THE TOM CAFFREY BOYS TEAM ROOM
The boys’ team room is named after legendary football coach, baseball coach, and former Athletic Director Thomas Caffrey. In his years as a coach, Caffrey won five CIF championships: four in football (1979, 1983, 1984, and 1990) and one in baseball (1987). As an Athletic Director, Caffrey’s teams won countless league titles and nine CIF championships.
THE WCHS WEIGHT ROOM
With 19 CIF titles and 120 league championships, our athletic programs carry a proud legacy of success on the field. That success is built on preparation, dedication and focus. A vital part of that foundation is our weight room facility, fully rebuilt in 2023. The renovation included new paint, carpet and graphics along with custom rubber bumper plates, machines, platforms, bars and dumbbells. Today, our weight room stands as one of the finest in the area and unquestionably the best for a school our size. More than 400 students use the space daily and it has a visible, measurable impact on the growth and performance of our athletes. We are proud of this investment and the way it strengthens our tradition of excellence.
THE DON STEWARD MEMORIAL BASEBALL FIELD
Our baseball complex is named after baseball coach, assistant football coach, and physical education teacher Don Steward. Coach Steward was well known for his dedication to all student-athletes at Whittier Christian High School. The Don Steward Baseball Field is one of the nicest fields in the area. In recent years, our baseball team has won four league championships.
WCHS BASEBALL TRAINING FACILITY
Our baseball training facility is one of the best in Orange County—built to develop elite athletes in a dedicated, high-performance environment. With three full-length batting cages and three bullpen mounds, players have year-round access to the reps they need. Nighttime lighting allows teams to train after dark, and our specialized Arm Care Center supports long-term development and injury prevention. This facility is best in class and reflects our commitment to training the entire athlete mentally, physically, and spiritually.
THE LEON DAVIS EVENT CENTER
The completion of the Leon Davis Event Center in 2005 was the culmination of years of dreams, plans, and dedication on the part of our administrators and school board. The LDEC is known by current students as the heart of our campus and athletic program. It is named after beloved Bible teacher and coach Leon Davis. The LDEC is home to all of our gym sports, as well as chapels, pep rallies, and other events. It has seating for 700, but we have been known to pack it out at over 800 with standing room only. The Leon Davis Event Center is truly the crowning achievement of our athletic facilities.
THE WILLIAM PATE SOFTBALL FIELD
Our softball complex is named after former business administrator and softball coach William E. Pate. Mr. Pate was a huge softball fan and was loved by all teachers, staff, and students. The softball field was an accomplishment in his honor and a vision he had wanted to achieve for many years.
SOFTBALL BATTING CAGE & BULLPEN AREA
Integrated directly into our softball field complex, the WCHS softball training area features two state-of-the-art batting cages and two full bullpens designed for focused, high-rep development. Built for performance and convenience, this setup gives our players immediate access to year-round training just steps from the field. It’s one of the top softball training environments in Orange County and a reflection of our commitment to championship-level preparation.
OUTDOOR AGILITY & SPEED AREA
Our outdoor agility and speed area features a 40-yard turf surface designed for multi-program use. From football and baseball to soccer and cheer, this space is used daily to sharpen speed, footwork, and explosive movement. Even in rainy weather, teams can get valuable work in without canceling practice. It’s a flexible, functional space that keeps our student-athletes training, rain or shine.
Outdoor Multisport Training Area
At Whittier Christian High School, our newly enhanced multisport court is a dynamic space designed for versatility and high-level play. With a professional-grade surface and regulation markings for futsal, volleyball and basketball, the court allows students to sharpen their skills across multiple disciplines in one centralized location. Whether hosting fast-paced futsal matches, competitive volleyball games or intense basketball practices, this court serves as a hub for athletic development, team bonding and school spirit. It’s a place where students push limits, learn strategy and compete with purpose all within a Christ-centered community that values discipline, excellence and joy in every game played.
