3 As of July 6, CSAL League Philosophy The Christian School Athletic League (CSAL) provides schools an opportunity for students to begin to learn and develop fundamental skills of the game. The objectives are to foster an appreciation for team sports and the camaraderie, sportsmanship and fun; inherent in participation. The emphasis is on participation and allowing each member of the team to experience playing time. While scores are recorded during the game; won-loss records will not be published and a league champion will not be determined. School officials, coaches, parents and students are expected to support and promote Christian values by displaying fair play, good sportsmanship and self-discipline. Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
