ATHLETICS

Creston School Athletic Programs are directed toward the student’s growth as an individual – mentally, emotionally, physically, and socially. Athletics should provide:

1. A learning experience.
2. A positive base for character.
3. An understanding of competition, emphasizing sportsmanship and teamwork.
4. An opportunity for all participants to develop and share knowledge and skills appropriate to their level.

Creston School belongs to the Meridian Conference, which consists of the teams from Kings, Steward, Eswood, Cornerstone Christian, and St. Paul of Rochelle.

Competition is conducted in volleyball for 7^th and 8^th grade students. The volleyball coach is Mrs. Leann Thompson. All games are at 4:15.

Competition is conducted in basketball for grades 5 through 8 for both boys and girls. All games are governed by the rules and regulations of the Meridian Conference. Boys’ and girls’ basketball coach is Mr. Dave Bubik.

Creston School also participates in the Meridian Conference Track and Field Events held in the spring of each year. The track team is coached by Mrs. Thompson.

The school mascot name is the Creston Colts, and the school colors are deep purple and white. Students, parents, and friends are welcome to attend games and support the athletes.

Admission to home games is set by the conference at $1.00 for students (K-8) and $2.00 for high school/adult, and our senior citizens are welcome without charge.

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY – GRADES 4-8
