OUR MISSION

Silverbackz Athletics Association seeks to teach every student-athlete the discipline required to build Christian character, develop a sense of community, and to foster excellence in education, teamwork, and leadership through athletics and events.  Brokenness exists in every area of life, including sport.  We believe there is a remedy to the brokenness of the world in the gospel of Jesus.  Athletes are hurting both personally and as part of sport-culture. 


OUR FOCUS

We believe in winning on and off the court.  SAA in snot just about gaining skills and abilities for worldly achievements but developing God-like character to become productive adults.  2 Corinthians 4:16-18 says, "Therefore, we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
