Xavier Athletics encourages the development of multi-sport athletes, and serves as the physical outlet of the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis––promoting the development of each Son of Xavier's unique athletic talents, challenges, and goals. Coaches and athletic administrators will promote a growth mindset that encourages each student-athlete to challenge himself both on and off the field. By fostering an enjoyable, team-first environment, Xavier athletics provides student athletes the opportunity to reach their full potential. 

At Xavier, we know that a strong and disciplined mind is enhanced by a strong, healthy body.

Xavier plays in three highly competitive leagues—the Catholic High School Athletic Association, the Catholic High School Football League (CHSFL), and the Catholic High School Hockey League. Athletic participation requires a tremendous commitment from players, coaches, and parents; most teams practice six days a week.

The Xavier Athletics Department maintains student-athlete wellness through modern sports medicine and exercise science. We have a partnership with NYU Langone Medical and Concussion Center; have a full-time strength and conditioning coach on staff; and provide myriad athletic training services.
