Athletics develops character
Minnehaha's athletic tradition and talent produce winning teams under the guidance of coaches who are Christian role models - a fact that gives our students a "character counts" perspective on team sports. Teams and coaches consistently say, "Our faith brings us together and keeps us close. We're very competitive, but win or lose, Christ remains our common bond." Within this environment, students find many opportunities for leadership and making close friends.
As a member of the Tri-Metro Conference, the Redhawks regularly compete for conference and district titles in many sports. Minnehaha Academy has 26 varsity sports and 75% of our student body participate.

Athletic Mission Statement
At Minnehaha Academy, our athletic program reflects our commitment to love and serve God with every part of our being – heart, soul, strength, and mind – and to serve others as ourselves.
Believing that athletic competition can teach participants many positive values that cannot always be learned in classroom settings, we are committed to teaching the values of hard work, commitment, dedication and discipline through a strong athletic program. We seek to challenge each individual athlete to perform at his or her maximum level and to grow mentally, spiritually, and physically through individual effort, competition, and teamwork.
Our desire is that our athletes will compete with a level of character, intensity, enthusiasm and sportsmanship that is consistent with the Christian faith.
