Athletics: Limitless Opportunities for Growth

Athletics extend our students’ opportunities to learn and grow beyond the classroom
At Tatnall, the opportunity to learn and grow, to prepare for college and for life, is not limited to the classroom. Athletics is a vital part of the well-rounded Tatnall experience. Required participation in two sports per year from 7th through 12th grade gives every student the hands-on opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship and healthy living—skills that will serve them well no matter what their path in life. Whether a student is an elite athlete or is trying a sport for the first time, every individual has the opportunity to learn, grow, and compete as a Hornet.

Our Philosophy

Athletic participation helps prepare every student for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
 
Tatnall’s athletics philosophy puts promoting teamwork and leadership squarely at the center of our athletics program.
 
Through athletics, Tatnall gives every student another avenue for learning, development, social growth, and maturation, which help to prepare the student for the responsibilities of adult life.  We expect our coaches, participants, and spectators to strive at all levels to develop and display the attitudes of good sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment, dependability, good work ethic, self-discipline, and loyalty to teams and school.
