Participation on Non-Mount Paran Christian Teams

Athletes may wish to participate on a travel or club team while participating on an MPC team. Mount Paran Christian athletic teams take preference over any teams, athletic events, or athletic commitments outside of MPCS during that season. This holds especially true at the high school level. Middle school athletes may participate, with the coach’s approval. (See below.)

In-season Participation
Middle school and junior varsity student-athletes who desire to play on an off-campus team will be allowed to do so; however, their MPC coach must be informed, and their MPC team must have priority. Example: An MPC middle school baseball player may play for a travel team during baseball season, as long as the coach gives permission. Varsity players will only be allowed to participate on an off-campus team with the permission of their in-season head coach.

Out-of-season Participation
Middle school and junior varsity student-athletes may participate on non-MPC teams out of their season. Example: A middle school baseball player may play AAU basketball during baseball season as long as the MPC baseball team is prioritized. An MPC JV tennis player may participate with an off-campus gymnastics team during tennis season, as long as the tennis team takes priority. Varsity players will need to obtain coaches’ permission. If this cannot happen, the issue will go to the appropriate athletic director.
