, our students start building the discipline, respect, and team spirit that will serve them well throughout their athletic journeys at VCSI and beyond.

At Valor Christian School International, our middle school athletics program is designed to help students take their athletic skills to the next level while continuing to build character, teamwork, and leadership. With boys’ and girls’ teams in cross country, volleyball, soccer, basketball, track and field, and golf, athletes in grades 6-8 experience more structured training and competitive play.
Middle school is a critical time for developing both athletic ability and personal growth. Our coaches focus on helping students set goals, build discipline, and embrace the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. Athletes learn to navigate the challenges of competition, all while growing in faith and integrity.
While we’re proud of our championship-winning teams—including the 7th/8th grade basketball teams that earned league titles in 2022 and 2024—our program emphasizes more than just winning. We teach students to handle success with humility and setbacks with resilience.
Academics remain a priority, and our student-athletes learn valuable time-management skills, balancing their studies and sports to prepare for high school athletics and beyond.
At Valor Christian School International, high school athletics are where dedication and discipline come together in the pursuit of excellence. Our students compete in cross country, volleyball, basketball, track and field, and golf, proudly representing VCSI in the OSAA (Oregon School Activities Association). Athletes train hard, compete fiercely, and lead by example, both on and off the field.
In high school, the focus shifts to competitive play and personal growth. Our coaches push athletes to hone their skills, set ambitious goals, and develop leadership qualities that will serve them long after graduation. The 2024 season was especially notable, with our boys’ basketball team winning the Valley 10 Division Championship and one of our players earning All-State 3rd Team and Defensive Player of the Year honors.
While our program has a legacy of success, including multiple team championships, the true heart of VCSI athletics lies in playing with integrity and purpose. We teach students that how they compete—through teamwork, sportsmanship, and faith—matters as much as the final score.
With a strong emphasis on balancing academics and athletics, VCSI prepares student-athletes for success in both the classroom and in life.
