ATHLETICS

At Colorado Academy, everybody plays.

We believe athletics and physical education are essential components of a well-rounded education.

At every age, competition and movement enhance our students’ day-to-day school experience, strengthen relationships with peers, and build connections across our community. CA students are continually challenged to go beyond what is familiar and dive into the many offerings available here—from sports performance and student athletic training to one of our no-cut high school teams. Whether they have a goal to play collegiate sports or are simply looking to enhance their athletic abilities, we value character and accountability just as much as the State Championships we win.

Our Mission

Colorado Academy athletics empowers athletes and coaches to pursue passions, build strong relationships, and foster character growth, while promoting a positive competitive spirit and commitment to excellence.

Our Values: Resilience • Inclusivity • Dedication • Accountability • Integrity • Healthy Habits
