New Hope Academy’s athletic programs are designed to support students striving for personal excellence and a balance between academics and athletics. NHA’s athletic vision provides a broad array of athletic programs, available for all ages (3-19 years), and abilities.
NHA’s strong character education program aligns well with the fundamental skills needed for academic and athletic success and leads to a fulfilling life. The skills necessary for success include self-discipline, resilience, perseverance and grit, commitment to the team, cooperation, clear communication, good sportsmanship, ability to focus, and time management.
New Hope Academy offers varsity, recreational, and elective sports programs for students of all ages. Sports vary from year-to-year, based on student interests and an adequate level of participation needed to field a team. In past years, we have offered sports ranging from track, soccer, basketball, T-Ball, flag football, golf, tumbling, volleyball, tennis, and cheerleading, as well as martial arts, yoga, personal fitness, and a variety of dance classes.
Our Athletic Director, Shaun Houston, has ambitious plans to create a program that will address the needs of students of all ages and skill levels. Working closely with the coaching staff, the program will focus on developing the student's skills and fostering a love of the game. The New Hope Varsity students program and Youth Programs will welcome new coaches for the fall of 2023-24.
NHA believes in developing our youth into student athletes with good character and strong academic qualifications providing them with more possibilities for their future. Athletes who have an aptitude and a passion for the game will have opportunities for more competitive play and to explore potential college scholarships.
