ATHLETICS
College Park Academy created the hashtag #smallbutmighty to describe our athletic department. While small in size, CPA Athletic teams are determined, powerful, and committed to success both on the field and off. We recognize that sports provide an effective opportunity for students to learn skills needed for athletic success such as teamwork, communication, and commitment, which are all valuable for success in life as well.
CPA Athletics offers basketball and volleyball for boys, girls, high school, and middle school students. Our interscholastic teams compete in sports games with surrounding schools, providing our students the opportunity to participate in friendly competition and exercise while developing their team-building skills, creating strong social bonds, and developing their hobbies and interests outside of academics. CPA hopes to offer soccer in Spring of 2022, and soon after, cross country and track and field based on student interest surveys and faculty coaching capabilities.
Though our athletic teams are small, in 2019 both volleyball and basketball teams went to playoffs. Our students’ attitude of determination and ambition extends beyond academics and it’s clear in our sports teams. College Park Academy students work with each other and push themselves physically and mentally to deliver the best sport performance they are capable of. Early 2020, CPA had our first scholarship signing for a Varsity Volleyball player who will be attending West Virginia Wesleyan with a full scholarship in fall 2020.
As CPA grows, our athletic department will continue to grow, allowing students to flourish in their athleticism, team-building, and leadership.
