ATHLETICS
Gilkey’s sports program began with an exuberant yet inexperienced group of girls interested in basketball. The Gilkey Eagles have grown to five sports and eight teams, serving more than 125 athletes. Our mission is to complete the circle of education; that is, exercise and competition as a part of the intellectual experience. Our goal is for all students to become physically active for life and to that end we strive for inclusiveness and sportsmanship.
Competitive teams generally meet three times per week for games or practices. A fee is collected for each sport to pay coaches, referees, and equipment. Most teams require a uniform which may be purchased at the school.
The teams compete in the Metro Christian League (MCL), an organization comprised of a number of independent middle schools. The sports program strives to include all participants, thus, teams are formed on a first-come, first-served basis.
