The Principia:
Upper School Athletics
Community & Summer Sports Programs

In our community, there are many opportunities for children to participate on sports teams outside of Principia.  Students are encouraged to seek out local teams and skill-building experiences in leagues and organizations in the surrounding communities.  Team sign-ups usually happen about two months prior to the season.  Please check your local Suburban Journal newspaper or the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for ongoing information.  Often you can sign up your own team and coach, or you can sign up individually and be put into a “pool.”  Players will then be placed on a team by the organization. 
Talk with your classmates, talk with your neighbors, talk with the school coaches and PE teachers.  Local Parks and Recreation Departments are also a good resource for local sports and activities, both recreational and competitive.
