Instructional practices and training by our coaches, who are also teachers, strengthens relationships with students and serves to create a culture of camaraderie and support.

All of our older students participate in intramural and interscholastic sports as part of their school day, and our athletics program and facilities offer opportunities for all boys, regardless of their ability or skill set.

Whether it’s the youngest boys learning to skate on the Worthington Johnson Ice Rink, our oldest boys practicing free throws in The Foley Family Gymnasium, or our student-athletes competing in lacrosse and baseball games; our teaching coaches provide the type of professional instruction and expertise necessary to foster healthy competition. With this comes a proud tradition of success in developing confident student-athletes who go on to play at the highest levels in high school, college, and beyond.

  • Everyone Plays

    We are deeply committed to ensuring that our athletics programs are both valuable and worthwhile. At FCDS, athletics are regarded as a vital component of a well-rounded educational experience. Since our coaches are also classroom teachers, the ongoing relationships they build with students foster a culture of camaraderie and a strong support system.

  • A Foundation for the Future

    Our goal is to create a positive competitive experience that emphasizes team building and the enjoyment of the game. Each boy, whether a novice or an advanced player, has a place in our athletics program. We strive to graduate students who have developed a healthy appreciation for sports and have learned how to 'Meet the Moment', providing a foundation for success in all areas of life.

Sports can build confidence, connect boys to each other through action, and help them express emotions that they too often are not allowed to express in regular, daily life.
