Athletics is an important part of the Ursuline experience, helping students grow in confidence, resilience, and teamwork while challenging themselves both on and off the field.

True to the Ursuline mission, our athletic programs develop young women who compete with integrity, support one another, and embrace the responsibilities of leadership. Whether pursuing a championship or participating in a sport for the first time, students learn lessons that extend far beyond the game.

With 16 sports and more than 620 student-athletes participating each year, Ursuline offers opportunities for students of all skill levels to challenge themselves, build lasting friendships, and experience the joy of being part of a team.
