The Agape Christian Academy Athlete Code of Conduct & Eligibility form outlines the Biblical standards, behavioral expectations, eligibility requirements, and communication guidelines for student-athletes. It emphasizes Christlike character on and off the field, academic accountability, and respectful engagement with coaches, teammates, and the broader community.

2025-26 Participation Fees

The 2025-26 Athlete Fees are $185.00 for a full-time Agape student/$250.00 for a part-time and/or homeschool student. To better connect our teams and support the program enhancements we are also asking a member of the athlete's family to volunteer.

Note: Girls Flag Football is free of charge and does not require volunteer responsibilities for the 2025-26 season.

Boys Flag Football fees are paid directly to the Geauga County Flag Football league. Registration can be found here: Boys Flag Football Registration

All fees and paperwork must be completed prior to the first game or the student cannot participate. This fee is waived for coaches if their child is playing on the team or for the team’s designated parent representative.

Overview

Agape Christian Academy (ACA) expects students to live by Biblical standards. God’s Word tells us to be wise (Eph 5:15) and to conduct ourselves with wisdom, especially toward outsiders (Col 4:5). As ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor 5:20), our behavior needs to reflect Christ both on and off campus.

Students and the Administration should respect all school property as stewards of God’s creation. Students are expected to respect school authority (Rom 13:1-2) and show respect toward the administration, faculty, staff, and fellow students. They should set the example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity (1 Tim 4:12), reflecting wisdom from above and personal holiness (James 3:17-18).

ACA encourages students to initiate personal confession and to seek forgiveness and repentance whenever this code is violated. When a student and/or parent comes forward for help, the administration will extend appropriate grace and support (Gal 6:1-2, 2 Cor 1:12).

Unity among believers is vital for making Christ known to the unsaved world (John 17:21-23). We are committed to our relationship with Jesus Christ first, followed by our relationships with one another. This ACA Code of Conduct aims to foster such unity within the school.

Athlete Code of Conduct

As Ambassadors for Christ…

• Respect toward officials, players, and coaches is expected. Inappropriate language or conduct in the classroom or on the athletic field will be dealt with by the Principal, Athletic Director, and/or coaches.
• “I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship” (Romans 12:1)
• “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)
• “Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.” (1 Peter 1:15)
• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” (James 1:22)
• “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:24)
• “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:3-4)
• “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31)
• “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:1-2)
• “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.” (Romans 15:7)
• “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (Ephesians 4:29)

As Student Athletes…

• We will treat other team members, coaches, parents, and members of other schools (team, coaches, parents, etc.) with love and respect.
  “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” (1 John 4:7)
• We will participate in every game, practice, drill, and conditioning with all our hearts.
  “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (Colossians 3:23-24)
• We will listen and obey our parents, coaches, teachers, and student leaders.
  “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.” (Titus 3:1-2)
• We will persevere through challenges as a team.
  “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Why is there a volunteer or donation requirement? Each family is asked to support our athletic program by selecting one volunteer activity or making a donation. The desire is for Agape Athletics to be something for the entire family and the Agape community. When we participate together we become invested in the outcome. That is seen by our athletes and visiting teams. Please make your selection below before submitting your registration.
