Athletics at Goldie Feldman Academy are considered an integral part of a student's educational experience. We encourage and allow participation by all students at many levels of competition. We hope to teach many values to our students while they are engaged in the rigors of sport participation in a healthy team environment.
The goals of the program are to help all students have age-appropriate opportunities to:
- Develop skills and knowledge of game strategies and rules
- Collaborate and compete with others
- Provide maximum participation through inclusivity where possible
- Use and increase their unique talents and skills
- Develop a positive attitude towards themselves, others and their school
GFA offers a varsity (grades 5-8) and an instructional junior varsity (grades 2-5) sports program. The junior varsity sports offered are: soccer, tennis, flag football, and basketball. The varsity sports offered are: flag football, volleyball, boys and girls' basketball, co-ed soccer, co-ed tennis, and golf. Cross country and track are also offered.
The GFA varsity program competes within the Gulf Coast League, a league made up of roughly twenty area non-public schools. Our boys and girls basketball teams have qualified for the Gulf Coast League Play-offs in the past.
Our growing Varsity Athletic Program focuses on offering students the opportunity to play various sports within an instructional, yet competitive atmosphere. Being a member of a GFA varsity team teaches its players about sportsmanship, hard work, responsibility, and the importance of exercising on a regular basis. Competition also gives the athlete a chance to experience the thrill and pride of representing their school in athletic competition.
We hope that each and every student will, at some point, participate in either our Junior Varsity program, or on a Varsity team before graduating from GFA.
