providing a well-rounded and Christ-centered outlet to the athletes of its member schools
The chief goal of the WVCEA athletic tournaments is to glorify God. This is done by providing a well-rounded and Christ-centered outlet to the athletes of its member schools. These tournaments should showcase the abilities of our student-athletes and their God-given abilities. They also provide a valuable, competitive environment to unite our schools and foster school spirit and competitiveness.
WVCEA Athletics allows students to participate in state competitions against other Christian schools. Nine different sports span the school year, with the potential for more sports to be added. Below, you will find a list of our state tournaments and their corresponding dates, along with the necessary forms required by athletic departments.
2022 was the first-ever WVCEA State Golf tournament! Golf returns, with the tournament taking place in October. We look forward to more schools adding this sport in the coming years!
The WVCEA State Volleyball tournament takes place every year on the beautiful campus of Appalachian Bible College in Bradley, WV. 11-man soccer has made its return to the WVCEA, with the matches also taking place the same weekend at ABC. Soccer continues to grow in the WVCEA! These tournaments take place the last weekend in October.
Cross-Country also made its debut in 2022. The first-ever meet, hosted by Victory Baptist Academy, was a great success! We look forward to seeing this sport grow as the WVCEA continues to add to its sports offerings. This year the meet will be held on November 4th at Victory Baptist Academy.
