Football

The Old Plank Christian Academy Football Program is dedicated to developing young men of faith, character, discipline, and excellence. As Defenders, we believe football is more than a game—it is a platform to teach leadership, accountability, perseverance, teamwork, and a Christ-centered approach to life.

Our mission is to prepare student-athletes for success on the field, in the classroom, and in their future endeavors by fostering a culture of hard work, integrity, and servant leadership. Through competitive athletics and intentional mentorship, we challenge our players to honor God in their effort, attitude, and actions.

The OPCA Football Program emphasizes strong fundamentals, physical and mental toughness, and a commitment to team above self. Our athletes are encouraged to compete with passion, represent their school with pride, and pursue excellence in every aspect of life.

Whether under the Friday night lights or in everyday challenges, Defenders are taught to lead with courage, serve with humility, and stand firm in their faith.
