Calhoun Athletics
Welcome to Cougar Nation!
We believe in the power of sports done right. More than winning or losing, sports can help us connect with ourselves and with each other. Here at Calhoun we know sports aren’t separate from what happens during the school day, but an integral part of learning—whether it’s supporting classmates in their big game, getting to know coaches and teammates during bus rides to and from competition, or stepping up to try a difficult drill in practice. Through our teams, clinics, training programs and camps, we aim to create spaces in which young people are challenged to take risks, to show up for each other, to practice accountability, and to believe in themselves.
See you on the eighth floor!
"We strive to foster student-athletes who are leaders in their communities, who show up positively and fully ready to engage."

Coaching workshops in Calhoun Athletics help to create an environment that pushes student-athletes to compete at the highest level while building leadership skills that will help them both on and off the court, track and field. The workshop in the fall focused on the theme of belonging and how coaches can make students of all identities feel accepted and welcomed.
