ATHLETICS
Overview
As part of the school's philosophy of educating the whole child, intellectually, spiritually, socially, and physically, Episcopal Day School offers a wide variety of activities and sports for students in both the Lower and Upper School. Our programs challenge students to pursue athletic excellence while honoring each one as an individual with unique potential. Students who participate in athletics at EDS are given support and guidance as they develop and refine their athletic skill, improve their physical fitness, and build confidence in their individual abilities while identifying themselves as part of a team.
The teams are established to demonstrate fair and equal play with supervision, encouragement, and higher skill level learning from a coach. Students who wish to participate must exhibit appropriate behavior in class and at practice and must maintain an acceptable level of academic achievement while meeting behavioral expectations. Student athletes benefit from developing and maintaining physical conditioning at regularly scheduled practices, as well as team building, development of character, leadership and good sportsmanship.
All activities are taught in an atmosphere that stresses the importance of participation and hard work. reinforce our mission of advancing Judeo-Christian values while fostering attitudes of compassion and responsibility. EDS is a member of the West Florida Christian Conference, which is made up of six parochial or private schools.
