At West Hills Christian School, our athletic philosophy centers around developing Christian character in all athletes. We aim to provide opportunities for students to grow through their participation in a variety of team sports, improving individual and team skills through athletic competition. Christian attitudes of fair play and cooperation are taught in conjunction with technical skill training. First and foremost, we strive to glorify God and be a witness to others in both actions and words.
“At West Hills Christian School we are thrilled to be able to provide the opportunity for every single student, whether in kindergarten or in eighth grade, to participate in at least one sport annually. Each athletic team gives our students the chance to grow individually by developing physically, emotionally, and spiritually and as a team by learning cooperation, good sportsmanship, and unity in the body of Christ.

Volleyball is a fall sport open to girls in grades 5th through 8th.
WHCS offers basketball as a winter sport for girls and boys in grades 4th-8th.
We have a strong tradition of excellence in our basketball programs at West Hills Christian and look forward to continuing that tradition with new students and families in the coming years.
4th, 5th and 6th grade teams:
7th and 8th grade teams:
In 7th grade there are no play-offs or end of the season tournament. Each player is expected to see playing time during every contest unless players are not present at practice, attitudes do not meet acceptable standards, there is a lack of effort being shown, or school has been missed. In those instances, the coach may use his or her discretion in awarding playing time. All players will be treated fairly and favoritism will not be shown.
In 8th grade the emphasis shifts to preparation for high school athletics. There is no minimum playing time, and coaches will be responsible for deciding when and if a player enters the competition. It is our goal, if at all possible, for each player to get into the game. Playing time is earned during practices with good effort and hard work. It is also earned in the off season building skills and improving upon fundamentals. There is a postseason tournament and an 8th grade champion is crowned in the MCL.
Track & Field is a spring sport offered to all students in 3rd through 8th grades.
Swim Team is a winter sport offered to all students in kindergarten through 8th grades. The swimming program at West Hills Christian aims to create healthy, happy kids who enjoy exercise. At the same time, we strive to create safety around water, long-lasting friendships, and sustainable exercise habits.
