Athletics

Woodland Park Academy's athletics program is designed to offer students positive life experiences within the context of competitive interscholastic sports. We focus heavily on sportsmanship, teamwork, and dedication while continuing to put academics above all else. We recognize the value of organized sports and the significant benefits that they offer to our community in the areas of health and wellness, social-emotional development, mental health, and leadership.

All athletes must have an updated sports physical and signed Athletic Handbook on file in order to participate.
