Carolina Day School’s athletic program is participatory, comprehensive, and highly successful. We have 29 athletic teams that play a total of 11 sports, including baseball, soccer, basketball, ski and snowboard, lacrosse, cross country, field hockey, tennis, volleyball, swimming, and golf.
We begin the athletic experience in lower school physical education classes and strengthen that experience through our Little Cat Athletic Program. Then interscholastic competition begins for both boys and girls in Middle School with a sports program that introduces our student-athletes to the expectations and demands of interscholastic sports in a setting that allows for individual skill development in a team-centered environment.
At the junior varsity and varsity levels, our student-athletes work with our coaches to ensure individual and team goals are being met. We stress student ownership and student leadership and believe that our athletic program complements our students’ experience in the classroom.
Below are just a few of our latest athletic headlines:
- It’s a three-peat state championship for CDS varsity girls basketball
- CDS Varsity boys swim team wins state for the second time
- Two soccer players sign NCAA National Letter of Intent
