Athletic Opportunities

Westminster offers 16 athletic teams for upper school students and 14 for middle school students. Many of the teams select team captains to serve as athletic and spiritual leaders for their teammates. These captains participate in a school-wide Captain's Council that develops captains' leadership abilities and fosters community throughout the athletic program. Many teams also require dedicated team managers, statisticians and videographers. Please contact Athletic Director Alan Miller for more information about athletic teams and leadership opportunities for student athletes.
