CCA Athletic Director Scott Davidson

Our first after-school clinic will take place September 24th & 25th from 3:30pm til 4:30pm. We’re talking BASEBALL and it’s open to kids of all ages and all skill levels. We will offer basic instruction with a wiffleball game likely to break out. A big thank you to Jake and the C.L.A.W. program (Canaan Leaders Advancing the World) for their help. A permission form will be available in September and must be returned by September 19th. More clinics are in the works including soccer, kickball and wrestling to name a few.

Speaking of soccer… We are currently in discussions with the Jefferson County Soccer Association about spreading the love of soccer to this part of the county. More details as soon as they are available.

So let’s keep laughing and loving, growing and being kind, getting stronger and being honorable, being courageous and full of wonder at Canaan Community Academy.

Our Athletic philosophy is a simple one at CCA… “To provide every student the opportunity to develop their potential as students and athletes through appropriate activities to match their ability levels; keeping in mind that every person is unique and possesses differing skill sets.”

It’s indeed an exciting time at Canaan Community Academy as we build, TOGETHER, an athletic program for the school and the community to be proud of. 😎

Athletically Speaking with Mr. Scott, your CCA Athletic Director:

Greetings and Salutations!  It’s been a minute since our last update.  

Again I’d like to say thank you to everyone here at Canaan Community Academy from the staff to the students and their families for their support of what we are trying to build an Athletic Department from the ground up.  It takes both time and patience.  Our after school clinics have been awesome additions to our students' growth. The wrestling clinic that took place in February was amazing and very well received. I’d like to say a special thank you to Dustin Bentz and John Walls for helping make it happen.  I think the kids and their parents were equally excited.   Unfortunately, due to either snow and/or rain, we have not been able to schedule another clinic. We are still trying.

A BIG SHOUT OUT to Ms. Rachel and Mrs. Cathy: your CCA RUNNING CLUB coordinators. Their RUNNERS are meeting Mondays and Wednesdays after school in preparation for the Molly Dattilo run on Saturday, May 10th. Good luck to our running CCA COUGARS.   

We continue to explore having a SOCCER program at the school.  This could include a team for middle school-aged students plus a youth program for our younger students. We’ve got plenty of grass for potential soccer fields and interest from the community.  I/we will rely on those with soccer expertise in the area with the development of this opportunity. STAY TUNED!  

Other ATHLETIC activities being planned… 

• A Wrestling Clinic this Summer
• Soccer teams in the Fall
• And Elementary basketball teams in the Winter
