Orangewood empowers student-athletes to compete with character and serve on and off the field. They discover the importance of effort, attitude, relationships, and glorifying God through every practice and game.
Teamwork, Effort, Discipline
Our goal is to provide our students the opportunity to compete in high level programs where they can boldly live out their faith, play with freedom, and use their God-given talents for His glory.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
