An intense work ethic, a “team first” attitude, grit, and accountability are cornerstones of Colorado Academy athletics.
We invite you to view the photos and team pages below for CA's 16 Varsity-level team sports sanctioned by CHSAA, as well as CA's non-sanctioned and/or non-competitive offerings, including ultimate Frisbee, racquetball, and rock climbing.
Take a look inside the spectacular, new 66,000 square-foot Athletic Center. Jump inside the Strength & Conditioning Center and listen to program director Coach Wes Kirk's strength training philosophy.
Check out the photos of our numerous athletic fields—including four grass fields, a turf competition field, a new turf baseball field, a cross-country trail on the perimeter of campus, and eight tennis courts.
CA’s Upper School athletic teams and athletes have been recognized for their success at the national, state, and league level. Many of our students go on to successful careers playing Division I, II, and III sports in college.
Our success is reflected in the character of our athletes, as well as the championships we win. View the bio of Interim Director of Athletics Jon Hill and enjoy our new Athletics magazine!
