❖ Honor – We will show honor to God and to one another through the way we train & compete.

❖ Commitment – We will be committed to our teammates, coaches, and the vision of Gloria Deo Academy.

❖ Leadership – We will strive to be Christ-like leaders on and off the playing court/field.

❖ Calling – We will remember our ultimate calling to live, play, teach, and learn as we remember that we belong to Jesus.
