The ACA Department of Athletics provides outstanding opportunities for athletic excellence. Our athletic staff is one of the best in Western North Carolina and our head coaches are respected for their expertise and character. Our teams are very competitive at both local and state levels and many of our athletes have gone on to compete at the collegiate level.
We believe competitive athletics is a vital component of the educational experience at ACA. Our efforts are focused on "building champions!"
Our Mission
The ACA Athletic Department uses the athletic experience to build champions for Jesus Christ in a competitive environment. The ACA athlete strives to win and learn the fundamental principles of discipline, teamwork, determination and love as demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
Champions are:
- Athletes who overcome adversity!
- Athletes who are mentally tough, possess physical grit, and are humble!
- Athletes who have a transcendent cause in their motive!
- Athletes who seek to glorify God in their athletic effort!
- Athletes who own and accept the outcome of competition!
We invite you to get to know us and the "ACA Way" of athletics. Our mission is simple and our philosophy is sound.
Joe Johnson
Director of Athletics
