Athletic programs are an integral part of Valor’s vision for educating the whole person, and we are committed to providing students with a range of competitive athletic opportunities. Healthy athletic competition can ennoble the human spirit and help students develop virtues such as courage, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Through participation in athletics, Valor encourages students to grow in friendship and to commit themselves to the common good of the team. In addition, we seek to cultivate a healthy spiritedness motivated by a love of the sport and a desire to pursue excellence. Above all else, Valor’s coaches and athletes pursue the following four ends of sports: physical excellence, character development, spiritedness, and true leisure.
