Teams & Schedules

The Athletic Department makes all attempts to make decisions by 1:00 PM for cancellations or changes. However, inclement weather sometimes allows for the decision to be made earlier. There are also cases when last minute changes will be made due to inclement weather. You will receive a push notification through the MCA app and an email from the head coach.  

On the Teams & Schedules page each team is listed by season. When you choose a team the published schedule will appear and you can click on the event for the address and a link to Google Maps. 

We are blessed to have quality coaches representing Metrolina Christian Academy. Our coaches serve in many different capacities throughout the day and are best reached through email contact. You are able to find their information on the Teams & Schedules page.

Athletic Family Night is a special event hosted by MCA Athletics for all student athletes and parents. This night allows the Athletic Department to share our vision, help develop a proper perspective of athletics, and hear from a guest speaker. All student athletes and at least one parent are expected to attend this event. 

Yes, parents are asked to assist with gate duty and help in concessions. If you are looking for more ways to be involved there may be various opportunities to volunteer for individual teams based on the coach's request. 

The Athletic Department provides high quality uniforms that our student athletes can wear with Warrior pride while competing. When caring for the uniforms there are a few simple steps that can prolong the life of our uniforms:

• Be sure to pretreat all stains quickly.
• Wash in cold water on delicate cycle. 
• Hang all of the uniform to dry.
• Never place the uniform in the dryer. 

The Athletic Department makes every attempt to provide transportation for off-campus activities. When transportation is not provided, the head coach will coordinate with the team for the best solution to transporting the student athletes safely. When transportation is provided busses will depart from the parking lot next to the Upper School Office near the picnic tables.
