Contra Costa Christian Schools is committed to quality coaching from a Christian perspective that grounds athletes in strong fundamentals of their respective sports while emphasizing integrity and sportsmanship. The primary aim of the Athletic Program at Contra Costa Christian High School is the spiritual and social development of the student athlete. Through participation in athletics we hope to develop in our student-athletes positive qualities of responsibility, cooperation, respect, commitment, leadership and discipline. Contra Costa Christian High School competes regularly with Division 5 and Division 6 schools of comparable size. CCCS fields competitive teams with these other schools, in part due to the high quality of Christian coaches on staff. With only one team selected in each league, CCCS was awarded the Bay Counties League Sportsmanship Award in the 2008-09 and 2012-13 school years. The girls varsity basketball team won the 2015-16 BCL League Championship. In the last few years, we have seen the following teams successfully attain playoff berths in NCS:
With a great sense of school pride and a strong commitment by the athletic staff, it makes it a great time to be a part of Contra Costa Christian Athletics!

Coach Shawn is our Varsity Girls Basketball Coach ad PE Teacher!
My name is Shawn Smith and I am very excited to be the Varsity Girls Basketball Coach at Contra Costa County Christian Schools. Before I was a coach, I received a Basketball Scholarship at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. I was coached by the great Dan D’Antoni and Chris Duhon. I played two seasons for Marshall University when a tragic shoulder injury & enlarged heart muscle ended my dreams for the Pros. Although my heart was broken, I found a new way to love the sport. God guided me to coach and mentor students that had the same dream as myself: a scholarship and hopefully to the pros. My coaching journey began at Vacaville Christian schools where I was blessed with the opportunity to coach Junior Varsity boys basketball. I then decided to come a little closer to home and became a Dedicated Substitute and Paraprofessional for SPED students and coached Junior Varsity Boys at Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon. I was then given the opportunity to coach the Varsity girls team at the same high school and my dream of being a varsity coach was accomplished, but my teaching career was not. God heard my prayers and that's where I was shown the path to Contra Costa Christian Schools. I am not only the Varsity girls basketball coach but also the P.E teacher. I am beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity to teach and coach at such an amazing school that also represents who I am physically, mentally and spiritually. I can not wait for this season to begin! GO COUGARS!
