Sports and Athletics Programs

Athletics at Reston Day School are an integral part of the educational experience.  All students participate in the athletic program which includes a wide selection of individual and team sports.  Students choose which programs to participate in each term.  The programs have been intentionally offered to promote the child's ability to challenge themselves in team and individual sports that we believe offer similar but different benefits.  Our students develop the power to respect and appreciate teammates, coaches and opponents while nurturing their own self-discipline and commitment to personal and team objectives.  The mission of the RDS Athletics program is to provide a fun and exciting way for each student to achieve an increased level of fitness and the opportunity to participate in a variety of team and individual sports while establishing a foundation that promotes a vigorous, active and healthy lifestyle.

The highlights of our sports program currently occur in the Fall and Spring.  In the fall students participate in the Blue and Gold Flag Football Game, students play, cheerleaders cheer, and the fans have as much fun as the participants.  Our Spring event, the Blue and Gold Basketball Game, has been a wonderful event for all, highlighting our attention to team spirit and sportsmanship.
