Athletics

Celebrating Community and Skill

The Athletic Department at Roycemore helps the school celebrate individuality and inspires excellence by:

Emphasizing student participation in athletic programs over competing at the highest level possible
Seeking to bring out the best qualities in each child as a person of character and an athlete, regardless of skill level while being challenging
Encouraging a focus on individual growth, rather than on a win-at-all-costs attitude
Establishing sportsmanship, character development, a positive attitude, and teamwork as the top priorities for all Roycemore athletes
Modeling goal-setting and planning as important life skills beyond the court or field
Promoting the benefits of a strong work ethic and sound preparation and practice habits
Providing opportunities for more advanced competition for students with advanced skills
Instilling in all students a life-long appreciation of the benefits of exercise and the important role physical activity plays in determining the quality of life

How To Participate?

Roycemore offers the following interscholastic teams:

Soccer – coed, both Middle & Upper Schools
Volleyball – girls, Middle & Upper Schools; boys, Upper School only
Cross Country – coed, Lower, Middle & Upper Schools
Basketball – boys & girls teams, Middle & Upper Schools

Any Roycemore student in Grades 5 through 12 can participate in interscholastic athletics regardless of skill level. Participation is given a higher priority than competing to win at all grade levels, but competing to win does take on increased focus as the participants become older.
