Athletics

YC Athletics is rooted in a culture of encouragement, hard work and opportunity. The value of perseverance, the power of teamwork, and the importance of respect — at YC, our student athletes build qualities on and off the field that serve them in life far beyond when the last whistle blows.

Our athletes learn to win with integrity and develop the character to accept a loss with grace and composure. Win or lose, they understand there is always something to learn that can help achieve team and personal goals through athletic training.

Over 2/3 of our student body participate in school athletics with many students competing on multiple teams. Seasoned athletes and competitors new to the sport together tackle skill building as well as strength and conditioning to become outstanding teams that demonstrate leadership on and off the field. Our athletes are also active in the arts and participate in a wide variety of clubs and activities – providing opportunities to explore their passions and build well-rounded experiences throughout their middle and high school careers.

YC student athletes learn valuable skills as they balance academics, sports and their social experiences. They develop the drive to achieve personal and team goals, and the dedication to tackle the physical and mental challenges on and off the field.

Our YC student athletes go on to become leaders on and off the field in college and in their careers, inspired by the experiences gained as part of the Fighting Irish sports experiences.
