Athletics Purpose Statement
Organized team sports provide an opportunity for student-athletes to compete, play, and learn every time they come to practice and play in a game. Aspects of health and character are developed around competition including teamwork, individual goals, cooperation, how to win and lose, confidence, humility, and good sportsmanship. Our athletics program fosters an environment that supports our children in becoming the best versions of themselves.
Announcing the Children’s House Comets and the Compass Navigators
New in the 2023-24 school year, our elementary teams (2nd-5th grades) will now be known as the Children’s House Comets! Our middle school teams (6th-8th grades) will be known as the Compass Navigators and will be joined by teammates from Pathfinder and Greenspire schools!
Volunteer parent coaches are needed for all sports and levels. Please reach out to Julie Boss (julie.boss@tchlearners.org; (248) 535-1713) if you are willing to coach or assist.

To provide sports teams for our students, we NEED volunteer coaches.
Please contact Julie Boss (julie.boss@tchlearners.org or 248-535-1713), if you are willing to coach or help. We do not need expert coaches, just adults who would like to help so that we can have these teams.
