RTCA maintains an active interscholastic sports program, competing in football, basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, golf, shotgun, track, soccer, wrestling, cheerleading, and cross country with other private schools in Georgia. Student participation in sports is an excellent way to learn or reinforce many character and life skills such as being part of a team, being gracious in winning and losing, developing leadership skills, showing respect for others, etc. The coaching staff at RTCA also emphasizes Christian concepts at practice and in the games.
The school is a member of the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA). All students participating in athletics are required to exhibit a positive Christian attitude at all times, on and off campus. Student athletes must be counted present at school in order to practice or play on a particular day. A student must be present for four classes in order to be counted present. In extreme situations (death of family member, immediate family member graduation, etc.) the student may appeal the attendance rule to the Headmaster.

For example, a student who has passed 5 subjects for the first semester (approximately one-half of the academic school year) is eligible for the second semester.
