About Us
At Clearwater Christian College, we offer men's and women's sports that compete on regional and national levels. As a result, the athletic program is an integral part of campus student life. No matter the season, there is always a game to be found somewhere; whether on the field, court, ballpark, or even…the green.
Our teams practice hard and compete to win as members of the South Region of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), Division II. While we strive for excellence in all of our athletic programs, we do not believe that winning is our chief goal.
The underlying focus of our athletic program is not the competition itself. We offer a competitive schedule that is intended to bring out the best in every athlete; however, our main desire at Clearwater Christian College is to bring honor to Christ. At CCC, we see our athletic program as a perfect opportunity to glorify God while edifying others in a team atmosphere. Every year, we use our teams as a platform for Christian leadership, Godly testimony, peer discipleship, and effective ministry.
We strongly emphasize discipleship from both a coach-to-player and a player-to-player standpoint. Our coaches invest themselves in their players by not only helping them surpass their personal best in competition, but also in their individual academic fields, their relationships with their teammates, and their personal relationship with God.
Clearwater Cougars are challenged to mentor each other as teammates and be passionate leaders for Christ on our campus. Through utilizing the talents God has given them, the CCC Cougars have an awesome opportunity and responsibility to use sports as a tool to share the Gospel in overseas mission trips and local ministry. |  | Cougar Spotlight
Playing soccer is one of the best decisions I have made at CCC. On the field, Coach Bates pushes us; he challenges us to push ourselves physically and to be spiritually strong. I've learned that I don't just play for myself, or for my coach, or even for my school; ultimately, I have an 'audience of One'.
more...God is the One Who has given me ability - I glorify Him by not wasting it, but by using it to the utmost, and giving Him the credit. Being an athlete at CCC is an incredible platform for a Christian; it presents so many opportunities to meet people, be a testimony, and share the Gospel. |
