Athletics are an integral part of student life at Cistercian Preparatory School. Through competition, teamwork, and disciplined preparation, students develop the character, leadership, perseverance, and sportsmanship that support the school’s educational mission.
Our coaches challenge students to pursue excellence while competing with integrity and respect. Whether in practice or competition, athletes are encouraged to give their best effort, support their teammates, and represent the school with humility and pride.
At Cistercian, we strive to live clean and play hard out of respect for the game, our teammates, and our opponents. Our athletes win without boasting and lose without excuses. We never quit. Because we take pride in representing Cistercian, we compete fairly and show respect for our opponents, fans, officials, and the traditions of the game.
