At the end of each season, a banquet is held to honor all of our teams, players and coaches where awards for each individual team are handed out along with any league honors and championships.

All students must have a valid physical on file with the school prior to participating on any sports team. Physicals are good for one year. Health updates, completed by the parent, are required for physicals that are more than 30 days old. These updates must be signed by school medical personnel (school nurse) before being allowed to participate. This process is mandated by the State of New York.

Our Athletic Facilities:

Our CCA Athletic Facilities are some of the finest in our league. In 2004, the 1.6 million dollar Emmanuel gym was built. All of our sports use our gymnasium in training our athletes and teams to compete at a high level.

In addition to the gym, our Athletic Facilities include:
* Wellness Center: Located upstairs on the mezzanine overlooking the Emmanuel gym
* Bob Kiekbusch Soccer Field: With in-ground irrigation system
* Multi-purpose Enclosed Court: For tennis, pickleball, and basketball

Awards and Recognition:

To accomplish our athletic program’s Vision of having its athletes set a Christ-like example of Excellence in Character and Athletics, CCA has implemented the program Cross Training Athletics into all of its sports teams.

Cross Training Athletics’ credo is: “Training the Heart of a Champion from the Inside Out.”
The program exists to passionately build a “character culture” for all of its teams. “Character is the key to your success and lies in the Heart of a complete athlete. What their heart believes is the driving life force of every Champion!”

Weekly Character Award Winners are displayed on our Character Athletes of the Week wall.
At the end of each athletic season, an Overall Character Athlete is awarded to one male and one female athlete.
