The Carmel School prides itself on strong athletics. We believe that every child can be part of a team, and our athletic teams are eager to help build strong athletes.

Sports for All, Stats for Growth

Nearly 90% of our students participate in at least one of our sports, and our “no-cut” approach to team participation allows for students of all abilities to participate. We offer seasonal sports, live streaming for indoor events (basketball, volleyball, and other indoor events), and professional logging for select sports (detailed stats to help athletes track their progress and showcase their skills).

  • Tournaments: Compete in local and regional tournaments

Our coaching philosophy is, “Winning isn’t everything but wanting to win is.” It emphasizes both sportsmanship and competitive excellence by prioritizing the effort, determination, and commitment required to achieve success rather than solely focusing on the outcome.

We encourage our athletes to give their best in every situation, and we highlight the importance of integrity and respect for the game.
