Spire fosters friendship and community through competition and teamwork.
We accept homeschool students and private school students with special permission. Our program is geared toward committed athletes and demands dedication both at practice and independently.
We train for life.
As competitive runners and coaches, we’ve encountered various training programs tailored to homeschool athletes, typically categorized into three areas: fellowship and social interaction (mind), ministry (soul), and running-focused training (body). Although some teams adeptly integrate two of these categories, it’s rare to find one that excels in all three. At Spire, we are committed to developing athletes holistically—mind, soul, and body.
We encourage our runners to think independently, push their physical boundaries, and instill a belief that their worth extends beyond their athletic and intellectual achievements. We emphasize that while running skills and mental acuity can falter, the soul lives forever. By nurturing these three aspects together, we aim to help our athletes live fully, as God intended, with profound lifelong implications.
