Athletics

At Carrollwood Day School, we are dedicated to fostering good health and active lifestyles as integral components of student development. Our athletics program, like our arts program, emphasizes the importance of progression. Students develop their athletic abilities and understanding of sports over time, while enjoying a supportive and inclusive environment.

Starting in the Early Childhood Center, students engage in outdoor play, learning the importance of playing cooperatively and respectfully with one another. As they advance to elementary school, they begin to appreciate the value of teamwork and the joy of participating in sports for fun. As students move into middle school, they have the opportunity to focus on growing their skills and team building, with an introduction to competitive play. By upper school, students can choose to play competitively, with 80% of our students participating in athletics by this stage.
