The Eagles Gymnastic Team's goal is to testify of the physical and moral benefits of a Christian lifestyle through fitness. It aims to represent the University in such a way that it will attract many prospective students. Its members strive to maintain excellence in gymnastics while they develop good and healthful physical, mental and spiritual habits. The team encourages preaching and worship through gymnastics.
Each semester students participate in intramural games in basketball, volleyball, and soccer. These games are held after classes during late afternoons and evenings. At the end of the semester a special assembly is held where winners for the semester receive their trophies.
The student olympics is one of the highlights of the school year. This event is organized by the Student Council and takes place during the second semester. Academic departments choose their best athletes to compete in sports such as swimming, basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, ping-pong, bowling, a two or four mile mini marathon race and other games.
An annual one-day event held at the beach where students compete in volleyball and other water and sand sports. A wonderful time to get a good suntan and strengthen friendships.
