ATHLETICS

At St. Edward, we strive to embody our motto: Be your best. Do what is right, in the image of Christ. 

 

Our athletic programs are designed to foster Christian character by teaching the values of teamwork, discipline, and good sportsmanship while focusing on the fundamentals of each sport. With smaller team sizes, we ensure that every student receives individual coaching and ample playing time to grow and succeed both on and off the field.
