The Athletic Program

    The Athletic Program of Bethany is operated by the Board of Education. All sports activities are part of Bethany Lutheran School and therefore are subject to the general policies of administration and operation of the school.
    Extra-curricular sports are offered to the students of Bethany Lutheran School on an interscholastic level. Interscholastic sports are offered after school hours. Interscholastic sports are offered to the students of grades 5–8. Fourth grade students are eligible for some athletic activities based upon Board of Education approval for that year.
        The Lakeshore Lutheran League (LLL) controls the interscholastic sports that are offered at Bethany.  The LLL is a group of Lutheran schools that plans and coordinates interscholastic sports activities for the students of the member schools. We are subject to certain schedules and rules by virtue of our membership in this league.
     The following interscholastic sports are offered at Bethany:

          Fall
                Volleyball (Girls: Grades 7-8; Grade 6 will be used only if needed.)
                Soccer (Coed: Grades 5-8; This is a club and not governed by the League.)

          Winter
                Basketball (Girls & Boys: Grades 4-8)
                Pom-Pom Squad (Girls: Grades 6-8; Grade 5 will be used only if needed.)

                Track (Girls & Boys: Grades 5-8; This is a club and not governed by the League.)

The number of games and tournaments is controlled by the Lakeshore Lutheran League.

A student may participate in a league sport and a club during the same season.
