The Old Plank Christian Academy Basketball Program is committed to developing student-athletes who honor Christ, pursue excellence, and compete with integrity. Our basketball program provides an environment where players can grow in their faith, strengthen their character, and develop the skills necessary to succeed both on and off the court.

​

As Defenders, we believe basketball is a powerful tool for teaching discipline, teamwork, leadership, perseverance, and accountability. Through competitive play, quality coaching, and intentional mentorship, our athletes learn valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the final buzzer.

​

The OPCA Basketball Program emphasizes strong fundamentals, a team-first mentality, relentless effort, and a commitment to representing our school and Savior with pride. Every practice, game, and challenge is viewed as an opportunity to grow as athletes, students, and Christian leaders.

​

Whether competing for championships or building lifelong friendships and memories, our players are encouraged to give their best, support one another, and strive for excellence in all they do.
