Welcome to NCS Athletics

Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders Through Athletics

Athletics play an important role in the education at Northside as they teach discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship.  These are the marks of a great leader and of students who will succeed at the next level. Northside Christian provides its students one of the most comprehensive athletic programs in the area for both boys and girls.  Our elementary students also compete in many sports through our Midget Mustang program.
