introduced to a variety of team sports throughout their lower
school years. Beginning in third grade, students can participate
in Rising Romans, which is the feeder program for middle school
interscholastic sports. Students can choose to participate in
baseball/softball, basketball, cross country, Girls on the Run,
soccer and volleyball.
Middle School
The middle school athletics program gives students the opportunity
to explore a variety of interscholastic sports with a focus on
participation and skills building in game situations.
Upper School
Latin fields 49 teams in 14 different sports in the
upper school and approximately 77 percent of
students play on a team each school year. Every
season Latin athletes compete successfully at
conference, sectional, regional and state levels.
Team captains are required to participate in the
Captain's Council, a mentoring program that
focuses on building leadership skills.
Latin is an active partner in the Positive
Coaching Alliance out of Stanford
University which promotes sports as a
positive, character-building experience.
