Welcome to GGA Athletics

Student Activities and Athletics are a vital part of the overall educational program. Participation in activities and athletics is a privilege available to all eligible students. This privilege carries with it serious personal responsibilities to the school and the community.

Participants and staff members understand that an emphasis on academic achievement is of high importance. Most importantly, the overall purpose of student activities is to develop positive values and habits so that personal growth and character development occurs.

Personal Philosophy of Athletics

Girls Global Academy athletics empower students to lead confidently, thrive academically, and flourish physically in any arena they may find themselves. Through our clubs, development teams, and varsity programs, we elevate student choice and voice by offering sports that students are interested in and ones that will help them grow beyond the field of play. GGA Athletics embodies our 4 pillars of Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, and Safety and is a way to support both the physical and mental wellbeing of our students. 

 

Our athletic program is the environment in which students learn the rules of fair play and ethical behavior while honoring the values of teamwork, communication, growth, and healthy competition. We strive to create traditions where students celebrate the wins, learn from mistakes, and stand together in the face of adversity. 

 

Girls Global Academy Athletics epitomizes the power of our why and the importance of life connections. Students learn to show up for themselves, for their teammates, the athletic community, and the broader community. When you educate, you can change the trajectory of a student's life. Put that student on an athletics team and they will develop memories, experiences, and skills carried throughout a lifetime.
