Volunteers Needed for Spring Events
The HGCS Athletic Department and AAA Booster Club need the help of volunteers to assist with admissions and concessions at athletic events during the spring season. Please take a look at our HGCS Sign-Up Genius page and sign up to volunteer at HGCS events this spring! 


18th Annual Golf Tournament
Save the date for the 18th Annual HGCS Golf Tournament! The purpose of this year’s tournament is to partner with family members and local businesses to enhance our efforts and equip our students with the tools needed to build Christian character and a Biblical worldview. The registration fee will include greens fees, cart, boxed lunch, beverage cart, a post tournament awards dinner and a gift bag. Most importantly, the fees will generate funds that will support our academic, art, and athletic programs and will ultimately affect each student that walks through the doors at Hickory Grove Christian School. Stay tuned for other ways you can support the golf tournament through our sponsorship packages!
Player registration is now open at

Spring Sports Senior Night
Senior Night for all spring sports will be on Tuesday, April 25. We will recognize seniors from the Varsity Softball and Varsity Baseball teams at their respective home games that afternoon. Seniors from the Varsity Women's Soccer, Varsity Track, Varsity Men's Golf, and Varsity Men's Tennis teams will be recognized at the Varsity Women's Soccer game.

Spring Sports Banquet
This year's Spring Sports Banquet will be held on Monday, May 8 at 6:30pm in Gyms A/B for all spring Varsity teams. Dinner will be served, and we will recognize award winners for each team. All spring Varsity athletes and their immediate families are invited to attend.

Off-Season Conditioning Workouts
The HGCS Athletic Department is offering off-season conditioning workouts for ALL athletes grades 6th-12th not involved in a winter/spring sport.
Coach Pondo has coordinated and led these workouts for the last ten years and is BFS certified. Workouts will start January 3, 2017, Monday through Thursday each week in the field house after school until 5:00p.m. The program he follows is the nationally recognized “Bigger, Faster, Stronger (BFS)” program. This program is used by most high schools and small colleges/universities in the country. It is a great program for ALL athletes in all sports. Athletes must have a current physical on file with Athletic Trainer in order to participate.
The off-season is the time for you to improve as an individual. It is our hope that ALL will take advantage of this program. This program is free of charge, convenient, and it WORKS!
Please contact Coach Pondo with any concerns or questions. Also, please see the attached information regarding instructions.

Online Athletic Calendar
Beginning this school year, the Athletic Department will no longer use Schedule Star. We are currently transitioning to Google Calendar for our athletic schedule. This will allow our schedule to be more compatible with our school's academic calendar and website, and it will be more mobile-friendly for our students and parents. To access the athletic schedule, please visit the Athletics page of the school website and click on the "Athletics Calendar" link on the left side of the page. On this page, you will see the Athletic Events Calendar at the top. This calendar will show all sports teams, meetings, and Athletic Department events by default. To narrow this down to specific teams, click on the drop-down menu arrow in the top right corner of the calendar and check or uncheck whichever teams you prefer. Additionally, there is a Practice Calendar below the Athletic Events Calendar on the same page. This calendar will show scheduled practice times for all teams by default, but can also be narrowed down to specific teams. You can add either of these calendars from the website to your own personal calendar on your computer or mobile device by clicking "+GoogleCalendar" at the bottom of the calendar. You can view additional details about each game/event, such as start/end times, locations, dismissal times, etc., by clicking on the game/event title.

Sign Up for Remind Notifications
Notifications about athletic event cancellations, changes, and reminders are sent out via text through Remind. You must sign up with Remind to receive these text notifications on your phone. To sign up with Remind, text @hgcslions to the number 81010.
