Athletics

I believe UPrep strikes the right balance with our athletics program. Our focus is on inclusion, but we also strive for excellence and are in it to win it. This means that we support the student who has never played a sport before, as well as the student athlete who is striving to win a state championship.” Athletic Director Rebecca Moe

GO PUMAS! UPrep's community-oriented athletics program encourages students to strive for personal growth and a balance of competition and inclusion. Our coaches support our student-athletes so they excel both on the court/field/track and in the classroom.

UPrep's inclusive, competitive program encourages students to explore a wide range of sports, even if they’ve never participated before. Our numbers tell the story: last year, 67% of our students participated on at least one of our 51 teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, soccer, tennis, track and field, Ultimate, and volleyball.

The Pumas have a history of success on the field and on the court.

Varsity Teams Competed at State Tournaments Last Year (Bringing Home One Championship Trophy)

I always felt like I belonged on the soccer field with my UPrep teams. Playing with my good friends was really fun. I'm still best friends with a few of them. I have memories from bus rides and winning games together. And losing games together—that builds relationships. My coaches taught me how to win with humility and lose with grace." –Jackson Ragen '17, Seattle Sounders FC Defender

Middle School

UPrep Middle School Athletics is a co-curricular program that provides all students with the opportunity to participate, build their skills, learn sportsmanship, and gain experience in being a productive team member. At the beginning of each season, participants are evaluated and placed on skill-appropriate teams (Division I, Division II, or Division III) and compete against other teams of similar skill level in the Cross Town Middle School League. To ensure every student has a meaningful place to participate and grow, we also offer our Puma League—an in-house development league for students who are not placed on one of our travel teams for volleyball and basketball. Puma League focuses on core skill progression, building game fundamentals, and maximizing court time. Last year, 88% of our Middle School students participated on a team. Our Upper School coaches work closely with the Middle School program across all levels to ensure that every student is learning the skills necessary to contribute at higher levels.

Upper School

UPrep's Upper School Athletics program encourages broad-based participation, giving each student the opportunity to be a member of a team, regardless of experience or skill level. Last year, 63% of Upper School students participated in our Athletics program. At UPrep, each and every team strives to achieve its own definition of success and excellence.

Our sub-varsity teams focus on both team and player development consistent with the goals and vision for the program/sport. Our varsity teams, which compete at the League, District, and State-Level, strive for excellence under the guidance of the coaching staff, in cooperation with our values of responsibility, integrity, and respect. Our students, families, coaches, and fans all share a belief in maintaining a high level of sportsmanship while still being competitive.

The UPrep Athletics program is education-based and our coaching staff encourage balance and support our students in and out of the classroom. Joining a team provides our students with the opportunity to partner with a diverse group of classmates, often resulting in new and long-lasting friendships. The relationships and life skills nurtured on the field and on the court—teamwork, determination, perseverance, and healthy competition—are enduring and serve our Pumas long after they graduate.
