Our Programs

  • Students are required to participate in sports-- three seasons in middle school and at least one in upper school.
  • There is an opportunity for every athlete at each level to learn and grow in our program.
  • Friends teams, at the high school and middle school A levels, play to win; middle school B and C teams emphasize skill development and participation.
  • Our high school varsity teams regularly make the State tournaments, meets, and matches––oftentimes in multiple rounds.
