Athletics at UAS

The Athletics program at UAS is designed to encourage young athletes to participate in sport, pursue good sportsmanship, and work toward achieving their athletic potential. We believe that participating in sport helps create balanced individuals, leading to a healthy mind, body, and soul. Positive attitude, discipline, time management, and healthy competition help foster successful individuals. The opportunity to participate in athletics is a privilege and comes with the responsibility that each student maintains a high standard of behavior as well as achieving academically to their highest potential.

The UAS Scorpions (as we call our budding athletes) have the opportunity to participate in: Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Cross-Country, Badminton, Track and Field, Swimming, Rugby and Softball .

• Middle School (under 14 as of September 1st of current school year)
