Athletics

Community School’s athletic program is designed to provide an opportunity for children of all levels of experience, skill, and ability to participate in sports and be part of a team.

Community students build foundational skills and gain exposure to a variety of sports through physical education classes, then have opportunities to continue growing through community leagues and school-sponsored teams. Participants learn that how you compete matters just as much as how you score. Coaches, players, and teams set goals and play with a focus on respect, teamwork, and the determination to finish strong.

Junior Kindergarten-Second Grade

Community students can frequently be found playing soccer, tee ball, basketball, and other sports in local community leagues. Families with children in junior kindergarten through second grade may sign up for teams organized and coached by parent volunteers. The emphasis is on skill development and fun, and all teams adhere to Community's philosophy of inclusion and whole-team participation. 

Third-Sixth Grade

Starting in third grade, students can also join school-sponsored teams—currently cross country, track, and basketball—organized and coached by Community teachers and parents. Teams practice on campus after school, and compete against other St. Louis-area independent schools.
