Student Programs

Athletics

FPDS's athletic programs foster an appreciation for physical fitness and athleticism while teaching the value of discipline, commitment, and team contribution over self-promotion. Godly coaches inspire students to strive for their best while uplifting one another, showing respect for competitors, and glorifying God in all that they do.

  • Basketball

    Third through sixth grade boys and girls are divided into basketball teams. All students participate an equal amount of time in each game. Sportsmanship and participation is emphasized to prepare players for playing at the junior high level.
