Athletic Tryouts, Registration & Forms

TIMOTHY CHRISTIAN ATHLETIC INFORMATION FOR 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR 

Thank you for your patience as we work with the Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois State Board of Education, and the Illinois High School Association for approval to begin our athletic seasons this fall and continue during the course of the school year. This information is intended to answer questions about athletics for both Middle School and High School. As we have found out these past few months much of this information is tentative and will depend on approval or the changing of different guidelines by the IHSA and State of Illinois. 

MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS

The middle school is part of the SWAC conference (Aurora Christian, Benjamin, Christian Liberty, Elgin Academy, Harvest Christian, Schaumburg Christian, and Wheaton Christian). The Athletic programs for the 2020-21 season will somewhat mirror the high school season. Schedules are still being worked out but at this time we are hoping to have the following sports:

MIDDLE SCHOOL FALL SPORTS HAVE BEEN CANCELED.  

Middle School Cross Country has been canceled for the year.

Girls Volleyball (7th and 8th grade) will be played in the early spring.

Boys Soccer  (6th-8th grade) will be played in the early spring.

WINTER SPORTS: At this time, middle school cheer (7th and 8th grade), boys basketball (6th, 7th, and 8th grade), and girls basketball (6th, 7th, and 8th grade) will be played.  

SPRING SPORTS: At this time, girls volleyball, boys soccer, girls and boys track (6th, 7th, and 8th grade), girls soccer will be played. 

***Many details regarding actual schedules are still being worked out and are dependent on approval to compete*** 

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Timothy Christian High School is a member of the IHSA and also the MSC (Metro-Suburban Conference).  Members of the MSC are: Aurora Central Catholic, Aurora Christian, Bishop McNamara, Chicago Christian, Elmwood Park, IC Catholic Prep, Ridgewood, Riverside Brookfield, Rosary, St. Edward, St. Francis, Westmont, and Wheaton Academy.  

Recently the IHSA Board announced a modified schedule for 2020-21 school year. Timothy Christian will continue to evaluate the information set forth by the IHSA and will keep you informed with any updates. For more information regarding the new schedules for 2020-21 athletic seasons released by the IHSA click here: https://www.ihsa.org/News-Media/Announcements/ihsa-board-announces-modified-schedule-for-2020-21-school-year
