Santa Monica-Malibu School District Athletics
Studies have shown that participation in organized sports may help students develop physical skills like hand-eye coordination; functional movement skills and strength; as well as academic, self-regulatory, and general life skills. Sports participation may also have positive social benefits, leading to both improved social identity and social adjustment.
Beginning in 6th grade, our students are introduced to competitive sports through our Middle School Sports Program. As they move from middle school to high school, they are able to participate in a wide variety of year-round athletics, including water polo, flag football, cross-country, golf, tennis, volleyball, football, basketball, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, lacrosse, and cheer and pep squad.
