The King's Academy holds fall, winter, and spring athletic banquets during the school year. The purpose of these banquets is to give coaches the opportunity to recognize the athletic gifts, combined with the spiritual gifts and overall Godly character that the students have shown throughout their respective sports.

Athletes who play B Team or JV sports will receive a certificate of participation. All students who play Varsity sports receive a letter and pin for the sport the first year that he/she is a member of a team. Students receive a bar for additional years on that same team.

Choosing from the following list, coaches give five awards per team:

The Booster club promotes the TKA athletic program by providing volunteers for the concession stand at all home games. We ask that at least one parent who has a child that plays sports sign up to volunteer in the Booster Club activities. (Hebrews 12:1-2)

To participate in any team sport both a SCISA pre-participation health assessment signed by a parent, and a SCISA medical examination form completed and signed by a physician must be turned in before the first practice.

NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) regulates many college athletic programs. The NCAA has established rules on eligibility, recruiting, and financial aid. There are three membership divisions within the NCAA - Division I, Division II, and Division III. Institutions are members of one or another division according to the size and scope of their athletic programs and whether they provide athletic scholarships. The King's Academy qualifies for Division III. If you are planning to enroll in college as a freshman and you wish to participate in Division I or Division II athletics, you must be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. You should plan to start the certification process early -usually the end of your junior year in high school. Contact TKA Guidance Counselor Tina Hicks ( thicks@tkaflorence.com ) or call 843-661-7464 for an application.
