The Shipley athletic staff is dedicated to the belief that the playing fields offer unlimited opportunities for learning. Through teamwork and cooperation athletes learn about respect, pride, and the ability to cope with defeat. Students gain a new perspective on what it means to do one's best.

We believe that important physical, social, and moral values are learned through the experience of team sports and a rigorous physical education program. The athletic program combines healthy competition, skill development, and opportunities for each student to participate in ways that are best for him or her. Teamwork, school spirit, and good sportsmanship are emphasized. Lessons learned through athletics lead to lifelong health and fitness.

The physical education curriculum starts in pre-kindergarten and continues throughout the School. It is a sequential curriculum in which each step builds upon the last. Children are challenged both physically and mentally in age-appropriate activities.
