OUR MISSION

Silverbackz Athletics Association seeks to teach every student-athlete the discipline required to build Christian character, develop a sense of community, and to foster excellence in education, teamwork, and leadership through athletics and events.  Brokenness exists in every area of life, including sport.  We believe there is a remedy to the brokenness of the world in the gospel of Jesus.  Athletes are hurting both personally and as part of sport-culture.  SAA wants to get them to a place of comfort in the atmosphere of healing through athletics.

OUR FOUCUS

We believe in winning on and off the court.  SAA in snot just about gaining skills and abilities for worldly achievements but developing God-like character to become productive adults.  2 Corinthians 4:16-18 says, "Therefore, we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us as eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, which, what is unseen is eternal through Jesus Christ."

OUR GOAL

 Having an attitude marked by joy is a choice that we can make regardless of the circumstances brought on by sport. This means choosing to let your relationship with God drive your joy. This brings glory to God by showing him—and others—that your attitude is grounded in something beyond the outcome of a game. Choosing a joyful attitude helps your mental health, keeps you focused on the goodness of God, and gives you opportunities.
