Upper School

We believe that every athlete, regardless of background or experience, has the potential to thrive in a supportive and empowering environment.

Our Upper School athletics programs are built on a foundation of resilience, inclusivity, and dedication. 

Our teams embody the values of accountability, integrity, and commitment, competing to achieve personal and collective success while prioritizing healthy habits for long-term well-being.

Upper School Sports

Leaders on and Off the field

Through hard work, respect, and perseverance, we strive to create leaders both on and off the field, who inspire each other to reach new heights.

 

Ultimate

No-Cut Teams

Girls Soccer

Upper School student-athletes, over the course of their career at Colorado Academy, are required to fulfill six athletic credits as a part of their graduation requirements.

  • Ninth and Tenth Grade student-athletes are expected to compete in two different sports.
  • Eleventh and Twelfth Grade student-athletes are expected to compete in one sport.

We are committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to participate in the sport of their choice, regardless of experience or ability. As a no-cut school, we welcome all athletes and, if interest is high, we will add additional teams to accommodate every student eager to contribute and grow.

One of the things I appreciate most about CA sports is everyone’s commitment to the team. Working toward a shared goal and celebrating our successes together have been an incredibly rewarding experience.
