Sports at St. Andrew's reflect our belief that all students, notjust varsity athletes, benefit from participating in sports.Athletics at St. Andrew's are interscholastic in nature, with 10sports for girls and 11 for boys. There are as many levels of competitionas can be supported by numbers of athletes; all sportsfield varsity and junior varsity teams, and some a third level. MostSt. Andrew's students begin their careers on lower-level teams andwork their way up to varsity.We stress participation, growth, sportsmanship and a commitmentto excellence at every level. Sports at St. Andrew's aredemanding and challenging, but we emphasize that they areprimarily designed to teach students the importance of teamwork,discipline, resilience, sportsmanship and grace under pressure. Ourcoaches, who are the same people who teach in our classroomsand live in our dormitories, fully understand and support thisphilosophy.St. Andrew's is a member of the Delaware Independent SchoolsConference (DISC), which has league championships in allsports we offer except crew and squash. The five other conferenceschools-Sanford, Tatnall, Tower Hill, Westtown and WilmingtonFriends-have athletic philosophies similar to ours and are locatedwithin an hour of St. Andrew's. Most games are played againstteams from DISC schools, with additional contests held with teamsfrom other independent schools and some public schools.
